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:

resource management objectives; (3) 

review and discuss existing information 

and identify preliminary information 

and study needs; (4) review and discuss
