II. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This section should include a summary of the major findings for the monitoring period. For
example, a
statement that there were no major activities that influenced the monitoring parameters during the
monitoring period can be made if there were no really no activities by the proponent that affected the
monitored parameters.

III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

A. Compliance Monitoring

The Status of compliance to the ECC conditionalities and the attainment of EMP commitments
should
be elaborated in this section. Reasons for non-compliance or unmet commitment should be
explained
and solutions and measures to attain full compliance of ECC terms and conditions as well as
satisfactory
attainment of EMP commitments should be discussed as renewed efforts for the next monitoring
period.
Table 1 may be used to summarize the status of compliance.

B. Impact Monitoring

This section shall contain relevant graphical presentation of quantitative and semi-quantitative impact
monitoring
results showing trends, comparing past monitoring results with the current. Relevant monitoring results
in the other
SMR modules shall be referred to. The latest monitoring findings and conclusion should be discussed in
text form.

Qualitative impact monitoring results may be presented in text form or in terms of pictorial coverage, if
applicable.
Examples of qualitative impacts are those relating to quality of life, degree of happiness, and sense of
environmental cleanliness.

i. Summary of Previous Monitoring


The key findings, recommendations, and action plan from the previous monitoring and outstanding
issues from
earlier monitoring periods (if applicable) should be highlighted in this section.

ii. Current Monitoring Results and Findings


The data collected and related expenses from the various sampling and measurement events done
under the Environmental Monitoring Plan (EMoP) or a Sampling and Measurement Plan (SAMP) for the
current monitoring period shall be summarized in a tabular form, preferably using the prescribed format
in Tables 2 and 3 below and discussed
under this section. Only processed and summarized data must be presented here.
ANNEX 3-1

The current monitoring results must be related to the historical trend for each parameter. Any deviation
from this trend must be explained. More, importantly, the discussion must focus on point-by-point
comparison of the gathered values with Environmental Quality Performance Levels (EQPLs), if EQPLs
have been committed by the Proponent or established with the Multi-partite Monitoring Team. The
monitoring results could also be used to determine the action and limit levels for the specific project.
These should all be presented here in detail and summarized in the conclusions and recommendations
section.

Compliances, non-compliances and exceedances must all be thoroughly explained. In cases of


compliances, success factors must be cited. For non-compliances and exceedances, the proponent’s
response should be explained. Moreover, causative factors must be identified and additional solutions
and mitigation measures proposed, if needed.

It should also cite the weather conditions and other factors which may affect the results of the sampling
activities.

The status of compliance to recommendations from previous monitoring and measures included in the
action plan should be described and any unmet commitment must be rationalized and alternative, if
needed, presented.

*EQPL-Environmental Quality Performance Level

o Alert or Red Flag - early warning

o Action Level-point where management measures must be employed so as not to reach


the regulated threshold or limit level, or to reduce deterioration of affected environmental
component to pre-impact or optimum environmental quality

o Limit Level-regulated threshold of pollutant (standard that must not be exceeded); point
where emergency response measures must be employed to reduce pollutants to lower
than standard limit.

o NOTE: Section on EQPLs may be filled out as a Proponent’s draft commitment or after
these have been established and mutually agreed upon among Proponent, EMB and
other MMT members. Otherwise, only the LIMIT Level shall be the reference for
regulatory compliance. This means that environmental management measures are
formulated at the “ACTION level” so as not to exceed this regulated threshold

IV. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS


This Section should present the conclusions and recommendations of the current SMR based on the
results and discussion of the previous sections. It should also explain if the previous monitoring
recommendations should continue (if implemented). On the other hand, if warranted, the
recommendation may be the cessation of specific or all monitoring activities.

The conclusions and recommendations should preferably be in a bulleted format and as much as
possible grouped according to coheret themes, such as the following headings.
ANNEX 3-1

A. Compliance Status

Only the key conclusions about the status of compliance to ECC and EMP are included in this section.
The status of non-compliances should be particularly tracked throughout all SMRs even if compliance has
been already attained. Recommended additional measures or amendments to the EMP should be presented
here.

B. Environmental Quality Status (applicable only if EQPLs have been set by the Proponent as its
commitment or if opted to be mutually agreed upon by Proponent with the EMB and other members of the
MMT) Only the key conclusions on meeting the set EQPLs are included in this section.

C. Environmental Management Plan Status


Only the key conclusions about the status of EMP implementation and recommended additional measures
or amendments should be presented here.

D. ENVIRONMENTAL RISK CATEGORIZATION


The proponent should fill-up or update the project’s environmental risk categorization questionnaire
(presented in Annex 2-7d of the Revised Procedural Manual of DAO 2003-30) – applicable on the Second
Semi-annual ECC Compliance Monitoring Report.

E. WORK PLAN FOR NEXT MONITORING PERIOD


The specific actions for the next monitoring period, including carry-overs from previous monitoring periods,
should be detailed in this section.

V. ATTACHMENTS

Please have the following documents attached:


a) Laboratory Results of Analysis from DENR-EMB recognized laboratory;
b) Approved Impact Mitigation Plan in the EIS/other EIS Update Documents; and
c) Approved Environmental Monitoring Plan in the EIS/other EIS Update Documents
