During the meeting, FCS will monitor comments received, answer questions as directed by staff, and provide a summary of public comments regarding any environmental concerns raised.

Public Scoping Meeting. In addition to or in lieu of sending written comments, we invite you to attend a public scoping meeting that we will conduct in the project area. The location and time for this meeting is listed below: Tuesday, October 1, 2002, 7:00 pm. Radisson Hotel Historic Savannah, 000 Xxxx Xxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, (912) 790–7000. The public scoping meeting is designed to provide state and local agencies, interested groups, affected landowners, and the general public with more detailed information and another opportunity to offer your comments on the proposed project. Interested groups and individuals are encouraged to attend the meeting and to present comments on the environmental issues they believe should be addressed in the EA. A transcript of the meeting will be made so that your comments will be accurately recorded. In addition to involvement in the EA scoping process, you may want to become an official party to the proceeding known as an ‘‘intervenor’’. Intervenors play a more formal role in the process. Among other things, intervenors have the right to receive copies of case-related Commission documents and filings by other intervenors. Likewise, each intervenor must provide 14 copies of its filings to the Secretary of the Commission and must send a copy of its filings to all other parties on the Commission’s service list for this proceeding. If you want to become an intervenor you must file a motion to intervene according to Rule 214 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214) (see appendix 1).3 Only intervenors have the right to seek rehearing of the Commission’s decision. Affected landowners and parties with environmental concerns may be granted intervenor status upon showing good cause by stating that they have a clear and direct interest in this proceeding which would not be adequately represented by any other parties. You do not need intervenor status to have your environmental comments considered.
Public Scoping Meeting. LSA, in consultation with City staff, will hold a public scoping meeting during the 60-day NOP public review period. Although City staff will administer the scoping meeting, LSA staff will be available to provide an explanation of the CEQA process and answer questions related to the scope of the SEIR. Following the 60-day NOP review period, LSA will prepare a summary of issues raised by public agencies, residents, and business owners. This summary will identify any new applicable issues to be incorporated into the SEIR and upon consultation with the City, determine whether any additional analysis (outside of this scope of work) is necessary for the SEIR.
Public Scoping Meeting. PlaceWorks assist the City in organizing and conducting one scoping meeting with agencies and interested parties to solicit comments regarding the scope and content of the environmental issues to be addressed in the PEIR.

Public Scoping Meeting. The Meeting Notice Flyer will also be provided, as directed by staff, however please note that mailing and postage of invitations are not included in this budget. After completion of the Scoping/Community Meeting, Consultant will review the comments received during the scoping process to determine if redefining of the scope of the environmental analysis is warranted.

Public Scoping Meeting. The Xxxxxxx Access Project is one of several projects currently underway in Ketchikan. The Borough has initiated a comprehensive planning process for Xxxxxxx Island, is pursuing an update to its coastal management plan, and is also conducting wetlands planning. These planning efforts comprise the Borough's "Ketchikan 2020" planning program. The U.S. Forest Service is engaged in a timber sale environmental impact statement for its lands on west Xxxxxxx Island. The Alaska Mental Health Trust has lands on Xxxxxxx Island that it would like to see developed to achieve its objective of realizing income from its land base to support state mental health programs. The DOT&PF and HDR Alaska project team determined that sharing information, cooperating on data collection efforts, and agreeing to communicate often as the different projects are implemented would benefit these and other planning efforts in the Ketchikan area. . To this end the public scoping meeting was broadened to a "planning fair" format. Multiple local, state and federal agencies were invited to Ketchikan to set up a booth at the Xxx Xxxxx Civic Center to enable the public to engage the different agencies about their respective planning efforts and learn how the efforts related to the Xxxxxxx Access Project. The "planning fair" concept was presented to the local, state, and federal agencies as a suggested means to facilitate the scoping process. Agency support for the concept was strong. Notification of the public scoping meeting and planning fair consisted of the tabloid-sized insert in the Ketchikan Daily News on Saturday, September 25, 1999. Additional copies of the insert were obtained to use in follow-up outreach efforts. These were made available to the agencies at the agency scoping meeting and the general public through the Xxxxxxx Access Project Ketchikan project office and the Ketchikan Gateway Borough, Planning Department Office. Each Ketchikan resident with a current mailing address received a postcard mailer with notification of the public meeting, and businesses throughout Ketchikan received flyers for public display. Both the postcard and flyer contained the public meeting specifics— date, time, and format. The public scoping meeting was held in the Xxx Xxxxx Civil Center on October 6, 1999. The public scoping meeting was conducted in an open house format. The doors opened at 3:00 p.m. and closed at 8:30 p.m. The public was invited to stop by at any time during this time frame. The DO...
Public Scoping Meeting. Under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15082(C) a public scoping meeting is required for project of “statewide, regional, or areawide significance pursuant Section 15206.” The proposed project does not meet the criteria as a project of statewide, regional, or areawide significant as defined by Section 15206. As a result, a scoping meeting is not required under State CEQA Guidelines. However, a scoping meeting would bolster public input and transparency. As such, a scoping meeting is included as an optional task. If desired and approved by the County, CONTRACTOR will conduct a public scoping meeting during the 30-day NOP period to introduce the community and interested agencies to the project, provide an overview of the EIR process and obtain input on the EIR scope of work. The scoping meeting will include a presentation with graphic imagery, followed by the formal recordation of input from meeting attendees. Due to COVID-era work protocols it is anticipated that this meeting will be held via a video- conferencing platform. CONTRACTOR will work with the County to pick a virtual platform (e.g., Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or WebEx) and work closely with CONTRACTOR and County Information Technology (IT) teams to organize the meeting. If the meeting is held in-person, CONTRACTOR assumes that the scoping meeting location will be arranged by the County. Either way, CONTRACTOR will prepare a PowerPoint presentation for the meeting and present during the meeting.
