Description & Work Itinerary
This is an official notification to DOE about the proposed project. Also, it is a preliminary version of EIA in which it is required for DOE to determine whether the proposed scheduled waste recovery project is viable for the proposed site. If TOR were not accepted at this stage, EIA is needless.
The following general documentation will required for TOR evaluation at DOE :
Proof of Business Operation

- Key, location & site plans (Drawing).
- Proposed equipment & material arrangement layout, including elevation views (Drawing).
Document Submission
Those document outlined above (at B. Information/Document Required) has to be compiled and submitted to DOE Regional Office to study and evaluate. The outcome will determine whether the proposed project is feasible to be conducted at the proposed area/premise. If proposed project is NOT accepted, most likely the proposed location is not suitable, etc., then change of proposed location is required.
Site Visitation
If the proposed project is viable & accepted, TOR/EIA Officers will be coming to proposed premise for site evaluation and comments. Project owner(s) and appointed TOR/EIA consultant(s) have to be available to assist TOR/EIA Officers site visitation.
Duration: 1 day (normally)
TOR Clarification Meet
