p. Although our current intent is to

(EA), there is the possibility that an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

will be required. Nevertheless, the 

scoping meetings described below 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 times and places 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: 

Evening Scoping Meeting 

Date: Wednesday, October 21, 2009. 

Time: 6:30 p.m.

Scoping Document 1 (SD1), which 

outlines the subject areas to be 

addressed in the environmental 

document, was mailed to the 

individuals and entities on the 

Commission’s mailing list. Copies of 

SD1 will be available at the scoping 

meetings, or may be viewed on the Web 

at http://www.ferc.gov, using the 

‘‘eLibrary’’ link. Follow the directions 

for accessing information in paragraph 

n. Based on all oral and written 

comments, a Scoping Document 2 (SD2) 

may be issued. SD2 may include a 

revised process plan and schedule, as 

well as a list of issues, identified 

through the scoping process. 

Environmental Site Review 

The potential applicant and 

Commission staff will conduct an 

environmental site review of the project 

area on Wednesday, October 21, 2009 

beginning at 1 p.m. at the Old Harbor 

Native Corporation office. Those 

wishing to participate should contact 

Dan Hertrich by October 11, 2009 [email, dan@polarconsult.net or phone, 

(907) 258–2420] for details on how to 

participate. The environmental site 

review will include a strenuous hike to 

the proposed project intake and other 

features; proper footwear and gear is 

strongly recommended. 

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 Indian 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 

preparation for the scoping meetings. 

Directions on how to obtain a copy of 

the PAD and SD1 are included in item 

n. of this document. 

Meeting Procedures 

The meetings will be recorded by a 

stenographer and will become part of 

the formal record of the Commission 

proceeding on the project.
