TRIBAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT
ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
Title 19-01 of the Swinomish Tribal Code, Tribal Environmental Policy Act, (TEPA) requires that all actions
taken by or authorized under permits issued by the Tribe, unless exempt from such provisions, be
reviewed for potential environmental impacts. Accordingly, TEPA requires submission of an environmental
statement or checklist to provide information whereby the Tribe may identify, and where possible avoid,
the impacts of proposed actions and determine whether an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is
required. The checklist applies to all parts of a proposed action, even if planned over a period of time,
and should describe basic information about the proposal. A copy of the TEPA exemption list is available
from the Office of Planning and Community Development on request.
Fees: $100 for checklist review and publication of determination, due at time of application. An additional
$100 shall be paid if a site visit is required.
