The Public Scoping Process
The CDFA and WS-California implemented a 60-day public scoping period to solicit input from public agencies and members of the public regarding the development and scope of the EIR/EIS. The scoping period closed on November 10, 2020. The purpose of the scoping process is to identify the actions, alternatives, mitigation measures, and significant effects to be evaluated in detail in the EIR/EIS.
These items include, but are not limited to:
- Impacts on wildlife populations
- Effects on nontarget animal populations, included protected species
- Impacts on ecosystem processes (e.g., trophic cascades)
- Impacts on Native American culture and resources
- Risks and benefits to human and pet safety
- Impacts on Special Management Areas (e.g., Wilderness and Wilderness Study Areas) and other protected places
- Humaneness of methods
- Efficacy of management activity
Interpreters were available upon request. Please visit the Contact page for more information.
Virtual Public Scoping Meetings
Two public scoping meetings (webinars) were held during the scoping period (on October 13 and October 27, 2020). Due to public health and safety requirements concerning COVID-19, these public scoping meetings were conducted virtually. Participants had the opportunity to provide oral comments that were limited to three minutes per person. Information shared during the meeting included an agenda and slides. Recordings to the scoping meetings shall be made available on this website when available.
