SEPA1 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.
Instructions for lead agencies
Please adjust the format of this template as needed. Additional information may be necessary to evaluate the
existing environment, all interrelated aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse impacts. The checklist
is considered the first but not necessarily the only source of information needed to make an adequate
threshold determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the lead agency is responsible for the
completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting documents.
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.
