G. Salvador, CESO IV Regional Director Dear Regional Director Salvador, We write in relation to the formation of a Multi-Partite Monitoring Team (‘MMT’) for SM City Rosales. To recall, we have already complied with your office's decision to impose charges on SM City Rosales for its failure to constitute an MMT upon issuance of its Environmental Compliance Certificate ("ECC") in 2008. We now seek your consideration in no longer forming ¢ an MMT for SM City Rosales in light of the existing circumstances described hereunder. SM City Rosales has already finished construction by November 2008 and have immediately commenced operations thereafter. No adverse environmental findings have ever been found against SM City Rosales up to this date. As previously stated in our letter dated 28 December 2012, SM City Rosales has been consistently submitting its Quarterly Self-Monitoring Reports, procured all necessary environmental permits and have complied with the conditions provided under its ECC. As stated under the Revised Procedural Manual for Department Administrative Order No. 2003-30 ("DAO 2003-30"), MMTs of projects whose significant environmental impacts do not persist after the construction phase can be terminated. Considering that SM City Rosales has been operational for 5 years since 2008, there is no longer any reason to form the MMT at this late stage. The monitoring of SM City Rosales’ environmental compliance is already being done through the regular reports that it submits to your office. Consequently, even if an MMT is formed at this time, its monitoring will be a mere superfluity as the same is adequately addressed by the reportorial requirements presoribed under DAO 2003-30. In any case, the formation of an MMT is not even mandatory for Non-Environmentally Critical Projects, to which SM City Rosales squarely falls.
