                    [Summary] => The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) is imposing an initial fine of P10.4 million against Australian mining company Lafayette Philippines Inc. for the twin mine spills in Rapu-rapu Island, Albay last October.


The fine, which is considered the biggest penalty so far imposed by the agency, is sanctioned under Republic Act 9725, also known as the Clean Water Act.


DENR Secretary Michael Defensor said the imposition of the maximum amount  for the violation "is solely for the purpose of deterring similar occurrence."
