The Sepa Process - The Washington State Environmental Policy Act

Evaluating Environmental Effects

At the Port of Vancouver, we believe that a strong economy and a healthy environment are vital to our region. Our mission is to provide our community with family-wage jobs through global trade and commerce, while being responsible stewards of the environment. We don't just talk about it. We're doing it - every day.

 We consider a healthy environment a sign of a healthy business. We carry this commitment to our environmental permitting and mitigation efforts as well -including the Washington State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) process.

What is SEPA?

The Washington State Environmental Policy Act provides a way to identify possible environmental impacts that may result from governmental decisions. These decisions may be related to issuing permits for private projects, constructing public facilities, or adopting regulations, policies or plans. Information provided during the SEPA review process helps agency decision makers, applicants, and the public understand how a proposal will affect the environment. This information can be used to change a proposal to reduce likely impacts.
