DPWH Chief Orders Strict Compliance with Laws, Policies for Safer and Disaster – Resilient Projects
By Nidz Godino
All Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) offices nationwide were instructed to reassess systems to ensure strict compliance of laws and policies relative to high-hazard areas, no build zones and national protected areas in implementation of infrastructure projects.
In a memorandum, DPWH Secretary Manuel Bonoan ordered all Service Directors, Bureau Directors, Project Directors, Regional Directors, and District Engineers to strictly adhere to laws, in view of the Department’s thrust to implement infrastructure projects that mitigate disaster risk.
“Implementing Offices are expected to be more cognizant of existing and imminent hazards that should be deliberately considered in all DPWH planning and construction activities,” said Secretary Bonoan.
Secretary Bonoan reiterated that DPWH offices shall first and foremost ensure projects are not located in geo-hazard areas and no build zones identified or certified by the Mines and Geo Sciences Bureau.
Standards of construction, rehabilitation, improvement or repair of all infrastructure projects in all areas and zones shall be consistent with rules determined by DPWH, considering among others, the structural strength and climate and disaster resilience required for infrastructure projects in all areas and zones.
DPWH shall also guarantee that all projects carried out within National Integrated Protected Area System are implemented in coordination with Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and in manner that eliminates or reduces risk of biodiversity loss.
Furthermore, ecosystem functions and services such as drainage, aquifer recharge, heat island effect, analysis of population dynamics which would engender requirements of solid waste and wastewater management, and need for softscape and vegetative cover shall be taken into consideration in all public infrastructure projects. These considerations shall be incorporated into project Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) and commitments to protect these services shall be included in project contracts.
Finally, a certificate of non-coverage or an Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) is required prior to commencement of government infrastructure projects covered by Philippine Environmental Impact Statement System.
