The purpose of the public participation process is to actively inform and engage interested stakeholders including Federal,
state, and local agencies; elected officials; Native Americans; and the general public about the proposed action and to receive
public input during the various stages of the NEPA process.

the proposed action, including a summary of the alternatives analyzed in the Draft EIS and a review of the
environmental analysis. You can watch a recording of the public meeting via multiple outlets, including
