Wisconsin Administrative Code › Technical College System Board › Chapter TCS 12 - Wisconsin environmental policy act procedures › Section TCS 12.01 - Purpose

Current through June 24, 2024
The purpose of this chapter is to:
(1) Establish procedures for board
					consideration of short-term and long-term environmental and economic effects of
					board actions upon the human environment.
(2) Establish definitions and criteria to be
					used by the board for the implementation of s.
					1.11, Stats. Implementation
					includes the evaluation of proposed actions; the study, development and
					description of alternatives where proposed actions involve unresolved conflicts
					in the use of available resources; and the preparation and review of
					environmental impact statements (EIS's).
(3) Provide guidance to districts seeking
					permission to proceed with a proposed action, determine the applicable
					procedure affecting the board's review of a proposal, and establish a mechanism
					for early review of an applicant's proposal to determine the need for an
					EIS.
(4) Identify major actions
					significantly affecting the quality of human environment and the need for an
					EIS.
(5) Provide an opportunity for
					public input in the decision-making process.
Wisconsin Administrative Code › Technical College System Board › Chapter TCS 12 - Wisconsin environmental policy act procedures › Section TCS 12.02 - Definitions

Current through June 24, 2024
In this chapter:
(1)
					"Action" means any activity initiated by the board, or any activity subject to
					the regulation or approval of the board, which may affect the quality of the
					human environment.
(a) "Type I action" means a
					major action which significantly affects the quality of the human environment
					and requires the preparation of an environmental impact statement
					(EIS).
(b) "Type II action" means
					an action which may or may not significantly affect the quality of the human
					environment and requires the preparation of an environmental assessment (EA) to
					determine whether the action significantly affects the human environment and
					whether an EIS must be prepared.
(c) "Type III action" means an action which
					normally does not have the potential to cause significant environmental effects
					and normally does not involve unresolved conflicts in the use of available
					resources, and unless the board determines otherwise, an EA or EIS will not be
					prepared.
Wisconsin Administrative Code › Technical College System Board › Chapter TCS 12 - Wisconsin environmental policy act procedures › Section TCS 12.03 - Board action type list

Current through June 24, 2024
The board shall review its proposed action and determine what
						impact the proposed action will have on the quality of the human environment.
						The board has reviewed its actions and has categorized these actions into 3
						types as specified in Table  TCS 12.03. Table  TCS 12.03  shall be used to
						determine the category of the proposed action and the type of environmental
						analysis that is required.
(1) TYPE I
					ACTION. If it is determined from Table  TCS 12.03  that the proposed action is a
					type I action, an EIS shall be prepared. These are major board actions which
					would significantly affect the quality of the human environment.
(2) TYPE II ACTION. If it is determined from
					Table  TCS 12.03  that the proposed action is a type II action, an EA will be
					prepared. These actions have the potential to cause significant environmental
					effects and may involve unresolved conflicts in the use of available resources.
(a) If the EA discloses that the proposed
					action is a major action that will significantly affect the quality of the
					human environment, an EIS shall be prepared.
(b) If the board finds in the EA that the
					proposed action is not a major action that will significantly affect the
					quality of the human environment, the EA shall be filed in the office of the
					WEPA coordinator as a finding of no significant impact and shall be provided to
					interested parties upon request.
Wisconsin Administrative Code › Technical College System Board › Chapter TCS 12 - Wisconsin environmental policy act procedures › Section TCS 12.04 - Preparation of an environmental assessment

Current through June 24, 2024
(1) CONTENT. To
					determine whether a Type II action is major and significantly affects the
					quality of the natural and physical environment of human beings, and to
					describe the alternatives to the action, the board shall conduct an EA and
					shall prepare a reviewable record in the form of a concise report. The
					preparation shall be done as early as possible in the planning process, but, in
					any event, before contracts are let if the action involves construction by a
					district. The report shall include:
(a) A
					brief description of the proposed action, the purpose of the action, the need
					for the action, and maps, graphs and other materials where
					appropriate.
(b) A brief
					description of those factors in the human environment affected by the proposed
					action.
(c) A brief evaluation of
					the most significant primary and secondary environmental effects that would
					result if the proposal is implemented.
(d) A brief study developing and describing
					reasonable alternatives to the proposed action, including the alternative of no
					action, and a brief evaluation of the significant environmental effects that
					are different from the anticipated impacts of the proposed action.
(e) A listing of other agencies or groups
					contacted and the comments of, and other pertinent information from, the
					agencies and groups.
(f) An
					evaluation section which contains brief discussions of the specific factors in
					this paragraph. If the proposed action will lead to any of these results, the
					need to prepare an EIS is increased.
1.
					Irreversible environmental effects.
2. Stimulation of secondary (indirect)
					effects.
3. Creation of a new
					environmental effect.
4. Impacts on
					geographically scarce environmental features.
5. Precedent-setting nature of the
					action.
6. Significant controversy
					associated with the action.
7.
					Conflicts with official agency plans or local, regional, state or national
					policy.
8. Cumulative impacts of
					repeated actions of this type.
9.
					Irrevocable foreclosure of future options.
(g) A preliminary recommendation on the need
					for an EIS.
