Information for this PM should be compiled during the year and entered into the EIP Database by the implementing entity’s reporting manager by December 31st of that year. EIP managers will start compiling reported data in October and will continue through December each year. Any information reported after December 31st will not be included in that year’s reporting totals. Projects that have received construction permits or undergone intermediate inspections should be entered into the EIP database as ‘in-progress’ projects with expected PMs.
