Board Resolution No. 286, Series of 2006

 

 

ADOPTING THE RECKONING PERIOD FOR IMPOSITION OF ADMINISTRATIVE FINE FOR OPERATING WITHOUT VALID LLDA CLEARANCE AND DISCHARGE PERMIT

 Preamble

 

WHEREAS, Section 39-A of Republic Act No. 4850 as amended, and Board Resolution No. 192, Series of 2006 approving the Revised Rules, Regulations, and Procedures Implementing aforestated Charter of the LLDA, provide that any person, natural or juridical, who shall violate any of the provisions of the aforementioned law, rules and regulations promulgated by the Laguna Lake Development Authority, shall be liable to an administrative fine not exceeding Five Thousand Pesos (PhP5,000.00);

           WHEREAS, for violation of the requirement to secure a valid LLDA Clearance (LC) prior to undertaking any development activity within the Laguna de Bay Region, and a valid Discharge Permit from the Authority before discharging in any manner, liquid waste into the lake region, there is a need to rationalize the reckoning period where such clearance and permit are applicable. 

NOW, THEREFORE, foregoing premises considered, BE IT RESOLVED, as it is hereby RESOLVED, the administrative fine of PhP5,000.00 per year without a valid LLDA Clearance and Discharge Permit  shall be imposed to be reckoned from the original date when the entity/ establishment initiated its operation.  For DP, the reckoning period shall not be earlier than 1997 when the aforestated permit was first required by LLDA pursuant to Board Resolution No. 25, Series of 1996 adopting the Environmental User Fee System for the Laguna de Bay Region, among others, and its Implementing Rules and Regulations under Board Resolution No. 41, Series of 1997. 

          RESOLVED, FURTHER, that in the afore-cited cases, the imposition of administrative fine does not preclude the Authority from issuing any order or from instituting appropriate civil or criminal action in court as the circumstances may warrant. 

          RESOLVED, FINALLY, that this Resolution shall take effect fifteen (15) days upon publication in a newspaper of general circulation and shall remain in force and effect unless otherwise revoked or amended.

          APPROVED on 24 August 2006.
