Scoping. Scoping under 197-11-408 WAC is required for the preparation of every new draft EIS (DEIS), but is optional at the direction of the responsible official for the preparation of a supplemental EIS (SEIS) or when adopting another environmental document as the EIS pursuant to Part Six of this Chapter.

A. Comment period for DS/scoping notice. If the responsible official issues the DS/scoping notice with a notice of application issued under the provisions of Chapter 20.210 VMC, Decision-Making Procedures, the comment period on the notice of application shall be no less than 14 days.

B. Expansion of scoping process. The responsible official may expand the scoping process to incorporate the provisions of 197-11-410 WAC, governing expanded scoping, where the responsible official determines that such expanded scoping is reasonably necessary to evaluate the potential adverse impacts and reasonable alternatives for a proposal.
