City to stop illegal quarrying Dumaguete City officials are reportedly determined to stop small-scale illegal quarrying at the Banica River despite opposition from those who insist that the sand and gravel extraction is their only source of income. Earlier, officials of the city Environment and Natural Resources Office and the provincial Environment and Natural Resources Division of Negros Oriental met with residents to warn those engaged in illegal quarrying about possible arrest for violating the law. Dick Encabo of the ENRO said the city is also recommending that a joint resolution be passed by barangay councils of Taclobo, Batinguel and Bagacay to organize those engaged in small-scale quarrying into a legitimate association so they can apply for a permit from the provincial ENRD. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
