Public Scoping Meetings

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) held nine public meetings throughout Nevada and Utah between April 26, 2006 and May 11, 2006.  The meeting purpose was to inform the public that a right-of-way application had been filed and the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) process had been started.  The public was provided information and invited to comment on the project.  The public also had the opportunity to submit written comments throughout the comment period.   

The public scoping meetings were held in Reno, Las Vegas, Baker, Caliente, Alamo, and Ely, Nevada, as well as Salt Lake City, Delta, and Cedar City, Utah.  The BLM distributed press releases announcing the dates, locations, and times of scoping meetings to local and regional print and broadcast media.  The press release was sent to newspapers as well as radio and television stations for airing of public service announcements.  Paid legal notices indicating the dates, locations, and times of scoping meetings were published in the local newspapers for each of the cities listed above.
