addressed, effort to be expended, and alternatives that should be
addressed in the EIS. Questions or clarifications concerning the
proposal or any other information presented will be answered as they
relate to the scope of the effort anticipated.
The Scoping meeting will include opportunities for clarification of
the addendum and statements from representatives of government agencies
and the public. To ensure the maximum opportunity for public
participation, initial presentations and questions by individuals will
be limited to a maximum of five minutes until all those desiring an
opportunity to speak have been accommodated. Additional presentations
and questions will be accepted at the end of the meeting. Submission of
written comments and questions will be accepted. Submission of written
comments is encouraged but is not required. Written comments and
questions of any length submitted at the meeting or during the public
