Wash. Admin. Code § 374-100-070 - Timing of the SEPA process
(1) As
provided by WAC
197-11-055, the SEPA process
shall be completed before the pollution liability insurance agency is
irrevocably committed to a particular course of action. At the same time, the
SEPA process should not be undertaken until a proposal is sufficiently definite
to permit meaningful environmental analysis.
(2) When PLIA receives an application or
proposal, the agency shall determine whether PLIA's SEPA action is
"categorically exempt" or statutorily exempt from SEPA. If exempt, and WAC
197-11-305 does not remove categorical exempt status, PLIA has no further
obligation under SEPA.
(3) The
threshold determination and any required environmental impact statement (EIS)
for PLIA nonproject actions shall be completed prior to official adoption of
the action in question.
(4) The
threshold determination and any required EIS for issuance of a loan or grant
under PLIA's underground storage tank loan and grant program shall be completed
prior to issuance of the loan or grant in question. Applicants shall provide
all environmental and design information necessary to prepare the appropriate
environmental document.
(5) The
threshold determination and any required EIS for PLIA actions of a project
nature shall in all cases be completed prior to the approval of the location or
design of the project in question. Where the project involves remedial actions
under the Model Toxics Control Act conducted a potentially liable person under
an order or consent decree, the timing and review requirements of WAC
197-11-250 through 197-11-268 will govern as appropriate.
