(a)Each applicant to the council shall include in application documents, a SEQR data sheet in a form prescribed by the division describing and analyzing the environmental impacts of the proposed action. The SEQR data sheet shall contain sufficient information for the division to conduct an environmental analysis to determine, pursuant to section 1263.4 of this Part, whether the action may or will not have a significant effect on the environment. If, in the judgment of the division the information provided in the SEQR data sheet is insufficient to complete an adequate environmental analysis under SEQR, it may require the applicant to furnish additional information on the proposed action.
(b)Each application to the council shall include an identification of those other agencies, including Federal agencies, which to the best knowledge of the applicant, have jurisdiction by law over the action or any portion of it.
(c)Where appropriate, an applicant may include in application documents a concise statement of reasons why, in the judgment of the applicant, the proposed action is one which will not require the preparation of an EIS.
(d)Applicants shall consider the environmental impacts of proposed actions and alternatives at the earliest possible point in their planning processes and shall develop, wherever possible, measures to mitigate or avoid adverse environmental impacts.
