Scoping Process

The Commission’s scoping objectives

are to:

• Identify significant environmental

issues;

• Determine the depth of analysis

appropriate to each issue;

• Identify the resource issues not

requiring detailed analysis; and

• Identify reasonable project

alternatives.

The purpose of the scoping process is

to identify significant issues related to

the proposed action and to determine

what issues should be covered in the

environmental document pursuant to

the National Environmental Policy Act

of 1969 (NEPA). The document entitled

‘‘Scoping Document I’’ (SDI) will be

circulated shortly to enable appropriate

federal, state, and local resource

agencies, developers, Indian tribes,

nongovernmental organizations

(NGO’s), and other interested parties to

effectively participate in and contribute

to the scoping process. SDI provides a

brief description of the proposed action,

project alternatives, the geographic and

temporal scope of a cumulative effects

analysis, and a list of preliminary issues

identified by staff.
