LLDA Clearance
An LLDA Clearance is a mandatory environmental permit issued by the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) for facilities and projects located within the Laguna de Bay region. This clearance ensures compliance with water quality standards, environmental protection regulations, and sustainable development requirements.
As a professional environmental consultant, we help businesses secure LLDA Clearance efficiently while ensuring full compliance with DENR and LLDA regulations.
