It is closely patterned after the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), which was effective January 1, 1970. WEPA requires that all state agencies prepare environmental impact statements (EIS) with every recommendation or report on proposals for legislation and other major activities \u201c<em>significantly affecting the human environment<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition, WEPA requires state agencies to study, develop and describe alternatives when a particular course of action involves unresolved conflicts in the use of available resources. In accordance with WEPA and the regulations of the Federal Council on Environmental Quality, the UW System has developed an <strong>Action Type List<\/strong> to assist in determining the need for an environmental impact statement. The list consists of three classifications that follow&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>WEPA Type I:<\/strong> Those actions which require an <strong>Environmental Impact Statement<\/strong> (EIS)<\/li>\n<li><strong>WEPA Type II:<\/strong> Those actions which may or may not require an EIA but must be evaluated by completing an <strong>Environmental Impact Assessment<\/strong> (EIA)<\/li>\n<li><strong>WEPA Type III:<\/strong> Actions which do not require an EIS or EIA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One of the various functions in the Capital Planning and Budget office is the role of the UW System Environmental Affairs Officer.

CPB staff will assist the institution in determining whether the project is one that \u201c<em>significantly affects the quality of the human environment,<\/em>\u201d and whether an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is required. The following criteria for assessing environmental significance will be applied:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Irreversibility of Environmental Effects:<\/strong>\u00a0 If the action creates an effect upon the environment that is essentially irreversible, the need for an EIS is usually greater than if the effect could be reversed.<\/li><li><strong>Stimulation of Secondary Effects:<\/strong>\u00a0 If the action itself has minimal or no direct effects but its nature is to stimulate or induce significant secondary effects, such as major new developments, the need for an EIS is increased.<\/li><li><strong>Creating a New Environmental Effect:<\/strong>\u00a0 If the action involves building a new space as compared to renewing existing space, the need for an EIS is increased.<\/li><li><strong>Geographical Importance or Scarcity of the Resources:<\/strong>\u00a0 Certain resources are unequally distributed across the state. Actions affecting resources that are abundant statewide but locally scarce or important may require an EIS. Actions affecting resources that are locally abundant but scarce statewide or of special importance may also be significant enough to require an EIS.<\/li><li><strong>Cumulative Impacts:<\/strong>\u00a0 When an action sets a precedent for future actions or represents a decision in principle about a future major course of action, the cumulative effects should be considered when determining whether an EIS is required.<\/li><li><strong>Public and Citizen Complaints:<\/strong>\u00a0 The need for an EIS is greater if legitimate citizen concerns indicate a serious controversy to which the agency cannot adequately respond without researching the issue and presenting the results through the EIS process.<\/li><li><strong>Reasonable Alternatives:<\/strong>\u00a0 Both the National and Wisconsin Environmental Policy Acts (NEPA and WEPA) require the consideration of alternatives to the recommended action. Consideration should include alternatives that might not be within agency jurisdiction. Where such alternatives will result in substantial utilization of resources, an EIS should be prepared.<\/li><li><strong>Disruption of Program Development or Inconsistency with Long-Range Plans or Goals:<\/strong>\u00a0 If the proposed action is in conflict with official agency plans or plans of other governmental agencies, then an EIS may be required.<\/li><li><strong>Inconsistency with any National or State Policy Relating to the Environment:<\/strong>\u00a0 A proposed action that conflicts with established environmental policies should require an EIS.<\/li><li><strong>Premature or Irrevocable Foreclosure of Possible Future Options:<\/strong>\u00a0 Where a proposal limits future courses of action, the need for an EIS is increased.<\/li><li><strong>Technological Development:<\/strong>\u00a0 Agencies that engage in major technological development programs having the potential for environmental impact should anticipate the need for compliance with WEPA. Assessments must be written late enough in the development process to contain meaningful information, but early enough so that this information can practically serve as input in the decision-making process. The assessment should be periodically reconsidered and any assessment or impact statement must be prepared before technological development activities have reached a stage of investment or commitment to implementation likely to determine subsequent development or restrict future viable alternatives.<\/li><\/ul><h3>Initial Screening for Types II and III Actions<\/h3><p>The following procedures apply:<\/p><ul><li>Where the action is within the \u201cType III\u201d category, as determined by reference to the UW System action type list, the institution will maintain the capability of responding to queries as to the reasons it believes that an environmental impact statement is unnecessary. UWSA will maintain a list of all Type III actions to monitor compliance with the Type Action list and institutional activities.<\/li><li>For actions in the \u201cType II\u201d category, a draft Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), containing a succinct, comprehensive assessment of the proposal and a preliminary recommendation of the need for an environmental impact statement, shall be prepared. In the case for new buildings or building additions, a detailed EIA should be completed to fully examine the need to complete a full EIS. Refer to the EIA Services Request template.<\/li><li>Under Wis. Stat. \u00a71.11(2)(e) the UW has an obligation to study, develop and describe appropriate alternatives to recommend courses of action in any proposal that involves unresolved conflicts concerning the alternative uses of available resources. In accordance with this requirement, when it is determined that there are unresolved conflicts concerning alternative uses of available resources in a proposed Type II or Type III action, the UW System will study, develop and thoroughly describe appropriate alternatives, including the \u201cno action\u201d alternative. This study will be in writing. If the proposed action is a Type II action, the EIA will be deemed to satisfy this requirement.<\/li><li>The institutions shall maintain updated mailing lists of individuals, organizations and agencies that have requested notification of environmental assessments.<\/li><li>For purposes of this requirement, a proposed action involves unresolved conflicts concerning alternative uses of available resources when:<ul><li>The proposed action may reasonably be expected to materially use or affect a resource, temporarily or permanently; and<\/li><li>The resource is reasonably suited to one or more other uses; and<\/li><li>There is a discernible conflict, competition, difference or incompatibility between the use to be made of the resource by the proposed action and another use, including the present use, to which the resource is reasonably suited; and<\/li><li>The conflict, competition, difference or incompatibility between the proposed action\u2019s use and the other uses to which the resource is reasonably suited cannot be avoided or resolved if the proposed action is implemented.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>For Type I actions, a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) must be prepared, and the steps of the environmental review process must be followed.<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><h3 class=\"cfct-mod-title\">Generic and Programmatic Actions<\/h3><p>In proceeding with the initial screening of a particular action, institutions should be aware that there may be circumstances in which \u201cgeneric\u201d or \u201cprogrammatic\u201d impact statements, treating a group or series of actions, may be appropriate.<\/p><ul><li>A \u201cgeneric\u201d impact statement is suitable to cover actions or portions of actions that are repetitive in specific cases. Only those impacts that are common to all of the generic actions should be addressed. With respect to Type I actions a generic EIS is possible but unlikely. A Type I action is usually a major specific action, or a program or policy which can be dealt with in a programmatic EIS. A generic EIS will be most commonly used for Type II actions.<\/li><li>A \u201cprogrammatic\u201d EIS is prepared on a policy or program decision that will affect the long-term development of subsequent specific actions. With respect to Type I actions, a programmatic EIS is appropriate whenever agency programs or policy decisions are categorized as Type I. An entire program may be classed as a Type II action and, if deemed necessary in the environmental impact assessment, be treated with a programmatic EIS.<\/li><li>Specific actions that are part of a generic or programmatic impact statement must be measured against the generic or programmatic statement. A complete environmental impact statement on a single action within the generic or programmatic statement may not be necessary.<\/li><li>Generic and programmatic impact statements may be amended as new information becomes available. The review process for such changes should follow the guidelines for amendments to impact statements, set forth below.<\/li><li>The designated campus officer for research\/demonstration will review the UW System action type list to determine which actions might be appropriately treated as generic or programmatic. The officer will advise the institution\u2019s WEPA Coordinator of the possibility of developing generic and programmatic impact statements, and will consult with the coordinator as to the kinds of actions that might be appropriate for such treatment.<\/li><\/ul><h3>\u00a0<\/h3><h3>Interagency Cooperation<\/h3><p>There may be occasions when an institution initiates an action that impacts another state agency or agencies. For these situations, a \u201clead\u201d agency should assume prime responsibility for the conduct of the environmental review process, described below. Only one comprehensive environmental impact statement should be drafted in such instances. The UW System institution involved should consult with CPB staff and the other impacted state agency and agree upon the \u201clead\u201d agency. When a dispute occurs as to the lead agency designation, the lead agency question shall be resolved so as not to cause delay. The following factors are listed as guidance in determining which agency is most appropriately designated as \u201clead\u201d agency:<\/p><ul><li>Magnitude of agency\u2019s involvement;<\/li><li>Project approval\/disapproval authority;<\/li><li>Expertise concerning the action\u2019s environmental effects;<\/li><li>Duration of agency\u2019s involvement and,<\/li><li>Sequence of agency\u2019s involvement. The decision can be made by interagency agreement on recurring situations or on a case-by-case basis.<\/li><\/ul><p>Upon request of the lead agency, any other state agency that has jurisdiction by law should be a cooperating agency. In addition, any other state agency that has special expertise with respect to any environmental issue, which should be addressed in the statement, may be a cooperating agency upon request of the lead agency. When acting as the lead agency, the institution should:<\/p><ul><li>Request the participation of each cooperating agency in the WEPA process at the earliest possible time;<\/li><li>To the maximum extent possible consistent with its responsibility as lead agency, use the environmental analysis and proposals of cooperating agencies; and<\/li><li>Meet with a cooperating agency at the latter\u2019s request.<\/li><\/ul><p>When acting as the cooperating agency the institution should:<\/p><ul><li>Participate in the WEPA process as the earliest possible time;<\/li><li>Assume, on request of the \u201clead\u201d agency, responsibility for developing information and preparing environmental analyses including portions of the environmental impact statement in which the cooperating agency has special expertise; and<\/li><li>Make available staff support at the lead agency\u2019s request to enhance the latter\u2019s interdisciplinary capability.<\/li><\/ul><p>A cooperating agency should contribute funding based on an equitable pro-rated allocation as determined by the lead agency.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>        \t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n            <div data-name=\"responsibilities\" id=\"responsibilities\" class=\"tab-pane fade \" role=\"tabpanel\" hidden=\"hidden\" aria-labelledby=\"responsibilities_tab_label\">\n    <h3 class=\"sr-only\">Responsibilities<\/h3>\n    <div class=\"copy\">\n\t    \n        <p>Compliance with WEPA is the responsibility of each state agency. <a title=\"Wisconsin Administrative Code, Chapter 60\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.legis.wisconsin.gov\/code\/admin_code\/adm\/60\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wisconsin Administrative Code ADM 60<\/a> establishes procedures for agency WEPA actions including factors to be considered in making a decision about environmental impact.

Since a consultant will be hired by the Division of Facilities Development & Management (DFDM) to prepare the EIS, the length of time required to hire that consultant and negotiate a contract needs to be considered when determining the schedule for completion of an EIS. At a minimum, the DEIS public hearing needs to have occurred prior to receiving authority to construct from the BOR and the SBC, so that any issues that could affect the project scope and budget have been identified.<\/p><p>For those actions initiated by the UW System or an institution within the UW System the Environmental Impact Statement (<em>if called for<\/em>) should be written late enough in the project or program development process to contain meaningful information, but early enough so that whatever information is contained in the EIS can serve as a practical input into the decision-making process. The formal WEPA process should be initiated when a decision is being made which will foreclose alternative policy options.<\/p><h4>\u00a0<\/h4><h4>SCOPING<\/h4><p>The initial step in the development of an EIS is the scoping process, which identifies issues and potential areas of concern specific to the proposed action. The EIS consultant:<\/p><ul><li>Prepares a scoping letter is for review by the EIS team and sent to those individuals and groups identified in the Distribution List.<\/li><li>Develops a distribution list of legislators, state agencies, municipalities, neighborhood associations, nearby residents, interest groups, student groups, faculty and staff representatives, and individuals who should receive scoping and other WEPA documentation.<\/li><li>Undertakes a relevant database search and completes the [UW Historic Assessment Form] and submits that form to the UW System Historic Preservation Officer for review and a determination on whether a [WI Historic Assessment Form] (SHPO 44.40) will need to be prepared.<\/li><li>Prepares a legal notice of the public scoping meeting that is published a minimum of 15 days prior to the meeting.<\/li><li>Prepares a draft electronic presentation for the scoping meeting that is provided to the EIS team members and A\/E Design consultant for review and comment one week prior to the scheduled meeting. The EIS consultant also prepares a sign-in form, written public comments form, and obtains design concept\/site elevation materials from the design consultant. An agenda and a handout that describes the project scope and schedule of the project are recommended.<\/li><li>Leads the scoping meeting, presents the concept of the proposed facility (with or without the assistance of the lead design consultant), identifies known impacts, and solicits comments from the participants. This provides guidance on the development of data needed to address the potential environmental effects and impacts (both positive and negative) of the proposed action. Issues identified throughout the scoping process are communicated to the EIS team for inclusion in the EIS and to determine whether or not further action is necessary.<\/li><\/ul><h4>\u00a0<\/h4><h4>DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT (DEIS)<\/h4><p>From information garnered through the scoping process and collection of site-specific data, the EIS consultant prepares the (DEIS). The DEIS describes the proposed action and alternatives in sufficient detail that reviewing agencies and the public can assess the environmental effects of the proposed action as it relates to their area of expertise and\/or interest. The format and content of the DEIS should follow the UW System model, as shown in [EIS Services Request] template. The EIS consultant:<\/p><ul><li>Analyzes existing or readily available information to provide supplemental information on site soils, flora\/fauna, social and economic effects and other information necessary to describe the proposed action and impacts as reflected in the EIS outline.<\/li><li>Addresses probable effects of alternatives to the proposed action including justification as to why the selected alternative was chosen. Impacts of sustainability features that are being considered are also included.<\/li><li>Once the DEIS is developed, distributes review copies of the document are provided to the EIS team for input prior to public release. The EIS consultant incorporates appropriate review comments into the DEIS, prints and distributes copies.<\/li><li>Provides a 45-day public comment period is required for the DEIS and, during that timeframe, conducts a public meeting. Publication of a legal notice of availability of the DEIS is coordinated by the EIS consultant typically in combination with the legal notice of the DEIS public meeting, or a separate DEIS legal notice may be published at least 15 days prior to the public meeting. At a minimum, the legal notice is published in the local daily\/weekly newspaper and campus newspaper(s) including on-campus electronic faculty\/staff and student news media where available. Notices for projects of a larger magnitude, especially those with potential statewide impact, are also published in the designated official state newspaper. Notices should include a brief description of the project, cost\/funding, anticipated project implementation schedule, date\/time\/location of the public meeting, and a website link and physical locations where copies of the DEIS can be reviewed (typically a local library and the main campus library). The notice should specify the deadline for receipt of public comments and provide contact information for the EIS consultant, who is responsible for dissemination,discussion with the EIS team, and follow-up.<\/li><li>Conducts the public meeting on the DEIS. The EIS consultant prepares a draft PowerPoint presentation for the DEIS meeting and provides it to the EIS Team members for review and comment one week prior to the scheduled meeting. The EIS consultant also develops a sign-in sheet for meeting attendees and a form for those who prefer to submit written public comments. A handout that describes the project scope and schedule of the project is recommended. At the meeting, the EIS consultant advises attendees that the meeting is being recorded and summarizes the EIS process to be followed and the initial determination of need for an EIS on the proposed action. The lead design team should have a representative at the meeting to present and clarify any design issues. Typically, representatives from the EIS Team (DFDM, UWSA, the campus) are present. Current graphic materials describing the project are provided to the extent available from the lead design consultant. The EIS consultant fields questions and makes verbal clarifications for the public as appropriate at the meeting and draws upon other members of the EIS Team for input when needed. The EIS consultant collects all meeting comments (both verbal and written) and produces meeting minutes for inclusion in the final EIS (FEIS).<\/li><li>During the 45-day DEIS review period, consults with the EIS team to review all comments and determine how, and to what extent, those comments will be addressed in the FEIS.<\/li><\/ul><h4>\u00a0<\/h4><h4>FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT (FEIS)<\/h4><p>The EIS consultant:<\/p><ul><li>Prepares the final EIS following the public meeting and close of the public comment period on the DEIS.<\/li><li>Sends a review copy of the FEIS to the EIS team as well as a draft of the legal notice prior to public release. The format of the FEIS follows that of the DEIS and addresses, by incorporation, the responses to comments raised in the DEIS. As with the DEIS, the EIS consultant prints and distributes the FEIS, which must be available a minimum of 30 days for public review.<\/li><li>Publishes a Class I Notice of Hearing in the local media a minimum of 15 days prior to the hearing and follows procedures as outlined above for DEIS publication for the FEIS.<\/li><li>Leads and records the final EIS public hearing that is typically scheduled near the end of the FEIS review period. The EIS consultant summarizes the EIS process, describes the project proposal, identifies the substantial changes between the DEIS and FEIS, summarizes the final findings detailed in the EIS, and describes how major comments raised during the DEIS process were addressed.
