I. INTRODUCTION
A. Background 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 11 February 2004, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and
the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) signed the Implementing Rules and
Regulations (IRR) prescribing the procedures and guidelines for the operationalization of the
Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) executed by and between the DENR and PEZA which
was signed by both parties on 25 August 1999. Section 3, Rule 6 of the said IRR, provides
that a supplemental guidelines such as IEE Checklist for non-environmentally critical projects
(non-ECPs) to be located within an ecozone. As such, this checklist, which is defined as a
simplified form of the IEE Report, was developed by PEZA and EMB to further assist the
economic zone locator enterprises in ensuring that environmental considerations are
incorporated in project development.
B. Objectives of this Guide Pollution Control Officers (PCOs) and Environment Officers (Eos) are encouraged to prepare
the IEE Checklist. This guide is intended to aid the PCOs and Eos to prepare their own
applications for securing the Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC).
IEE Checklist for Economic Zone Enterprises iii Version 3.0 22September 2004 IEE CHECKLIST_peza.doc
II. SCOPE OF THE CHECKLIST This checklist is applicable to ECC applications of PEZA-economic zone enterprises proposing to undertake non-environmentally critical projects (non-ECPs). The following projects with the corresponding PSIC code is covered by this Checklist:
PSIC INDUSTRY CLASS Division Code
Air Transport I 62 Basic Metals D 27 Chemicals and Chemical Products D 24 Computer and Related Activities D 30 Construction F 45 Electrical Machinery and Apparatus, N.E.C. D 31 Electricity, Gas, Steam and Hot Water Supply E 40 Fabricated Metal Products, Except Machinery and Equipment D 28 Food Products and Beverages D 15 Furniture D 36 Leather, Luggage, Handbags and Footwear D 19 Machinery and Equipment, N.E.C. D 29 Manufacturing, N.E.C. D 39 Medical, Precision and Optical Instruments, Watches and Clocks D 33 Miscellaneous Business Activities K 74 Motor Vehicles, Trailers and Semi-Trailers D 34 Office, Accounting and Computing Machinery D 30 Other Non-Metallic Mineral Products D 26 Other Service Activities O 93 Other Transport Equipment D 35 Paper and Paper Products D 21 Private Education Services M 81 Publishing, Printing and Reproduction of Recorded Media D 22 Radio, Television and Communication Equipment and Apparatus D 32 Recycling D 37 Rubber and Plastic Products D 25 Textiles D 17 Tobacco Products D 16 Water Transport I 61 Wearing Apparel D 18 Wood, Wood Products and Cork, Except Furniture D 20
The submission of an IEE Checklist, however, does not preclude the DENR-EMB Regional Director from further requiring the proponent to submit an IEE/EIS if necessary. The RD may eventually require the proponent to submit an IEE/EIS if the proposed project has high potential to cause significant negative environmental impact/s or is of such scale and magnitude that IEE/EIS becomes more appropriate document to submit.

III. INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION OF THE IEE
CHECKLIST This section guides the project proponent on how to answer the checklist. It also directs the proponent to submit the IEE Checklist initially at PEZA for procedural review and then to the DENR-EMB for substantive review.
A. Contents of the IEE Checklist
The IEE Checklist consists of a series of questions related to the operation of the project and its corresponding impact to the environment. It serves as a planning tool for the proponent to determine water quality, air quality, solid and hazardous waste management issues that needs to be addressed during all stages of project implementation. The information contained herein will serve as basis for the DENR-EMB’s issuance or denial of the Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC).
The IEE Checklist is divided into eight (8) major sections:
1. General Information presents the project title, name and address of project proponent, proponent's contact person and the location of the project; 2. Project Description presents the plan/design components and activities during all phases of the project, from construction to abandonment;
3. Impact Assessment and Mitigation describes the possible impacts that may occur during project development and the corresponding mitigating and enhancement measures to prevent and/or minimize the adverse effects of the project; 4. Environmental Management Program summarizes the mitigation, compensation, contingency and monitoring measures to enhance positive impacts and minimize negative impacts of the proposed project;
5. Environmental Monitoring Plan summarizes the monitoring program detailing the parameters, location of sampling stations, frequency, etc.
6. Proponent’s Commitment specifies the duties and responsibilities of the economic zone locator enterprise related to the management of the environment
7. Attachments refers to the checklist of documents that the proponent should attach to the IEE Checklist
8. Accountability Statement of the Proponent and Preparer* *if the PCO or representative of the company prepared the IEE report, the accountability statement of the Preparer is no longer necessary
IEE Checklist for Economic Zone Enterprises v Version 3.0 22September 2004 IEE CHECKLIST_peza.doc
B. Instructions on the Preparation of the IEE Checklist 1. The IEE Checklist can be prepared by the proponent or any of his/her authorized
representative(s). 2. The proponent places a check mark (�) in the appropriate box. If the 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. If some questions are not applicable to your project, write N/A on the blank space or column.
3. Refer to Section 3.0 of the checklist, the Impact Assessment and Mitigation specified
in the section shall serve as guide for the economic zone locator enterprise. The proponent may check applicable measures, however, additional impacts and mitigation/enhancement measures should also be added if it is not in the list.
4. Refer to Section 4.0 of the checklist, the proponent enumerates all works to be
undertaken for each phase of the project. For each stated activity in column 1, the proponent identifies the potential environmental impact (column 2), the mitigating & enhancement measures (column 3), the estimated cost of proposed mitigating measures (column 4) and the person or unit who will implement the plan.
5. Refer to Section 5.0 of the checklist, the proponent should identify the programs
related to the management of the following aspects: • Water quality • Air quality • Toxic substances and hazardous waste • Solid waste
For column 2, identify the location where the sampling for the parameters indicated in column 3 shall be conducted. The frequency of sampling and subsequent analysis shall be indicated in column 3. Indicate in column 4 if the PCO or other personnel shall be in charge of the monitoring.
C. Instructions on the Submission and Processing of the IEE Checklist
The process flow for the application and the responsibilities of the proponent, PEZA-ESG and the DENR-EMB during the ECC application process is summarized below: Proponent
