What is SEPA?
The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) provides a way to identify possible environmental impacts that may result from governmental decisions. These decisions may be related to issuing permits for private projects, constructing public facilities, or adopting regulations, policies or plans. Information provided during the SEPA review process helps agency decision makers, applicants, and the public understand how a proposal will affect the environment. This information can be used to change a proposal to reduce likely impacts. Learn more about SEPA here. To access the Washington Department of Ecology’s searchable database of SEPA documents, which includes the Port of Vancouver’s referenced documents, go to the Statewide SEPA Register.
