BASIC POLICY AND OPERATING

PRINCIPLES OF THE PEISS
To ensure a rational balance between
socio-economic development and
environmental protection for the
benefit of present and future
generation.
7
KEY OPERATING PRINCIPLE IN THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PHILIPPINE EIS
SYSTEM
q Assessing the direct and indirect impacts of a project on the

biophysical and human environment and ensuring that these
impacts are addressed by appropriate environmental
protection and enhancement measures.
q Project proponent are responsible for determining and
disclosing all relevant information necessary for a methodical
assessment of the environmental impacts on their project
q Guided by three general criteria
ü Environmental consideration
ü Assessment is technically sound
ü proposed environmental mitigating measures are effective
ü meaningful public participation

companies to prepare an environmental impact
assessment for any projects that will significantly
affect the quality of the environment.
This assessment is essential in obtaining an
Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC)
issued by DENR.

WHAT IS THE EIS REPORT?

q Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is the formal official
document of studies of the environmental impacts of a project
including the discussions on direct and indirect consequences
upon human welfare and ecological and environmental integrity.
qThe EIS vary from project to project but shall contain in every case
all relevant information and details about the proposed project or
undertaking, including the environmental impacts of the project
and the appropriate mitigating and enhancement measures.
qThe EIS usually follow an outline prescribed by law or its

WHAT IS AN ECC?
Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC)
§ is the document issued by the DENR Secretary thru the EMB, or the
Regional Director
Application decision document issued to the proponent after

thorough review of the EIA Report - It outlines the commitments of
the proponent which are necessary for the project to comply with
existing environmental regulations or to operate within the best
environmental practice that are not currently covered by existing laws
§ will not cause a significant negative environmental impact,

§ that the proponent has complied with all the requirements of the EIS system; and
§ that the proponent is committed to implement its approved Environmental Management
Plan in the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) or mitigating measures. 44
WHAT’S IN AN ECC?
§ Scope of project or undertaking
- in terms of area, capacity technology or process
§ Conditions as conformed by the Project Proponent to implement

mitigating measures for potentially negative impacts and/or
§ Enhancement measures for potentially positive impacts as
identified in the EIA Process
§ List of recommendation pertaining compliance/ satisfaction to

concerned LGUs/ agencies/ stakeholders.
§ NON-COMPLIANCE TO ANY OF THE CONDITIONS MAY BE

IMPOSED A CORRESPONDING PENALTY….
45
WHAT IS A CNC?
Certificate of Non-Coverage (CNC)
§ certifies that, based on the submitted Project Description
Report:
§ the project is not covered by the EIS System and is not
required to secure an ECC
§ Further, the CNC advises the Proponent on coverage to
other requirements by other DENR offices, LGUs or other
government agencies.
§ It is ministerial upon DENR-EMB to issue the CNC upon
application by a Proponent.

Government

Environmental Compliance Certificate of
Certificate (ECC) Non-Coverage (CNC)
48
ECC VALIDITY AND EXPIRY

Once the project is implemented,
qthe ECC/CNC remains valid and active for the LIFETIME of the
project: Provided
• There is no significant project expansion
• There is no change in technology
• There is no change in location
The ECC automatically expires if a project has

not been implemented within five (5) years
from ECC issuance
or if the ECC was not requested for extension

within three (3) months from the expiration of
the validity
49
SUSPENSION OF ECC
1. ECCs may be suspended for violation of
proponents to comply with ECC conditions.
2. It is noted that the ECC suspension does not

necessarily mean the proponent is absolved of its
responsibility in implementing EMP.
3. PD 1586 does not preclude the fact that DENR
may require the proponent to institute
environmental safeguards/ measures to prevent
further threat / damage to environment.
50
SUSPENSION OF ECC
The EMB Director or

the EMB-Regional Director
may issue a Cease-and-
Desist Order (CDO) based
on violation under the Phil
EIS system.
51
MONITORING PROTOCOLS
PROCEDURAL MANUAL (DAO 2003-30)
DENR-EMB has the primary mandate

of monitoring under the Philippine EIS System,
1
the other stakeholders (e.g. proponent) has equally

significant role in the monitoring system.
It encourages voluntary and self-regulation

as well as promotes self-monitoring and
2
compliance with environmental standards among

establishments.
52
OBJECTIVE OF
MONITORING
ü Primary purpose is to ensure the judicious

implementation of sound environmental
management within the company & its areas
of responsibilities.
5

AIMS TO INSURE THE FOLLOWING :

Monitor project compliance with the conditions set in the
ECC;
1
Monitor compliance with the Environmental Monitoring Plan

and the applicable laws, rules and regulations
2
Assess the effectiveness of the committed environmental

measures in mitigating the project’s environmental impacts;
3
3
Continual updating of EMP for sustained responsiveness to

project operation and impacts 54

ECC VALIDITY
Projects that have Stopped Operation for > 5 Years
ü Projects that have stopped operation for more than (5) years are
not required to obtain a new ECC provided all of the following
conditions are met:
ü CMR/CMVR had continuously submitted or an official request
for suspension of the CMR/CMVR had been approved by the
EMB
ü No request for relief and /or cancellation of ECC had been
approved
ü The resumption of operation will not involve expansion in
terms of production capacity (volume of output; number of

ECC VALIDITY
Projects that were not implemented within ECC Effectivity
The ECC issued will be considered not valid if the project was not implemented
within five years. The proponent is required to apply for new ECC if he has intention
to implement the project.
EMB considered that the project is implemented once site development or clearings
operation is started ( ex. demolition / resettlement of Informal Settlers started
➢ CSR/ SDP /Fencing activities and the like will not

be considered as project implementation.
