A Davao City-based environmental group is advocating for a Quarrying Regulation Ordinance in response to recent illegal earthquake quarrying in Catalunan Grande. The proposed ordinance includes penalties for violators and stricter regulations for legal quarry operators.
A DAVAO City-based environmental group is advocating for the Quarrying Regulation Ordinance in response to recent illegal earthquake quarrying in Catalunan Grande .Enp. Lemuel Manalo, the program coordinator for Interfacing Development Interventions for Sustainability , informed SunStar Davao on Monday, September 23, 2024, that the proposed ordinance is currently undergoing committee hearings led by Councilor Temujin “Tek” Ocampo.
However, Manalo stressed that the permits for constructing the subdivision and the land quarrying but masquerading as land preparation are different. Monitoring earthfill quarrying has proven challenging, as some illegal operators claim they need to clear land for subdivision construction. Manalo clarified that permits for construction and land clearing are distinct, and unauthorized earth-fill quarrying is prohibited without proper permits due to its significant environmental risks.
