The Environmental Impact Statement System PDF Print E-mail

Presidential Decree No. 1586, s. 1978, established the Environmental Impact Statement System and provides that no person, partnership or corporation shall undertake or operate any project declared as environmentally critical or is located within an environmentally critical area without first securing an Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) issued by the President or his duly authorized representative.

Administrative Order No. 42 of 2002 streamlined the EIS processing system and delegated the ECC approving authority to the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and the Director and Regional directors of the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) of the DENR.

The DENR Secretary issued Administrative Order No. 61, Series of 2004, delegating to the LLDA General Manager the authority to grant or deny the issuance of Environmental Compliance Certificate / Certificate of Non-Coverage (ECC/CNC) for projects located within the Laguna de Bay Region.

The LLDA adopted the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) System and its Implementing Rules and Regulations in the Laguna de Bay Region starting 01 December 2004 (LLDA Board Resolution No.234, Series of 2004).
