Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) The
		  SEPA process shall be integrated with agency activities following and according

		  that planning and decisions reflect environmental values, to avoid delays later
		  in the process, and to seek to resolve potential problems.
(2) Additional timing considerations.
(a) Agency staff receiving an application
		  will forward it to the responsible official who will determine whether the
		  proposal is an "action" and, if so, whether another agency is the lead agency
		  for the proposal. If not, the responsible official will determine if the action
		  is "categorically exempt" from SEPA. If the proposal is an "action" and is not
		  exempt, the responsible official will ask the applicant to complete an
		  environmental checklist. A new checklist is not needed if the responsible
		  official and applicant agree that an EIS is required, SEPA compliance has been
		  completed, SEPA compliance has been initiated by another agency, or a complete
		  checklist is included with the application.
(b) Notwithstanding the guidance and
		  requirements of WAC
		  197-11-922 through
		  197-11-948, if the agency is
		  presented with an application to undertake a project generally falling under
		  the jurisdiction and/or environmental expertise of another state or local
		  agency, staff will direct the applicant to initiate SEPA with the appropriate
		  agency before it considers the action being requested by the
		  applicant.
(c) Agency staff and
		  applicants may hold preliminary discussions or exploration of ideas and options
		  prior to commencing formal environmental review, under provisions of this
		  chapter and chapter 197-11 WAC, subject to
		  RCW
		   42.36.060.
