Wash. Admin. Code § 197-11-510 - Public notice
(1) When these rules
require notice to be given under this section, the lead agency must use
reasonable methods to inform the public and other agencies that an environmental
document is being prepared or is available and that public hearing(s), if any,
will be held. The agency may use its existing notice procedures.
Examples of reasonable methods to inform the public are:
(a) Posting the property, for site-specific
proposals;
(b) Publishing notice in a
newspaper of general circulation in the county, city, or general area where the
proposal is located;
(c) Notifying
public or private groups with known interest in a certain proposal or in the type
of proposal being considered;
(d)
Notifying the news media;
(e) Placing
notices in appropriate regional, neighborhood, ethnic, or trade journals;
(f) Publishing notice in agency
newsletters and/or sending notice to agency mailing lists (either general lists
or lists for specific proposals or subject areas); and/or
(g) Mailing or e-mailing notice to any person,
group or agency who has requested notice.
(2) Each agency shall specify its method of
public notice in its SEPA procedures, WAC
197-11-904 and
197-11-906. If an agency does not
specify its method of public notice or does not adopt SEPA procedures, the agency
shall use methods (a) and (b) in subsection (1).
(3) Documents which are required to be sent to
the department of ecology under these rules will be published in the SEPA
register, which will also constitute a form of public notice. However,
publication in the SEPA register shall not, in itself, meet compliance with this
section.
