LIFTING OF THE BAN ON THE EXTRACTION OF SAND AND GRAVEL, QUARRYING AND OTHER RELATED SURFACE MINING ACTIVITIES ALONG BUED RIVER AND KENNON ROAD
imposed a ban on the extraction of sand and gravel, quarrying and other
related surface mining activities along Bued River and Kennon Road
particularly within the stretch covered by KM Post 241 (Camp 7, Baguio
City) and KM Post 222 (Camp 3, Tuba, Benguet);
WHEREAS, the July 16, 1990 earthquake and the succeeding typhoons
that hit the region devastated major portions of Kennon Road with
massive landslides resulting in the deposition of huge quantities of
rock boulders, sand and gravel along the road and Bued River;
WHEREAS, in order to facilitate the clearing of Kennon Road and
correspondingly the Bued River of the debris at the same time allow the
use of the material in the on-going reconstruction of Baguio City and
the adjoining areas damaged by the earthquake;
THEREFORE, it is hereby resolved that DENR Administrative Order No.
03, Series of 1989 be lifted until Kennon Road shall have been cleared
and totally repaired. The barring down of boulders and quarrying
activities, however, shall remain to be banned under this Order.
This Order takes effect immediately.
