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: following: a.) Livelihood Livelihood or community developm ent programs/activiti programs/activities, es, b.)

Information Indicative Timelines and F requency e. Indicative Indicate Cost f.
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 shall also include include description description of the m onitoring onitoring scheme and m echanisms to be em ployed: • Self-Monitori Self-Monitoring ng Plan • Multi-sectoral Multi-sectoral Monitoring Monitoring Fram ework (for ECPs and EIS-based EIS-based Non-ECPs as deeme d necessary by EMB RO) • Environmental Guarantee and M onitoring onitoring Fund Comm itment (for (for ECPs ECPs and EIS-based EIS-based Non-ECPs Non-ECPs as deemed ne cessary by EMB RO )

1. Direct Direct impact impact area (DIA) is initially delimited delimited during the the Pre-EIA Pre-EIA Study Stage Stage as the area where ALL project project facilities facilities are proposed to be constructed constructed/situa /situated ted and where where all operations are proposed to be undertaken, e.g. in a mining project proposal, this can include the entire block proposed to be mined and all areas outside the block where whe re auxilia auxiliary ry facilitie facilities s may be sited sited such such as a pow power er plant, plant, access access roads, roads, the administrative building site, any coastal stockyard, pier/causeway. For most projects, the DIA is equiva equivalent lent to the total total area applie applied d for an ECC ECC.. 2. Indi Indire rect ct Im Impa pact ct Area Area (IIA (IIA)) du duri ring ng the the prepre-EI EIA A Stud Study y can can on only ly be assu assume med d or qualitatively estimated but may be guided by secondary data and information from key interv interview iews s of reliabl reliable e local local authoritie authorities, s, e.g e.g.. Based Based on a NAMRIA NAMRIA topogra topographic phic map, an IIA can be the stretch of the river/s OUTSIDE the project area but draining the projec projectt site site which which can pot potent entiall ially y transpor transportt Total Total Suspen Suspended ded Solids Solids and oth other er discharges discharges from the project project towards towards downstream communities communities.. 3. Once Once the EIA Study Study is done, done, the impact impact areas areas are more more technic technicall ally y def defined ined.. The impact impact areas may now be derived based on the environmental environmental assessment assessment,, e.g. thru dispersion/ dispersion/transp transport ort modeling modeling results. The The DIA may include mixing or buffer zone areas areas delimi delimited ted by the point point or isoplet isopleths hs where where ambient ambient standard standards/g s/guid uidelin elines es are met, e.g. In a geothermal project, the DIA may cover the project site plus the stretch of the river river up to the point point whe where re the level level of boron boron (critic (critical al param paramete eterr for irriga irrigation tion waters) meets the water quality criteria of 0.75 ppm; The DIA may also include the land area around the geothermal power plant site which may be exposed to Ground Level Concentrations (GLCs) of more than the 0.07 ppm hydrogen sulfide ambient air quality quality standar standard. d. Furthe Further, r, the interphas interphase/ov e/overl erlap ap of the biophy biophysic sical al DIA with with soci socioo-cu cult ltur ural al en envi viro ronm nmen entt shal shalll def defin ine e the the soci socioo-cu cultu ltura rall DIA DIA afte afterr the the EIA EIA is completed. 4. The Indirect Indirect Impact Area Area (IIA) is clearly clearly delineated delineated only only after the EIA Study is done, and is more accurately established during post-ECC monitoring. For the biophysical environment environment,, the IIA may be th the e area from the outer boundary boundary of the mixing or buffer zone to the point or area where the baseline environmental quality is calculated or monitored monitored to be met. The socio-cultural socio-cultural IIA shall be based based on the area of influence of the biophysi biophysical cal II A. 5. If baseline environmental values are higher than any of the DENR-EMB standards,
criteria criteria or ambient ambient guideline values, values, the project's project's DIA and IIA may still still be reckoned reckoned from from the modelin modeling g results results,, with with sUbseq sUbsequen uentt validat validation ion of the mixing/ mixing/buf buffer fer zones, zones, cumu cumulat lativ ive e leve levels ls of crit critic ical al pa para rame mete ters rs du duri ring ng po post st-E -ECC CC mo moni nitor toring ing,, an and d with with subs subsequ equen entt ad adju just stme ment nt of the EMP.

Consist Consistent ent with with the basic basic policy and operati operating ng princi principle ple of the PEISS PEISS wherein wherein the EIA Process is based on a timely, well-informed public participation of potentiallyaffected affected communities communities,, identified identified stakeholders stakeholders in both direct and indirect indirect impact impact areas need to be informed of, and consulted on, the project proposal at the earliest EIA stage as possible. 1. Public participation participation of the stakeholders, stakeholders, particularly particularly in in the direct impact areas, is to be sust sustai aine ned d du duri ring ng the the EIA EIA Stud Study y an and d in the the cond conduc uctt of mu mult ltii-se sect ctor oral al monitoring monitoring of EIS-based EIS-based projects projects during during the project implement implementation. ation. 2.
