How was public input from the environmental study used?

Public input was a vital component during the environmental study phase and was solicited from project inception through key milestones in the Draft and Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) processes. The interests and needs of the public, along with all other social, economic and environmental issues and impacts, were fully analyzed during the study phase of the project. More information about the entire public involvement process up to publication of the Final EIS is available in Chapter 6, Comments and Coordination, of the Final EIS.
