Are all development projects in our
country required to undertake EIA
Study?
Project Screening
▶ Seeks to focus on those
projects with potentially
significant adverse
environmental impacts or
where the impacts are not
fully known
▶ Determine the level of
assessment to be required

COMPLIANCE
MONITORING
PROCESS
Primary Roles & Report Forms
Underlying Purpose
▶ To assess the effectiveness of
environmental measures on prevention
or mitigation of actual project impacts
vis-a-vis the predicted impacts used as
basis for the EMP design;
To ensure continual updating of the
EMP for sustained responsiveness to
current project operations and actual
project impacts.
Who will monitor?
Levels of Monitoring
▶ Project Proponent/Company
▶ Table Monitoring
Documents submitted
o reports
o plans
o required permits
o
other proof of
compliance or
implementation
▶ Field Monitoring
Site Validation
Levels of Monitoring
▶ Project Proponent/Company
o Compliance Monitoring Report (CMR)
a) Monitor compliance with ECC
b) Assess effectiveness of EMP
o Functions
Validate project compliance with the
conditions stipulated in the ECC and the
EMP;
Validate Proponent’s conduct of self-
monitoring;
Receive complaints, gather relevant
information to facilitate determination of
validity of complaints or concerns about
the project and timely transmit to the
Proponent and EMB recommended measures
to address the complaint;
Prepare, integrate and disseminate
simplified validation reports to
community stakeholders;
Levels of Monitoring
