The EUF is a market-based policy instrument to complement the existing regulatory mechanisms. EUF rules and regulations apply to all development projects, installations and activities that discharge liquid waste into and pose a threat to the environment of the Laguna de Bay Region which covers industrial, commercial, domestic and agricultural sources. These rules shall govern the administration of discharge permits that are based on an assessment of fees or charges on industrial and/or municipal effluents, including their application, issuance conditions, modifications, sanctions and enforcement. The EUF is aimed at reducing the pollution loading into the Laguna de Bay by enjoining all dischargers of liquid waste to internalize the cost of environmental degradation and enhancement into their business decisions or actions.
