Based on all oral and written comments,
a Scoping Document 2 (SD2) may be

process plan and schedule, as well as a
list of issues, identified through the
scoping process.
Environmental Site Review
The licensee and Commission staff
conducted an Environmental Site
Review of the project on October 24,
2019. An environmental site review is
typically held in conjunction with the
scoping meetings. However, access to
some project facilities may be limited by
winter weather during December of
2019 when scoping for this project will
be conducted. For this reason, the
Commission conducted the
environmental site review in October
before the onset of winter.
Meeting Objectives
At the scoping meetings, staff will: (1)
Initiate scoping of the issues; (2) review
and discuss existing conditions and
resource management objectives; (3)
review and discuss existing information
and identify preliminary information
and study needs; (4) review and discuss
the process plan and schedule for prefiling activity that incorporates the time
frames provided for in Part 5 of the
Commission’s regulations and, to the
extent possible, maximizes coordination
of federal, state, and tribal permitting
and certification processes; and (5)
discuss the appropriateness of any
federal or state agency or NativeAmerican tribe acting as a cooperating
agency for development of an
environmental document.
Meeting participants should come
prepared to discuss their issues and/or
concerns. Please review the PAD in

is typically held in conjunction with the scoping meetings. However,
access to some project facilities may be limited by winter weather
during December of 2019 when scoping for this project will be
conducted. For this reason, the Commission conducted the environmental
site review in October before the onset of winter.
Meeting Objectives
At the scoping meetings, staff will: (1) Initiate scoping of the
issues; (2) review and discuss existing conditions and resource
management objectives; (3) review and discuss existing information and
identify preliminary information and study needs; (4) review and
discuss the process plan and schedule for pre-filing activity that
incorporates the time frames provided for in Part 5 of the Commission's
regulations and, to the extent possible, maximizes coordination of
federal, state, and tribal permitting and certification processes; and
(5) discuss the appropriateness of any federal or state agency or
Native-American tribe acting as a cooperating agency for development of
an environmental document.
Meeting participants should come prepared to discuss their issues
and/or concerns. Please review the PAD in
[[Page 64885]]
preparation for the scoping meetings. Directions on how to obtain a
copy of the PAD and SD1 are included in item l of this document.
Meeting Procedures
The meetings will be recorded by a stenographer and will be placed
in the public records of the project.
