Summary of Major Findings for the Monitoring Period Condition/requirement/Commitment Compliance status and summary of actions taken Recommendation/commitment for the next reporting Compliance with ECC Mandated applicable and necessary ECC condition of the issued ECC is initial undertaken. The proponent is observant to the mandated condition of the issued ECC project operation.
- 2. Compliance with EMP One of the major EMP compliance is the allocation of funds to use during operation and for rehabilitation in terms of damage and impact of the project to the community. The allocated funds will be utilized for the rehabilitation and implementation of environmental enhancements mitigating measures in case of damage due to the project operation. Implementation of appropriate and effective environmental impact remedial actions in case of exceedances The proper benching and 3 meter buffer zone should be left undisturbed so as to avoid slope failures adjoining properties. During operation, the proponent is very observant about proper benching to avoid damage in riverbanks near the project area and buffer zone is strictly observed. Complaints Management Ever since the issuance of ECC and operation of project, there was no complaining lodge against the project. Since the operation of the Sand and Gravel Project there was no complaint. Realistic and sufficient budget for conducting the environmental monitoring and audit activities. Budget was allocated for the implementation of impact management plan. Budget was allocated for the operation of the project. If ever the funds will be depreciated, additional budget will be replenishing for improvement and management of the project. Accountability-qualified personnel are charged with the routine monitoring of the project activities in terms of education, training, knowledge and experience of the environment team.

Depth of extraction should not exceed by the allowed volume under permit issued. Must observe the excavation regulatory guide approved by the Provincial Engineers. Signboards and vertical pole markers should be posted on area boundaries visible to public. The given volume to be extract correlated on the estimated volume under the ECC. The allocated volume to be extracted last year is attended by the proponent, because of a big supply demand. 4.) Any land or structure disturb or damaged by such appropriately rehabilitated. An amount of (20,200) representing as Environmental Protection Enhancement Programmed (EPEP) funds should be set aside for this purpose and rehabilitation should be properly coordinated with Mines and Geoscience Bureau (MGB) if rehabilitation is needed. Since the operation, there were no damaged structures or facilities near the site. Buffer zone is observed seriously as well as the proper benching. The proponent has allocated the needed funds. This will be used for rehabilitation for damage structures cause by the project operation within the locality if there are any. 5.) Appropriate method should be affected to prevent situation of available flows, noise, oil and grease spillage, dust liberation and littering of materials during transport. During operation activities, that cause negative impact such as littering of material is prevented. The responsible person for the quarry operation is familiar with ECC condition and the implementation in safety measures on quarry operation. 6.) Along with the measure proposed in the EMP, the vegetative and structure measures outline in the proposed sited development plan shall be undertaken during and after project operation. As proposed, the funding source is the EPEP. A quarterly report the should submitted to update this office of this enhancement activities. Buffer zone and proper benching to prevent from failures were observed. Since the operation of the project is focus in the mountain, soil erosion is unlikely to happen. That is why proper benching is observing every end of the day operation. 7.) The proponent shall regularly report the CMR semi- annually.

- 6. B. IMPACT MONITORING The quarry operation only operates at daytime, no operation on Sunday. It only extracts the volume allocated by the permit issued of the Local Government and the DENR issued on May 11, 2017. To prevent slope failures of adjoining properties manual extraction of aggregate materials should be concentrated at the designated area with buffer zone of 3 meters from the riverbanks. There was no reported complaint against the project operation ever since it operated. Likewise, the project caused a positive effect in the socio-economic development in the locality by providing by providing livelihood to the residents and increasing the revenue collection due to the taxes paid by the proponent of the project. i. SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS MONITORING The preparation of the Compliance Monitoring Report is the first compliance report submitted by the proponent to the EMB-7 Region Office to update the office of management compliance and project operation in the project site allocated to the proponent. The project has been in compliance to the acquisition of permits and clearances from other concerned agencies prior to the project operations. ii. CURRENT MONITORING RESULT AND FINDINGS At present, the management is applying for the renewal of permit. In addition, there hasnt been any complaints against the projects operation.
