ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST PURPOSE OF CHECKLIST The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), Revised Code of Washington (RCW) Chapter 43.21C, requires all governmental agencies to consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions. An environmental impact statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts :on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the:agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be done) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required. INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS This environmental checklist asks.you to describe some basic information about our proposal. Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most precise information known,, or give the best description you can.. You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know" or "does not apply." Complete answers to questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. .Some -questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can assist you. The checklist questions apply to all .parts of your .proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there maybe significant Adverse impact. USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NON -PROJECT PROPOSALS Complete this checklist for non-proj ect proposals, even though questions maybe answered "does not apply." In addition, complete the. Supplemental Sheet for Non -Project Actions. For non -project actions, the references in the checklist to the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site should be read as proposal,"" proposer, "affected .affected geographic area,"respectively.
