For the guidance and compliance of all concerned, a clarification is hereby issued regarding DENR Memorandum Circular No. 14, Series of 1990, entitled "Additional Guidelines on the Renewal of Wood Processing Plant Permits."

While mini-sawmills are considered wood processing plants, they are allowed to process only logs coming from tree plantations and/or woodwastes/logging wastes as defined in MNR Administrative Order No. 50, Series of 1986, entitled, "Integrated regulations on the Establishment and Operations of Wood Processing Plants."

Adopted: 05 July 1991
