How to Get an ECC from DENR
The Department of Natural Resources (DENR), through its Environment Management Bureau (EMB) and local offices, is the lead agency that handles and implements the PEISS. All projects that pose some level of potential significant impact to the environment are required by the PEISS to secure an Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC). Otherwise, the project shall be issued a Certificate of Non-Coverage (CNC). The Environmental Impact Assessment and Management Division (EIAMD) of the EMB Central and Regional Offices is in-charge of processing applications for ECC and CNC as well as post-ECC monitoring.
