Community Plan Updates Environmental Review
Pierce County has issued a non-project
Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the
Community Plan Updates proposal and has
notified appropriate parties. There is no comment period on the FEIS. The FEIS may be appealed under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) as described below.
The FEIS is a disclosure document and does not authorize a specific action or alternative, nor does it recommend for or against a particular course of action; rather, the DEIS and FEIS will be used by the Pierce County Council when considering the Community Plan Updates proposal.
Pierce County issued a non-project
Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the Community Plan Updates on April 5, 2019 and
notified appropriate parties, pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). Comments received and copies of the DEIS and FEIS may be found through
Pierce County Online Permits under the Documents tab.
This FEIS and DEIS provide non-project-level environmental review of probable impacts and mitigation measures for the Community Plan Updates proposal and three other alternatives. Elements of the environment addressed in the DEIS and FEIS include land use, plans and policies, traffic and transportation, air quality, surface water, groundwater, flood areas, wetlands and shorelines, public services and utilities, human health and community well-being, housing, and climate change.
