ENV ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
Planning Division
1055 South Grady Way-Renton, WA 98057
Phone: 425-430-7200 | www.rentonwa.gov
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: 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 (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 a," 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.
