I. INTRODUCTION

The Philippine Environmental Impact Statement System was formally established by virtue of

Presidential Decree 1586. It requires the submission of Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) for

environmentally critical projects and Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) for projects which are

located in environmentally critically areas as provided in its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR)

and Presidential Proclamation No. 2146, series of 1981.

In 1996 DENR issued Department Administrative Order 37 (DAO 96-37) to further strengthen the EIS

System. DAO 96-37 Article III, Section 9.0 (Contents of the EIS) provides that “Some or all of the

foregoing items may, when appropriate, be presented in a format using the checklist approach.”

Pursuant to DAO 96-37, Memorandum Circular Number 4, Series of 1998 was issued by the

Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) to simplify the system. MC 98-4 (Annex 1) defined the IEE

Checklist as a simplified form in lieu of the standard EIS document. It provides a list of projects with

IEE checklists, the format and contents of the IEE Checklist and implementing guidelines.

To further assist development of projects in ECAs while ensuring that environmental requirements are

incorporated in project development, MC 3 Series of 2001 (Annex 2) by EMB presents an additional list

of projects with IEE Checklists and refines the implementing guidelines for the preparation and

submission of IEE Checklists.

B. Contents of this Guide

This guide is produced to aid the proponent in preparing and submitting an IEE Checklist to secure an

Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) for a project located in ECAs.

III. INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION OF THE IEE

CHECKLIST

This section guides the project proponent on how to fill-up and answer the various questions and

information stated in the checklist. This section also informs the project proponent on permit

requirements that need to be attached to the Checklist. Likewise, it directs the proponent where to submit

the IEE Checklist and apply for an ECC, the system and timeframe for DENR processing.

A. Contents of the IEE Checklist

The IEE Checklist is a simplified form designed to assist proponents' of selected projects in complying

with the EIS system. The IEE Checklist, to be accomplished and submitted before undertaking a project,

consists of a series of questions that deals with issues and concerns about the proposed project and its

environment. The questions will also provide the proponents with information on environmental impacts,

both positive and negative, which will be caused by the proposed project. The IEE Checklist has to be

submitted by all government and private sector proponents applying for an ECC covering the

abovementioned projects. The information contained herein will serve as basis for EMB to make decision

on the application for ECC.

The IEE Checklist is divided into five (5) major sections:

Section 1. Required Information - consist of the attachments required to be submitted as part of the IEE Checklist

Section 2. General Information – presents the project title, name and address of the project proponent, proponent's contact person and the location of the project;

Section 3. Project Description- presents the plan/design components and activities during the construction and operation phases of the project;

Section 4. Description of Project Surroundings - describes the existing physical, biological and socio-economic conditions where the project will be located;


Section 5: Predicted and Assessed Impacts and Proposed Mitigation Measures –describes the possible impacts that are likely to occur in various stages of the project development and the corresponding mitigation and enhancement measures to prevent and/or minimize the occurrence of adverse impacts and strengthen the positive effects of the project;

B. Instructions on the Preparation of the IEE Checklist

1. For the Section 1:Required Information, write a check mark () on the title or description of the document to be submitted. The listed documents are MUST requirements and should be submitted. Otherwise, the application will not be accepted.

2. The IEE Checklist can be prepared by the proponent or any of his/her authorized representative per EMB Memorandum Circular No. 04, Series of 1998 (17 August 1998). The proponent's signature in the report shall be sufficient. The proponent may seek the help of the DENR personnel by clarifying questions in the IEE Checklist.

3. To use the Checklist, the proponent may put a check () mark in the appropriate box. If your answer does not fall in any of the pre-determined responses, check () OTHERS and indicate your specific answer in the blank space provided or use additional sheets as necessary. If some questions are not applicable to your project, write N/A on the blank space or column.

4. To facilitate and assist the proponent in answering Section 5 of this checklist, a menu is provided to serve as guide and reference. However, it should be noted that this only serves as a menu checklist hence, the proponent is highly encouraged to identify additional impacts and mitigation/enhancement measures other than those provided.

The proponent may put a check () to the columns of Y or N on the pre-determined and identified Mitigation/Enhancement measures column. The proponent may choose the mitigating measures appropriate to the impacts identified for the proposed project. He/She may write clarificatory words/phrases in the column of REMARKS.

5. Answers to the questions are not be strictly confined to the pre-determined responses. The proponent may elaborate and use as many additional sheets as needed to be able to provide adequate answers to the required information. Maps, pictures, drawings (e.g. charts, tables, diagrams, sketches) and other visual aids are deemed to provide better description of the information provided in the Checklist. These will help EMB in understanding the proposed project, and make decision on the application for ECC.

C. Instructions on the Submission of the IEE Checklist

1. Upon completion of the IEE checklist, the project proponent shall submit one (1) set of the Checklist at the EIA Section of the EMB Regional Office where the project is to be located. A duly accomplished Procedural Screening Form shall accompany the IEE Checklist submission.

2. Upon the presentation/submission of the Checklist, the Screening Officer shall immediately determine its completeness and conformance with the DENR prescribed requirements. Immediate determination shall mean completion of the Procedural Review within the same day of IEE checklist submission.


3. The Screening Officer shall indicate, through a check/tick mark under the Yes, No or Not Applicable column, the presence or absence of a particular information required.

4. The determination of the completeness of the IEE Checklist will be based on the sufficiency of responses to all questions or checklist and information provided in the matrix.

5. If the IEE Checklist is complete, it will be formally accepted. The proponent will be furnished a copy of the accomplished procedural form duly signed by the Screening Officer.

6. If the Checklist is incomplete, it shall be immediately returned to the proponent for revision or submission of the missing requirement/information. The reason for non-acceptance shall be stated in writing at the appropriate place in the form.

7. If the IEE Checklist has complied with all the DENR prescribed requirements, the proponent shall submit 3 copies of the documents to EIA Section of the concerned EMB Regional Office.

The proponent shall pay the amount of P3,000.00 at the Cashier Section of concerned EMB Regional Office upon submitting the required number of copies at the Record Section of the same office.

8. All IEE Checklist not following the said standard procedures shall not be considered as valid applications and therefore, shall not be used as a basis for recommendation on the issuance or denial of the ECC.

9. The project proponent or his duly recognized representative shall be the one who will follow-up the said application to the respective EMB Regional Office. The processing time including the issuance and/or denial of the ECC will take a maximum of 30 days.

10. The EIA Section of EMB Regional Office, in the course of substantial review, may conduct site visit or ocular inspection in coordination with the project proponent

11. If the EMB finds that the IEE Checklist has substantially addressed all the significant impacts and relevant issues by way of mitigation and enhancement measures, it shall recommend the issuance of the ECC. The EMB Regional Office may call for a technical conference to explain to the project proponent the relevance of the ECC and the various conditions stated therein for compliance by the project proponent.
