1. Any department receiving or initiating a proposal must prepare an environmental checklist. The Responsible Official will determine the lead agency in accord with WAC 197-11-050 and WAC 197-11-922 through WAC 197-11-940; unless the lead agency has been previously determined or he is aware that another agency is in the process of determining the lead agency.

2. If the City is the lead agency the department receiving or initiating .a proposal will forward the application to the Responsible Official who will make the threshold determination and, if an EIS is necessary, supervise its preparation.

3. If the City is not the lead agency, the department must use and consider the DNS or the final EIS of the lead agency in making decisions on its proposal. No department will prepare or require a DNS or EIS in addition to that prepared by the lead agency unless required by WAC 197-11-600. The City may conduct supplemental environmental review under WAC 197-11-600.

4. If the City receives a lead agency determination which appears inconsistent with WAC 197-11-922 through 197-11-940, it may object to the determination. The objection must be made to the agency originally making the determination. If not resolved within fifteen days, the Responsible Official may petition the Department of Ecology for a lead agency determination.

5. Departments may make agreements as to lead agency status or shared lead agency duties, but the Responsible Official and any affected department must approve the agreement.

6. Any department taking a license application must obtain sufficient information to identify other agencies which may have jurisdiction over the proposal.
