Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

meeting will satisfy the NEPA scoping
requirements, irrespective of whether an
EA or EIS is issued by the Commission.
Scoping Meetings
Commission staff will hold two
scoping meetings in the vicinity of the
project at the time and place noted
below. The daytime meeting will focus
on resource agency, Indian tribes, and
non-governmental organization
concerns, while the evening meeting is
primarily for receiving input from the
public. We invite all interested
individuals, organizations, and agencies
to attend one or both of the meetings,
and to assist staff in identifying
particular study needs, as well as the
scope of environmental issues to be
addressed in the environmental
document. The times and locations of
these meetings are as follows:
