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.
