improvements.
4. Scoping Process. a. Potential
impacts associated with the proposed
action will be evaluated. Resource
categories that will be analyzed include:
land use, physical environment,
geology, biological resources,
agricultural resources, air quality,
ground water, recreational usage,
aesthetics, cultural resources,
transportation, communications,
hazardous waste, socioeconomics and
safety.
b. Participation of affected Federal,
State and local resource agencies, native
American groups and concerned interest
groups/individuals is encouraged in the
scoping process. Time and location of
the Public Scoping meetings will be
announced by means of letters, public
announcements and news releases.
Public participation will be especially
important in defining the scope of
analysis in the EIS/EIR, identifying
potentially significant environmental
issues, and obtaining relevant published
and unpublished data, gathering
personal input on relevant issues, and
identifying acceptable mitigative
measures for proposed actions. Those
interested in providing information or
data relevant to the environmental or
social impacts to be included or
considered in the environmental
analysis can furnish this information by
writing to the points of contact
indicated above, or by attending a
public scoping meeting. A mailing list
will also be established so pertinent
data may be distributed to interested
parties.
