30, to monitor compliance to the Phil. EIS
System.

ModesofComplianceMonitoring:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Compliance Monitoring by DENR EMB


Self Monitoring by the Proponent
Third Party Auditors
MMT Multipartite Monitoring Team

A. Modes of Compliance Monitoring:


Compliance Monitoring by EMB DENR-EMB
is the responsible agency that shall ensure that the
monitoring activities are achieved. At the
institutional level, monitoring of compliance with the
ECC conditions as well as applicable law, rules and
regulations, shall be undertaken by the concerned
EMB Regional Office with support from the EMB
Central Office whenever necessary. All project
covered by the EIS System and issued ECCs are
subject to periodic monitoring by the EMB, i.e.,
compliance and impact monitoring in accordance
with established procedures and protocols.

B. Self-Monitoring by the Project


Proponent
Project
proponents
are
primarily
responsible for meeting the commitments
made in their EMP as well as meeting the
terms and conditions of the ECC. As part of
their corporate and or individual obligations,
the proponent shall conduct regular selfmonitoring and submit the requisite reports
(Self-Monitoring Report) to the DENR-EMB.

C. Monitoring by Third Party Auditors


Within the framework of the Philippines EIS
System, third Party Auditors are independent service
providers who are accredited by the appropriate
government agency and engaged by an establishment
to conduct an environmental audit. Environmental
audit is defined as a systematic and documented
verification process of objectively obtaining and
evaluating evidence to determine whether the
environmental performances of the establishment
conform or comply with its commitments in the
EMP, EIS and other related documents, the audit
should cover the establishments due diligence in
preventing, detecting, and correcting violations.

D. Monitoring by the MMT


An MMT shall be formed immediately after the
issuance of an ECC. Proponents required to establish
an MMT shall put up the corresponding
Environmental Monitoring Fund (EMF not later than
the initial construction phase of the project.

The purpose of organizing the MMT are to


encourage public participation, greater stakeholders
vigilance and provide appropriate check and balance
mechanisms in the monitoring of project
implementation. The MMT also serves as the focal
group to handle complains from stakeholders at the
local level

Composition of the MMT


As per DAO 2003-30, the DENR-EMB, in coordination
with the proponent, shall organize nurture and capacitate the
MMT to enable it to function as an autonomous
environmental monitoring partner. With due consideration to
the nature and location of the project, the following are the
proposed members of the MMT:
DENR-EMB
Project Proponent
LGU/s
Directly affected vulnerable/marginalized groups
Other GAs
Others as identified during the scoping session

MMT Executive Committee (EC)


The MMT EC shall be composed of
representatives of :
DENR-EMB
LGU official or designated representative
Project Proponent
As a general rule, the DENR-EMB Regional
Director shall serve as the Chair of the MMT EC. In
some cases, the provisions of the MOA on the
establishment of the MMT may specify the
procedures for the selection of the MMT chair.

Depending on the scale or magnitude of the project,


sectoral team/s maybe organized composed but not
limited to the following members:
DENR-EMB representative/s
Representative of the LGU/s at the local level
(preferably barangay)
Directly affected vulnerable/marginalized
groups who maybe represented by local
NGOs/POs
Concerned government agencies/s
Proponent representative
Other sectoral that may be identified during
negotiations

2. Fund Requirements
a. EMF Environmental Monitoring Fund
is a fund that a proponent shall commit to
establish in support of the activities of the
MMT for the compliance monitoring. The
EMF will be established as agreed upon
and specified in the MOA.

Shall be exclusively utilized to cover all cost attendant to


the operation of the MMT:

Cost of transportation board and lodging (see


discussions below

MMT meetings see discussions on honoraria


and other cost)

Rental of equipment the proponent may allow


MMT members to use its equipment. If necessary, the
EMF may include provisions
for the rental of
equipment. In cases where the
EMF is sufficient o
purchase equipment, such equipment may be acquired only
when a clear
and distinct system of accountability
(e.g.,
possession, custody storage use, etc.) has been
formulated

Documentation (photos, video, etc.)


Sampling shipment or transport of samples
including laboratory
Hiring outside expert or subcontracting of a
monitoring work to a neutral party
Training of the MMT
Preparation of monitoring reports and
distribution
Public information campaign/dissemination

An EMF/MMT is required for all projects and


undertakings classified as Category A. In selected cases, it
maybe required for a project and undertaking classified as
Category B. The criteria on when such projects shall be
required to establish an EMF/MMT are the following:

Possible discharge of toxic on hazardous materials


Significant amount of discharge that requires care,
full monitoring and which may lead to significant
public opposition/complaints
Significant public opposition based on valid
environment issues

Basis of EMF:
Environmental Management Plan and
Monitoring Plan
ECC Provisions for a particular project

a. EGF Environmental Guarantee Fund shall be


established for all co-located on single projects that
have been determined by EMB to pose a
significant public risk or where the project requires
rehabilitation or restoration
It is a fund that proponents shall commit to establish
when an ECC is issued for project or undertakings
determined by EMB to pose significant risk to
answer for damage to life, property, and the
environment caused by such risk or requiring
rehabilitation or restoration measures.

It shall also be used to implement damage


prevention
measure,
environment
education, scientific or research studies,
IEC and training.
The MMT EC, acting as an EGF
committee, shall manage the fund

PurposeofEGF:
The immediate rehabilitation of areas affected by damage
to the environment and the resulting deterioration of
environmental quality as a direct consequence of project
construction, operation, and abandonment;
The just compensation of parties and communities
affected by the negative impacts of the project;
The conduct of scientific or research studies that will aid
in the prevention or rehabilitation of accidents and/or
environmental damages; or
For contingency clean-up activities, environmental
enhancement measure, damage prevention program
including the necessary IEC and capability building
activities

3. Fees, Penalties and Fines


A. Project which are established and/or operating
without an ECC

if found operating without valid ECC, shall


be ordered closed through a CDO (cease
and desist order). Such issuance of a CDO
comes after the issuance of a Notice of
Violation (NOV) and the conduct of a
technical reading. However, for projects
that pose danger to life and property, a CDO
shall be immediately issued

B. Project violating ECC conditions, EMP,


Rules and Regulations
Project violating any of the conditions in the
ECC, EMP or rules and regulations pertaining to
the EIS system shall be subjected to suspension
or cancellation of its ECC/or a fine in an amount
not to exceed P50,000 for every violations of an
ECC condition, or the EMP, or the EIS System
rules and regulation.

C. Misrepresentation in the IEE/EIS or any


others Document
Misrepresentation in the IEE/EIS or any
other documents submitted by the
proponent shall be subjected to suspension
or cancellation of the ECC and/or a five in
an amount not to exceed P50,000 for every
misrepresentation.

MONITORING, VALIDATION
AND EVALUATION/AUDIT
PROCEDURES

Objectives of Monitoring,
Validation and Evaluation/Audit:
The primary objective is to ensure the judicious
implementation of sound environmental management
within the agency/company and its areas of operation.
Specifically, it aims to ensure the following:

1. Project compliance with the conditions set in


the ECC.
2.
Project
compliance
with
the
Environmental Management Plan (EMP).

3. Effectiveness of environmental measures on


prevention or mitigation of actual project
impacts vis--vis the predicted impacts used as
basis for the EMP design; and
4. Continual updating of the EMP for sustained
responsiveness to project operations and project
impacts.

VariancesofMonitoring:
1.Baseline Monitoring it is used to obtain information
on existing environmental conditions prior to a
proposed development.
-It provides a basis for undertaking impact
assessment, for measuring project induce change, and
for comparing actual with predicted effects.
2.

Compliance Monitoring ensures that


regulations set are observed or standards are met.
Compliance to the conditions set in the ECC.

3. Effects or Impact Monitoring it is used


to describe periodic measurement of
environmental variables to determine
changes during construction and operation
of the project.
- A product of baseline studies
- Determine an impact if it has occurred and
to estimate its magnitude.

Modes of Compliance Monitoring/


MonitoringProtocols:
1.Self
Monitoring
by
the
Project
Proponent/Company Proponents are responsible
for monitoring their projects.
- Project Proponent is responsible for meeting
commitments made in their EMP as well as
meeting the terms and conditions of the ECC.
- PP shall conduct regular self-monitoring and
submit
the
proponents
COMPLIANCE
MONITORING REPORT (CMR) or SelfMonitoring Report. (See pro-forma of the report)

2. Monitoring by the Multipartite Monitoring Team


(MMT)- validate Proponents environmental performance
- Compliance with the ECC conditions as well as
applicable laws, rules and regulations.
- Validate Proponents conduct of self monitoring
- Receive complaints, and gather relevant data to
facilitate determination of validity of complaints
Prepare, integrate and disseminate simplifies
validation reports to the community
- Make regular and timely submission of MMT Reports,
the Compliance Monitoring and Verification Report
(CMVR).

- the ComplianceMonitoringandValidation
Report(CMVR)shall be submitted to the
DENR-EMB. (See pro-forma of the report).
- the CMVRshall be submitted quarterly and
will be subjected to periodic environmental audit
through the PEISS EMA.

3. Third Party Auditors- independent service


providers who are accredited by the
appropriate government agency/establishment
to conduct environmental audit.

Environmental Audit- it is a
systematic
and
documented
verification process of objectively
obtaining and evaluating evidence
to
determine
whether
the
environmental performances of the
establishments due diligence in
preventing,
detecting,
and
correcting violations

4. The DENR- EMB, shall be responsible for the


over-all evaluation/audit of the Proponents
monitoring and the MMT validation Report.
- The EMB-EIAMD shall implement the Project
Environmental Monitoring and Audit
Prioritization Scheme (PEMAPS), an EMB
