Full text of Washington Revised Code of Washington § 47.01.290 — Environmental review of transportation projects., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.

§ 47.01.290. Environmental review of transportation projects.

The legislature recognizes that environmental review of transportation projects is a continuous process that should begin at the earliest stages of planning and continue through final project construction. Early and extensive involvement of the relevant environmental regulatory authorities is critical in order to avoid significant changes in substantially completed project design and engineering. It is the expectation of the legislature that if a comprehensive environmental approach is integrated throughout various transportation processes, onerous, duplicative, and time-consuming permit processes will be minimized.
[ 1994 c 258 s 3; 1993 c 55 s 1.]
