DAO 2003-30 Flashcards

1
Q

document issued by the DENR/EMB after a positive review of an ECC application, certifying that based on the representations of the proponent, the proposed project or undertaking will
not cause significant negative: environmental impact. The ECC also certifies that the proponent has complied with all the requirements of the EIS System and has committed to implement its approved Environmental Management Plan. The ECC contains specific measures and conditions that the project proponent has to undertake before and during the operation of a project, and in some cases, during the project’s abandonment phase to mitigate identified environmental impacts.

Q

process that involves evaluating and
predicting the likely impacts of a project (including cumulative impacts) on the
environment during construction, commissioning, operation and abandonment. It also includes designing appropriate preventive, mitigating and enhancement measures addressing these consequences to protect the environment and the community’s welfare. The process is undertaken by, among others, the project proponent and/or EIA Consultant, EMB, a Review Committee, affected
communities and other stakeholders.

which shall be readily accessible and disbursable for the immediate clean-up or
rehabilitation of areas affected by damages in the environment and the resulting
deterioration of environmental quality as a direct consequence of a project’s construction, operation or abandonment. It shall likewise be used to compensate
parties and communities affected by the negative impacts of the project, and to
fund community-based environment related projects including, but not limited to, information and education and emergency preparedness programs.
