SEPA ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
Purpose of checklist:
Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal
are significant. This information is also helpful to determine if available avoidance, minimization or compensatory
mitigation measures will address the probable significant impacts or if an environmental impact statement will be
prepared to further analyze the proposal.
Instructions for applicants:
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Please answer each
question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may need to consult with an agency
specialist or private consultant for some questions. You may use “not applicable” or "does not apply" only when
you can explain why it does not apply and not when the answer is unknown. You may also attach or incorporate
by reference additional studies reports. Complete and accurate answers to these questions often avoid delays
with the SEPA process as well as later in the decision‐making process.
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 may be significant adverse impact.
Use of checklist for nonproject proposals:
For nonproject proposals (such as ordinances, regulations, plans and programs), complete the applicable parts of
sections A and B plus the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D). Please completely answer all
questions that apply and note that the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be read as
"proposal," "proponent," and "affected geographic area," respectively. The lead agency may exclude (for non‐
projects) questions in Part B ‐ Environmental Elements –that do not contribute meaningfully to the analysis of the
proposal.
