INITIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EXAMINATION (IEE) CHECKLIST REPORT

For

Project name or Title

This IEE Checklist Report shall be used for proposed SUBDIVISION AND HOUSING PROJECTS
(i.e resettlement projects, economic and socialized housing project, open market housing) and
other similar (horizontal) land development projects to be located within Environmentally
Critical Areas (ECA).

For ECC applications, this IEE Checklist Report shall be submitted with:
Proof of Compatibility with the existing Land Use Plan
Proof of Authority over the Project Site
Accountability Statements of Proponent (see attached form) and the Preparer (if
any, following Annexes 2-22 of Revised Procedural Manual for DAO 2003-30)
Photographs or plates/vicinity map of the project site showing impact areas and
affected areas and communities
Duly Accomplished Project Environmental Monitoring & Audit Prioritization
Scheme (PEMAPS) Questionnaire (see Annex 2-7d of Revised Procedural Manual for DAO
2003-30)
(No other documents shall be required as pre-requisite to ECC applications per DENR MC 2010-14)

Read the questions carefully and write the required information on the blank spaces
provided or otherwise check (a) the appropriate boxes or parenthesis ( ). Boxes
with check marks(;) are automatically required. Use additional sheets if necessary
and indicate this in the appropriate space.

Project proponents are strongly discouraged to engage the services of

consultants/facilitators/preparers to accomplish/fill-up the IEE Checklist
Report Form. The Report Forms have been designed to be user-friendly.

Furthermore, EMB Regional Office is required to complete the processing of

an ECC application using the IEE Checklist Report within twenty (20) working
days upon receipt for duly-accomplished forms with complete attachments

Misleading or erroneous answers are basis for legal actions and/or denial of ECC
issuance.
