n. Although our current intent is to 

prepare an environmental assessment 

(EA), there is the possibility that an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

will be required. Nevertheless, this 

meeting 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 these meetings, to assist staff 

in identifying particular study needs, as 

well as the scope of environmental 

issues to be addressed in the 

environmental document. 

Many environmental issues have 

already been identified (i.e. potential 

effects on fish population and 

movement, diving birds, recreational 

opportunities), studies to assess those 

issues have already been developed and 

some are ongoing. Commission staff are 

particularly interested in identifying 

any new issues (those not identified in 

the Scoping Document), or previously 

identified issues that are not being 

addressed. The times and locations of 

these meetings are as follows: 

Evening Scoping Meeting 

Date and Time: Wednesday, March 

28, 2007, 7 p.m. (EST) 

Location: Community Center 

Building, 8 River Road, Roosevelt 

Island, NY 10044. 

Daytime Scoping Meeting 

Date and Time: Thursday, March 29, 

2007, 10 a.m. (EST) 

Location: Community Center 

Building, 8 River Road, Roosevelt 

Island, NY 10044. 

The Community Center Building is a 

low rise separate building located west 

(towards Manhattan) of Gristedes 

supermarket set back behind the brick 

highrise buildings near the west 

channel. 

The Scoping Document, 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 the 

Scoping Document will be available at 

the scoping meetings, or may be viewed 

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

the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link. In the event 

substantive comments are received and 

revisions are necessary, the Commission 

will prepare a revised Scoping 

Document for distribution. 

Site Visit 

Verdant will conduct a site visit at the 

project site on Wednesday, March 28, 

2007, starting at 2 p.m. All participants 

should meet at Verdant’s control room 

located in a large beige metal cargo 

container box along side of the east 

channel of the East River of the 600 

block of Main Street on Roosevelt 

Island. All participants are responsible 

for their own transportation. 

Scoping Meeting Objectives 

At the scoping meetings, staff will: (1) 

Present a proposed list of issues to be 

addressed in the EA; (2) identify the 

proposed studies; (3) solicit from the 

meeting participants all available 

information, especially quantifiable 

data, on the resources at issue; (4) 

encourage statements from experts and 

the public on issues that should be 

analyzed in the EA; (5) determine the 

resource issues to be addressed in the 

EA; and (6) identify those issues that 

require a detailed analysis, as well as 

those issues that do not require a 

detailed analysis. 

Meeting participants should come 

prepared to discuss their issues and/or 

concerns. Please review the Scoping 

Document in preparation for the scoping 

meetings. 

Scoping Meeting Procedures 

The meetings will be recorded by a 

stenographer and will become part of 

the formal Commission record on the 

project.
