and for Other Purposes
The law aims to achieve and maintain clean air that meets the
national air quality guideline values for criteria pollutants,
throughout the Philippines, while minimizing the possible associated
impacts to the economy.
DENR Administrative Order No. 2000-81 Implementing Rules and
Regulations of the Clean Air Act
DENR Administrative Order No. 2000-82 National Air Quality

Provides for a comprehensive and integrated strategy to prevent
and minimize pollution through a multi sectoral and participatory
approach involving all stakeholders
DENR Administrative Order No. 2005-10 Implementing Rules and
Regulations of the Philippine Clean Water Act of 2004
Formulation of Water Quality Criteria and Effluent

Standards / Air Quality Ambient and Emission Standards
A Technical Committee is convened to prepare/revise the
standards.
Considerations :
Advancement in air and water pollution control technology
State of development in the country
Environmental conditions brought about by rapid industrialization and
increase in population
PERMIT REQUIREMENTS (Water Quality)

The DENR requires owners or operators of facilities that discharge
regulated effluents to secure a discharge permit (DP).
The DP specifies among others the quantity and quality of effluent
that said facilities are allowed to discharge in a particular water
body, compliance schedule and monitoring requirements.
The DENR-EMB requires industrial and manufacturing

establishments to install and operate efficient pollution control
facilities/devices.
.
INDUSTRIAL EFFLUENT AND COMPLIANCE

MONITORING
Series of industrial plants surveys, investigations and follow-
up inspections are conducted by personnel of the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Environmental
Management Bureau (EMB) Regional offices.
Compliance of industrial wastewater discharge is based on
DENR Adminstrative Order O 35. A specific set of effluent
standards is set for every classification of the receiving body of
water.
PERMIT REQUIREMENTS (Air Quality)

The DENR requires owners or operators of facilities that has Air
Pollution Source Equipment (APSE) and Air Pollution Control
devices (APCD) to secure a Permit to Operate (PtO)
New Sources: Existing Sources:
-Secure Engineering report covering plant -Renew every 5 years
description -Secure quarterly self monitoring report
-Plan and specification of installation -Renewal of accreditation of PCO
-Air quality impact analysis -Compliance testing:
-Vicinity map -Large sources : twice per year
-Designation of Pollution Control Officer -Medium: once per year
(PCO) -Small once every 2 years
-Other legal documentary requirements

compliance is expensive
In some cases, political will
Provision of sufficient resources to implement
air/water quality management programs
Enforcement of regulations
Solutions to the problems

Creation of Industrial Ecowatch Program / Philippine
Environmental Partnership Program
promotes self-monitoring and compliance with

environmental standards and to encourage voluntary self-
regulation among establishments for improved
environmental performance by encouraging pollution
reduction beyond compliance through public recognition
and praise and creating incentives for dischargers and
producers.
