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.

Obstacles/concerns on the implementation or
management of concerning agencies
• Small – Medium industries perceive that cost of
compliance is expensive
• In some cases, political will
• Provision of sufficient resources to implement
air/water quality management programs
• Enforcement of regulations
Republic of the Philippines

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 selfregulation among establishments for improved
environmental performance by encouraging pollution
reduction beyond compliance through public recognition
and praise and creating incentives for dischargers and
producers.
Maraming Salamat po at Mabuhay!
