This includes PSPs issued by SRCAA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If no other permitting authority for your project has required that a SEPA checklist be submitted as part of an application, SRCAA will require the submittal of a checklist as part of your PSP application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/spokanecleanair.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Environmental-Checklist.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SEPA checklist<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please remember to fill out the whole checklist. Many times, \u201cnot applicable\u201d is an appropriate answer. The applicant should review all documents for previous projects at the site as SRCAA may be able to issue an addendum to an existing SEPA determination. If no previous determination can be found for your site and no other permitting agency issues a determination for your project SRCAA will review the submitted checklist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If SRCAA determines there are no discernable impacts from your project, SRCAA will issue a Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) for your project. If SRCAA issues a DNS, a SEPA fee ($500) will be invoiced when your PSP is issued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It should be noted that as part of issuance of a DNS, a 14-day public notice in the legal section of a local paper may be required and is paid by the applicant.
