8.20.020 - Preparation of EIS—Additional considerations.
(a)
Preparation or draft and final EISs (DEIS and FEIS) and draft and final supplemental EISs (SEIS) is the responsibility of the responsible official. Before the county issues an EIS, the responsible official shall be satisfied that it complies with Chapters 8.04 through 8.40 and Chapter 197-11 WAC.
(b)
The DEIS and FEIS or draft and final SEIS shall be prepared by county staff, the applicant, or by a consultant selected by the county or the applicant. If the responsible official requires an EIS for a proposal and determines that someone other than the county will prepare the EIS, the responsible official shall notify the applicant immediately after completion of the threshold determination. The responsible official shall also notify the applicant immediately after completion of the threshold determination. The responsible official shall also notify the applicant of the county's procedure for EIS preparation, including approval of the DEIS and FEIS prior to distribution.
(c)
The county may require an applicant to provide information the county does not possess, including specific investigations. However, the applicant is not required to supply information that is not required under Chapters 8.04 thorough 8.40 or that is being requested from another agency. (This does not apply to information the county may request under another ordinance or statues.) [Statutory Authority: RCW 43.21C.130. 84-13.036 (Order DE 84-25), § 173-806-120, filed 6/15/84.
