EMB’s target for this aspect is that the number of Track 1 awardees will increase annually. Improvement of Environmental Compliance of Track 2 Recipients Improvement of environmental compliance can be measured by determining the percentage of Track 2 recipients with increased EPR. For this aspect, EMB’s target is that Track 2 recipients will achieve 100 percent EPR within the validity period of the ECONA. Mainstreaming to the Environmental Monitoring and Enforcement Division

(EMED) of EMB ROs Since PEPP is just a program of EMB, the ultimate goal is that the program be eventually mainstreamed to EMB ROs and be integrated in their regular enforcement

17

activities. This shall be evaluated by determining the extent and stability of mainstreaming the PEPP in EMB ROs. For this aspect, EMB shall measure the percentage of EMB ROs with Track 1 awardees, with a target of 100 percent or all regions with Track 1 awardees within five (5) years of PEPP implementation. These evaluation criteria are not exhaustive or definitive. Revisions and/or additional criteria/benchmarks may be undertaken to fine tune the evaluation process. At the minimum, these evaluation criteria shall be reviewed every three (3) years to assess their appropriateness and/or relevance. 7.0 REVIEW AND REVISION

Any amendments, revisions, or changes to DAO 20AA-ZZ shall trigger the review and amendment or revision of this Procedural Manual.

Environmental performance is the implementation and practice of responsible environmental management that ensures, at the very minimum, compliance with environmental laws, rules, and regulations and other related policies. Under the Philippine Environment Partnership Program (PEPP), environmental performance of establishments is rated based on compliance with the following environmental laws:

Presidential Decree (PD) 1586 Philippine Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) System

Republic Act (RA) 6969 Toxic Substances and Hazardous and Nuclear Wastes Control Act of 1990

Title II – Toxic Chemical Substances

Title III – Hazardous Wastes

RA 8749 Philippine Clean Air Act of 1999

RA 9003 Ecological Solid Wastes Management Act of 2000

RA 9275 Philippine Clean Water Act of 2004 Each environmental module has equal weight. 1.0 ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE RATING WORKSHEET Each environmental module has its own separate worksheet and shall be assessed and rated independently from one another. In addition, each module has an equal contribution to the overall rating of an establishment. The structure of the worksheet is presented in Table 1, while details are discussed hereafter.

1.1 ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

For each environmental module, specific criteria have been identified to be used in assessing the environmental performance of establishments. These include, but are not limited to, the following:

Securing of permits and/or clearances

Meeting performance standards

Training

Reporting 1.2 WEIGHTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE CRITERION

A specific weight is assigned per environmental performance criterion. Each environmental module has a distinct total weight for all of its criteria. The assigned weights are fixed and should not be changed from one establishment to another. Should a change be deemed necessary, this shall only be conducted after the review of the EMB Technical Evaluation Committee. 1.3 APPLICABILITY SCREENING (Y OR N) Considering that not all requirements may be applicable to an establishment, an applicability assessment shall be performed prior to evaluation. Each environmental performance criterion shall be reviewed and assessed whether it can be applied as criterion for a given establishment. If the criterion is determined to be applicable, write “Y” in the applicability screening column; otherwise, write “N”. 1.4 APPLICABLE WEIGHTS An applicable criterion or a “Y” in the applicability screening column denotes that the weight of the criterion shall be used in the evaluation. On the other hand, an “N” denotes that no weight shall be used since the criterion is not applicable. The total applicable weight can be obtained by adding all applicable weights and noting the sum at the bottom cell under this column per module. Should there be any inapplicable criterion/criteria, the corresponding weight/s shall be deducted from the total weight of the module.

1.6 RECORDS PRESENTED / REMARKS

This part of the environmental performance rating worksheet is very important as this will justify the score of the establishment on the environmental performance criterion. Specific records shall be listed corresponding to the environmental performance criteria requirements. Should the required records to meet environmental performance criteria be unavailable, or if there are insufficiencies in the records; these should be indicated in this part of the rating worksheet. Leaving blanks or stating “Not Applicable” or “N/A” is not allowed. 1.7 ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE SCORE

Scoring for each criterion is detailed in Section 2.0. After scoring each criterion, the scores are then summed and noted at the bottom cell under this column per module. 1.8 ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE RATING The environmental performance rating in percentage (%) per module is obtained by dividing the total score for the module with the total applicable weight, then multiplying the quotient by 100. For cases where the resulting rating has decimal places, the score shall be rounded off to the nearest whole number. The overall environmental performance rating of the establishment is obtained by averaging the rating of the six modules. 2.0 SCORING PER ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE CRITERION This section discusses the process on how each environmental performance criterion shall be scored. Details per environmental module are presented in the succeeding subsections. 2.1 PD 1586 AND ITS IRR This subsection presents the environmental performance rating worksheet for PD 1586 and its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR). Scoring per criterion shall be according to the requirements prescribed by DENR Administrative Order (DAO) 2003-30 and other related orders using the guidelines presented in Table 2.
