V. SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK (SDP) AND IEC FRAMEWORK
The SOP and IEC Framework shall be required for all ECPs. These may be
required for EIS-Based ECC applications for non ECPsbased on the EMB-
RO's discretion.
The SOP of the project shall be derived from, and aligned with, the LGU's
existing SOP. The project's SOP normally aims to prevent/mitigate and/or
enhance a project's adverse and positive impacts, respectively, on people's
livelihood, health and environment.
The SOP shall contain the following:
a.) Livelihood or community development programs/activities,
b.) Responsible community members/beneficiaries,
c.) Partner institutions(government, NGO, others),
d.) Timeframe implementation, and
e.) Source and amount per activity/component.
The IEC Framework shall include the following information:
a. Target Sector Identified as Needing Project IEC
b. Major Topic/s of concern in Relation to Project
c. IEC Scheme / Strategy / Methods
d. Information Medium
e. Indicative Timelines and Frequency
f. Indicate Cost
VI. ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE MONITORING
The framework for compliance monitoring including environmental
performance indicators shall serve as standards for determining
compliance. This shall correspond to the baseline environmental parameter
necessary to monitor the identified key environmental impacts for the specific
sector/project type.
As a pro-active tool for minimization/elimination of adverse consequences to
the environmental quality, the project proponent shall propose "Environmental
Quality Performance Level" (EQPL) for each critical parameter identified
above. At least two EQPLs are required namely the action and limit level. A
third optional criterion is the early warning level which is actually a red-
flagging alert level.
It shall also include description of the monitoring scheme and mechanisms to
be employed:
• Self-Monitoring Plan
• Multi-sectoral Monitoring Framework (for ECPs and EIS-based Non-
ECPs as deemed necessary by EMB RO)
• Environmental Guarantee and Monitoring Fund Commitment (for ECPs
and EIS-based Non-ECPs as deemed necessary by EMB RO)
VII. EMERGENCY RESPONSE POLICY AND GENERIC GUIDELINES
The policy and generic guidelines are to be consistent with the relevant
agencies' requirements that are to be complied with after the EGG is issued,
e.g. MGB has a prescribed ERP content for mining projects.
VIII. ABANDONMENT/DECOMMISSIONING/REHABILITATION POLICIES AND
GENERIC GUIDELINES
Statement on Proponent's policies and generic procedures; Detailed
Abandonment/Decommissioning Plan to be submitted post-ECC, within a
timeframe specified in the ECC
IX. INSTITUTIONAL PLAN FOR EMP IMPLEMENTATION
Discuss the Table of Organization of the Proponent where the reporting line
and manpower complement/positions of the EU, MEPEO or equivalent units
to higher management and relationships with operating departments are
shown.
