5. Environmental Impact Assessment
EIA- process that involves evaluating and predicting the
likely impacts of a project (including cumulative
impacts) on the environment during stages of the
project where appropriate preventive, mitigating and
enhancement measures are formulated to address
the consequences.

OUTLINEOF EPEP
The EPEP will be pre-evaluated by
Mine Rehabilitation Fund Committee
(MRFC) and final evaluation and
approval will be done by the
Contingent Liability Fund-Steering
Committee (CLRF-SC).
The Annual EPEP will be evaluated
and approved by Mine Rehabilitation
Fund Committee (MRFC).

12. PROGRESSIVE

13.  The Environmental Protection and Enhancement
Program (EPEP) provides the operational link
between the ECC and the environmental protection
and enhancement commitments of the company.
 Focuses on the progressive land restoration and
subsequent reforestation.
 Sets out the life-of-mine environmental protection
and enhancement strategies based on best mining
practices.
Mining Act and IRR
ANNUAL EPEP
 Expenses for the AEPEP should be included in the
Project’s annual budget and is subject to annual
audit by the MRFC;
 Operating a mining project without an approved
EPEP/AEPEP is subject to penalties;
 Must be submitted to the Mines office at least 30
days prior to the beginning of every calendar year.
 Failure to comply with the EPEP requirement
would be sufficient ground for the suspension of
mining contract/permit.
Phil. EIS Law
ECC
 Document certifying that all identified
impacts and concerns are addressed,
discussed and agreed upon.
 Scientific and acceptable mitigating
measures focusing on environment
in executing the project are translated
into conditionalities.
 Unjustifiable compliance with the
conditionalities compels the issuing
agency to impose penalties and/or
sanctions.
