Revising the Environmental Checklist For Project Actions

Rulemaking efforts to revise the Environmental Checklist (WAC 197-11-960) for project actions have been halted. While Ecology will not be proceeding with rulemaking, a guidance document on completing the current checklist will be prepared.

Draft materials below were made available for review by the checklist advisory committee and public. The checklist advisory committee provided comments on the draft versions of the environmental checklist for project actions and companion guidance documents. Ecology worked with volunteers to test draft versions of the checklist. The versions tested and a report on testing are linked below.

The checklist is used to collect environmental information about a project and to analyze the environmental impacts prior to the permitting of the project.
