Wash. Admin. Code § 197-11-545 - Effect of no comment
(1)
Consulted
agencies. If a consulted agency does not respond with written comments
within the time periods for commenting on environmental documents, the lead
agency may assume that the consulted agency has no information relating to the
potential impact of the proposal as it relates to the consulted agency's
jurisdiction or special expertise. Any consulted agency that fails to submit
substantive information to the lead agency in response to a draft EIS is
thereafter barred from alleging any defects in the lead agency's compliance with
Part Four of these rules.
(2)
Other agencies and the public. Lack of comment by other agencies or
members of the public on environmental documents, within the time periods
specified by these rules, shall be construed as lack of objection to the
environmental analysis, if the requirements of WAC
197-11-510 are met.
