Environmental Checklist
The Environmental Checklist helps applicants describe a proposed project and its possible environmental effects for the agency reviewing the proposal.
What this form is
Applicants use this checklist to provide information about a proposal so governmental agencies can determine whether its environmental impacts may be significant and require an Environmental Impact Statement. It asks about the project, its location, permits, and potential effects on topics such as water, plants, animals, land use, noise, and transportation. The checklist applies to all parts of a proposal, including work planned in phases or on different parcels.
Who needs it
Applicants whose proposed projects are being reviewed by a governmental agency use the checklist to describe the proposal and its potential environmental effects.
How to submit it
Submit the completed checklist to the agency requesting it. The document says that agency may ask for explanations or additional information related to determining whether significant adverse impacts may occur.
