Public comments received during the NEPA scoping period can be viewed below. Select a comment number link (at right) to view the corresponding comment document.

Please note that because some comment documents were submitted on behalf of multiple organizations, the comment may be listed more than once. Also, comment documents submitted via the Web are prefaced with the comment receipt; the actual comment document begins after the receipt.

If comments were presented during a public scoping meeting, the comment number will begin with the letter "T" for transcript. Upon selection of a "T" link, you will be linked to an Acrobat PDF file of the meeting transcript. You may then use Acrobat's search tool to locate the commenter's name/organization within the document. Oral comments delivered at public scoping meetings may also be viewed via the Completed NEPA Public Scoping Meetings and Transcripts and 2011 NEPA Public Scoping Meeting Documents pages where the public scoping meeting transcripts are available for viewing.
