INTRODUCTION I.1 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 1996 the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (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
