LUCENA CITY – Municipal authorities in Infanta, Quezon have revoked the operating permits of five crushing facilities for alleged violations of environmental and permitting standards set by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).
The local government announced the permit cancellations Thursday, citing the facilities' failure to comply with DENR permitting requirements. The action targeted four stationary crushing plants and one mobile crusher operating within the municipality's jurisdiction.
Official details regarding the specific nature of the violations were not immediately detailed in the announcement. The move reflects intensified enforcement of environmental regulations governing mining and quarrying operations in the province.
The permit revocations underscore ongoing efforts by local government units across Quezon to align industrial operations with national environmental standards. Authorities have increasingly scrutinized crushing and quarrying facilities to ensure compliance with extraction and operational protocols established by environmental regulators.
