•ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST FORM
Introduction: The State Environmental Policy Act of 1971, Chapter
43.21C, RCW, requires all state and local governmental agencies to
consider environmental values both for their own actions and when
licensing private proposals. The Act also requires that an EIS be
prepared for all major actions significantly affecting the quality
of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to help the
agencies involved to determine whether or not a proposal is such•a
major action.
Please answer the following questions as completely as you can with
the information presently available to you. Where explanations of
your answers are required, or where you believe an explanation would
be helpful to government decision makers, include your explanation
in the space provided, or use additional pages if necessary. You
should include references to any reports or studies of which you are
aware and which are relevant to the answers you provide. Complete
answers to those questions now will help all agencies involved with
your proposal to undertake the required environmental review without
unnecessary delay.
The following questions apply to your total proposal, not just to the
permit for which you are currently applying or the proposal for which
approval is sought. Your answers should include the impacts which
will be caused by your proposal when it is completed, even though
completion may not occur until some time in the future. This will
allow all of the agencies which will be involved to complete their
environmental review now, without duplicating paperwork in the future.
NOTE: This is a standard form being used by all state and local
agencies in the State of Washington for various types of proposals.
Many of the questions may not apply to your proposal. If.a question
does not apply, just answer it "not applicable" (n /a) and continue
on to the next question.

should include references to any reports or studies of which you are
aware and which are relevant to the answers you provide. Complete
answers to those questions now will help all agencies involved with
your proposal to undertake the required environmental review without
unnecessary delay.
The following questions apply to your total proposal, not just to the
permit for which you are currently applying or the proposal for which
approval is sought. Your answers should include the impacts which
will be caused by your proposal when it is completed, even though
completion may not occur until some time in the future. This will
allow all of the agencies which will be involved to complete their
environmental review now, without duplicating paperwork in the future.
NOTE: This is a standard form being used by all state and local
agencies in the State of Washington for various types of proposals.
Many of the questions may not apply to your proposal. If a question
does not apply, just answer it "not applicable" (n /a) and continue
on to the next question.
