Appendix A 

Comments and Responses on the Draft 

EIS/EIR 

Appendix A presents the index of entities submitting comments, the text of the 

comment, and the Partner Agencies' responses to the comments. This appendix 

accompanies Chapter 4 of the Final EIS/EIR. The appendix is an interactive table 

that must be viewed using Adobe Acrobat Reader. All full text comments are 

included in the table. Responses can be viewed by scrolling a cursor over the yellow 

highlighted areas in the table. A “pop up” box will appear that contains the response 

to the comment. See below for specific instructions. 

To save paper, the comments and responses are provided in electronic format only. 

The table is best viewed in Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0 and above. Adobe Acrobat 

Reader is available for download at http://www.adobe.com. 

The pdf file for the interactive table is named “Appendix_A_I.pdf”. In instances that 

the interactive table does not work, a complete pdf file of the comments and responses

is also included on the CD in a file named "Appendix_A_II.pdf". All comments and 

responses can be viewed from this file or printed (please note that the file is 372 

pages). If the interactive table file is printed, responses will NOT be shown. The 

third file named “Appendix_A_III.pdf” presents copies of the original comment 

letters, emails and verbal comment transcripts. 

For members of the public without the means to access/read the electronic format 

version, hard copies of the comments and responses are available for review at the El 

Dorado County Public Library, Folsom Public Library, Roseville Public Library, and 

Sacramento Central Public Library. 

In many instances, the response in the “pop up” box directs readers to a “Topical 

Response.” Topical responses address those comments received during the formal 

comment period that were either frequent in nature, involved a common theme, or 

both. All topical responses can be found in Chapter 4 of the Final EIS/EIR. The 

following table identifies the subject and specific section for each topical response.

Specific Instructions for Use of Interactive Comment 

Response Table 

The pdf file is named “Appendix_A_I.pdf”. The interactive pdf file contains a table 

with each commenter's name and the comment number. Tables A-2 through A-5 

indicate the commenter and associated comment number. 

To see the Responses: 

The pdf comment and response file contains the comment number in the first left 

column, the name of the commenter in the second column, and then the comment in 

the final column. Each comment has been broken down into several sub-topics, 

when necessary. 

To see the response to each sub-topic, run your cursor over the highlighted text. A 

response box will pop up with a response to the comment. Click once in the response 

box as soon as it pops up and it will stay on the screen. If you do not click in the 

response box, the box will disappear when you move your cursor off the highlighted 

text. To make the response box disappear, you can either click outside the response 

box once, or you can use the small “x” at the top right corner of the response box to 

close it. Some responses may be several lines long. There is a scroll bar that will 

appear on the right side of the response pop-up box if this is the case. Simply scroll 

down to see the rest of the comment. 

If you have difficulty reading the response pop-up box, you can resize it or move it 

around.

the pop-box. Click and drag the corner of the box to resize it. 

To move the response pop-up box: 

There is a menu in the response pop-up box called "Options". You can click on the 

menu "Options", and then click on "Reset Pop-up Note Location" to move the box 

around. After you have selected this option, simply click and drag the box holding 

down the left mouse button. You can also move the box by simply clicking and 

dragging the top yellow bar in the response pop-up box whenever it is open.
