designed to respond to the purpose and
need for the ENDAWS, as well as a noaction alternative. The scoping process
is intended to inform the public about

issues or alternatives to be addressed in
the EIS. Three scoping open houses
were held between October 22–24, 2019
in Bismarck, Jamestown, and Fargo,
North Dakota. These open house
meetings were held prior to the
publication of this Notice as a means of
gathering public input early in the
process per NEPA Implementing
