Significant Issues • Natural environment • Earth: Geology and soils • Water: Floods • Energy and Natural Resources: Scenic Resources • Built environment • Environmental health: Potential release of toxic or hazardous materials • Land and shoreline use: Relationship to existing land use plans and aesthetics • Transportation: Transportation systems, vehicular traffic, movement/circulation of people or goods, traffic hazards

  7. Phased ReviewWAC-197-11-060(5) • Focus on issues that are ready for decision and exclude from consideration issues already decided or not yet ready • When phased review is appropriate • Nonproject to project specific • Proposal being developed in clearly defined phases

  8. Phased Review (cont.)WAC 197-11-443 • A nonproject proposal may be approved based on an EIS assessing its broad impacts. • When a project is proposed that is consistent with the approved nonproject action, the EIS shall focus on the impacts and alternatives not analyzed in the nonproject EIS. • The scope shall be limited accordingly

  9. Proposed Phasing • Cover in detail in nonproject EIS • Scenic resources, aesthetics, transportation systems, vehicular traffic, movement/circulation of people or goods, traffic hazards, and relationship to existing land use plans • General analysis in nonproject EIS to be covered in detail in Supplemental EIS at project phase • Floods, geology and soils, potential release of toxic or hazardous materials
