Environmental Checklist
Applicants complete an Environmental Checklist for each project alternative to identify potential impacts and describe relevant comments and information.
What this form is
The checklist records potential physical-environment and human-population impacts for each alternative, using categories such as no impact, potentially adverse, permits required, or mitigation required. The instructions say all applicants must submit a checklist and DNRC reviews it to determine whether more information is needed. For an adverse impact to the preferred alternative, applicants must also provide an alternatives analysis and describe mitigation measures.
Who needs it
Applicants preparing project alternatives must complete and submit a separate Environmental Checklist for each alternative.
How to submit it
The instructions say all applicants must submit the checklist and identify DNRC as the reviewer; they do not specify a submission address, email, portal, or fee.
About notarization
This checklist is signed without a notary; the instructions describe no notarized or sworn attachment, so the signer just signs and dates it.
