II. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This section should include a summary of the major findings for the monitoring period. For example, a
statement that there were no major activities that influenced the monitoring parameters during the
monitoring period can be made if there were really no activities by the proponent that affected the
monitored parameters.

Compliance Status & Recommendation/Commitme
Condition / Requirement / Commitment
Summary of Actions taken nt for the next reporting
Compliance with ECC
Compliance with EMP
Implementation of appropriate & effective env’tal impact
remedial actions in case of exceedances
Complaints Management
Realistic and sufficient budget for conducting the
environmental monitoring and audit activities
Accountability - qualified personnel are charged with the
routine monitoring of the project activities in terms of
education, training, knowledge and experience of the
environmental team
Others . . .
III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
A. Compliance Monitoring
The status of compliance to the ECC conditionalities and the attainment of EMP commitments should be
elaborated in this section. Reasons for noncompliance or unmet commitment should be explained and
solutions and measures to attain full compliance of ECC terms and conditions as well as satisfactory
attainment of EMP commitments should be discussed as renewed efforts for the next monitoring period.
Table 1 may be used to summarize the status of compliance.

B. Impact Monitoring
This section shall contain relevant graphical presentation of quantitative and semi-quantitative impact
monitoring results showing trends, comparing past monitoring results with the current. Relevant
monitoring results in the other SMR modules shall be referred to. The latest monitoring findings and
conclusion should be discussed in text form.
Qualitative impact monitoring results may be presented in text form or in terms of pictorial coverage, if
applicable. Examples of qualitative impacts are those relating to quality of life, degree of happiness, and
sense of environmental cleanliness.
i. Summary of Previous Monitoring
The key findings, recommendations, and action plan from the previous monitoring and outstanding
issues from earlier monitoring periods (if applicable) should be highlighted in this section.
ii. Current Monitoring Results and Findings
The data collected and related expenses from the various sampling and measurement events done
under the Environmental Monitoring Plan (EMoP) or a Sampling and Measurement Plan (SAMP) for the
current monitoring period shall be summarized in a tabular form, preferably using the prescribed format in
Tables 2 and 3 below, and discussed under this section. Only processed and summarized data must be
presented here.
The current monitoring results must be related to the historical trend for each parameter. Any deviation
from this trend must be explained. More, importantly, the discussion must focus on point-by-point
comparison of the gathered values with Environmental Quality Performance Levels (EQPLs), if EQPLs
have been committed by the Proponent or established with the Multi-partite Monitoring Team. The
monitoring results could also be used to determine the action and limit levels for the specific project.
These should all be presented here in detail and summarized in the conclusions and recommendations
section.
ANNEX 3-1
Compliances, non-compliances and exceedances must all be thoroughly explained. In cases of
compliances, success factors must be cited. For non-compliances and exceedances, the proponent’s
response should be explained. Moreover, causative factors must be identified and additional solutions
and mitigation measures proposed, if needed.
It should also cite the weather conditions and other factors which may affect the results of the sampling
activities.
The status of compliance to recommendations from previous monitoring and measures included in the
action plan should be described and any unmet commitment must be rationalized and alternative, if
needed, presented.

limit level, or to reduce deterioration of affected environmental component to pre-impact or optimum environmental
quality
o Limit Level-regulated threshold of pollutant (standard that must not be exceeded); point where emergency response
measures must be employed to reduce pollutants to lower than standard limit.
o NOTE: Section on EQPLs may be filled out as a Proponent’s draft commitment or after these have been
established and mutually agreed upon among Proponent, EMB and other MMT members. Otherwise, only the
LIMIT Level shall be the reference for regulatory compliance. This means that environmental management
measures are formulated at the “ACTION level” so as not to exceed this regulated threshold.

IV. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This section should present the conclusions and recommendations of the current SMR based on the
results and discussion of the previous sections. It should also explain if the previous monitoring
recommendations should continue (if implemented). On the other hand, if warranted, the
recommendation may be the cessation of specific or all monitoring activities.
ANNEX 3-1
The conclusions and recommendations should preferably be in a bulleted format and as much as
possible grouped according to coherent themes, such as the following headings.
A. Compliance Status
Only the key conclusions about the status of compliance to ECC and EMP are included in this
section. The status of non-compliances should be particularly tracked throughout all SMRs even if
compliance has been already attained. Recommended additional measures or amendments to the
EMP should be presented here.
B. Environmental Quality Status (applicable only if EQPLs have been set by the Proponent as its
commitment or if opted to be mutually agreed upon by Proponent with the EMB and other members
of the MMT)
Only the key conclusions on meeting the set EQPLs are included in this section.
C. Environmental Management Plan Status
Only the key conclusions about the status of EMP implementation and recommended additional
measures or amendments should be presented here.
D. ENVIRONMENTAL RISK CATEGORIZATION
The proponent should fill-up or update the project’s environmental risk categorization questionnaire
(presented in Annex 2-7d of the Revised Procedural Manual of DAO 2003-30) – applicable on the
Second Semi-annual ECC Compliance Monitoring Report.
E. WORK PLAN FOR NEXT MONITORING PERIOD
The specific actions for the next monitoring period, including carry-overs from previous monitoring
periods, should be detailed in this section.
V. ATTACHMENTS
Please have the following documents attached:
a) Laboratory Results of Analysis from DENR-EMB recognized laboratory;
