ENVIRONMENTAL
CHECKLIST
Instructions:
The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) requires all governmental agencies to
consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions. The
purpose of this checklist is to provide information to hellp identify impacts from your
proposal, to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal if it can be done, and to help the
City decide whether an EIS is required. An environmental impact statement (EIS) must
be prepared for any proposal with probable significant adverse impacts on
environmental quality,
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your
proposal. The City will use this checklist to determine whether the environmental
impacts of your proposal are significant and require preparation of an EIS. You must
answer each question accurately, carefully and to the best of your knowledge. Answer
the questions briefly, but give the best description you can. In most cases, you should
be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the
need for 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 the questions
now may avoid delays later. If the space provided is too small, feel free to attach
additional sheets.
Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and
landmark designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems; the
city staff 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. You may be asked to
explain your answers or provide additional information for determining if there may be
significant adverse impacts.
Nonproject Proposals Only:
Complete both the checklist (even though many questions may be answered "does not
apply") and the Supplemental Sheet for Nonproject Actions (part ®). For nonproject
actions, the references in the checklist to the words "project," "applicant," and "property
or site" should be read as "proposal," "proposer," and "affected geographic area,"
respectively.
