WAC 197-11-500   Purpose of this part.  This part provides rules for:

     (1) Notice and public availability of environmental documents, especially environmental impact statements;

     (2) Consultation and comment by agencies and members of the public on environmental documents;

     (3) Public hearings and meetings; and

     (4) Lead agency response to comments and preparation of final environmental impact statements. Review, comment, and responsiveness to comments on a draft EIS are the focal point of the act's commenting process because the DEIS is developed as a result of scoping and serves as the basis for the final statement.
