The question of whether an action may be significant is not always easy to answer. Frequently,there are aspects of a project that are subjective or unmeasurable. It is also understood that those who determine significance may have little or no formal knowledge of the environment or may not be technically expert in environmental analysis. In addition,many who have knowledge in one particular area may not be aware of the broader concerns affecting the question of significance. The lead agency must use the Full EAF for Type I actions and may use it for Unlisted actions. The Full EAF consists of three parts and when completed it will serve as the determination of significance: Part 1 -Is completed by the project sponsor. Part 1 provides basic information including a description of the proposed action,proposed site location and its environmental resources. The information provided in Part 1 is later used by the reviewing agency to complete Parts 2 and 3. The questions in Part 1 are grouped in sections A-G: • Section A gathers information that identifies the project sponsor, the proposed action,and the proposed action's location. Section B requests information about government approvals or funding. Section C requests information about planning,zoning and community services. Section A requests information about the proposed action. Section E requests information about resources on or adjacent to the proposed site. Section F provides the project sponsor the opportunity for supplying additional information including project elements that may avoid or reduce impacts. • Section G is where the certifying signature of the preparer is provided. Part 2-Is completed by the lead agency. Part 2 is designed to help the lead agency inventory all potential resources that could be affected by a proposed action and to determine the potential size of the impact by providing a series of questions that can be answered using the information found in Part 1. To further assist the lead agency in completing Part 2, the form identifies the most relevant questions in Part 1 that will provide the information needed to answer the Part 2 question. Part 2 is designed to help a reviewer identify any element of a proposed project that may have a potentially significant adverse impact on the environment. Part 3 -Is completed by the lead agency. Part 2 questions where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not, or may, result in a significant adverse environmental impact should be explored in a series of written,well reasoned statements-in Part 3. The discussion of impacts in Part 3 will serve as the supporting documentation for the determination of significance. Full Environmental Assessment Form Part I -Project and Setting Instructions for Completing Part I Part I is to be completed by the applicant or project sponsor. Responses become part of the application for approval or funding, are subject to public review,and may be subject to further verification. Complete Part I based on information currently available. If additional research or investigation would be needed to fully respond to any item,please answer as thoroughly as possible based on current information;indicate whether missing information does not exist, or is not reasonably available to the sponsor;and,when possible,generally describe work or studies which would be necessary to update or fully develop that information. Applicants/sponsors must complete all items in Sections A&B. In Sections C,D&E,most items contain an initial question that must be answered either"Yes"or"No". If the answer to the initial question is"Yes",complete the sub-questions that follow. If the answer to the initial question is"No",proceed to the next question. Section F allows the project sponsor to identify and attach any additional information. Section G requires the name and signature of the applicant or project sponsor to verify that the information contained in Part I is accurate and complete. A.Project and Applicant/Sponsor Information.

Part 2 is designed to help the lead agency inventory all potential resources that could be affected by a proposed project or action. We recognize that the lead agency's reviewer(s)will not necessarily be environmental professionals. So,the questions are designed to walk a reviewer through the assessment process by providing a series of questions that can be answered using the information found in Part 1. To further assist the lead agency in completing Part 2,the form identifies the most relevant questions in Part 1 that will provide the information needed to answer the Part 2 question. When Part 2 is completed,the lead agency will have identified the relevant environmental areas that may be impacted by the proposed activity. If the lead agency is a state agency and the action is in any Coastal Area,complete the Coastal Assessment Form before proceeding with this assessment. Tips for completing Part 2: • Review all of the information provided in Part 1. • Review any application,maps,supporting materials and the Full EAF Workbook. • Answer each of the 18 questions in Part 2. • If you answer"Yes"to a numbered question,please complete all the questions that follow in that section. • If you answer"No"to a numbered question,move on to the next numbered question. •. Check appropriate column to indicate the anticipated size of the impact. • Proposed projects that would exceed a numeric threshold contained in a question should result in the reviewing agency checking the box"Moderate to large impact may occur:" • The reviewer is not expected to be an expert in environmental analysis. • If you are not sure or undecided about the size of an impact,it may help to review the sub-questions for the general question and consult the workbook. • When answering a question consider all components of the proposed activity,that is,the"whole action". • Consider the possibility for long-term and cumulative impacts as well as direct impacts. • Answer the question in a reasonable manner considering the scale and context of the project. 1.
