[env-trinity] Public Hearing 8/12/04 on DRAFT TRINITY RIVER FISHERY RESTORATION SUPPLEMENTAL EIR

[Tom Stokely]

Dear Env-Trinity Subscribers,



The following hearing notice appeared in the Trinity Journal on July 14, 2004.



Even though it's more than likely that the Supplemental EIS/EIR process will be halted by the recent 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision, we already scheduled this hearing on the Public Draft TRINITY RIVER FISHERY RESTORATION SUPPLEMENTAL EIR.  For a variety of reasons, we tried to hold the Planning Commission hearing in June and then July, but had to change it to August.  Please don't get too excited about the possibility of the SEIR continuing, this is just something we need to get closure on.  



The deadline for written comments under CEQA is still July 22.  The deadline for NEPA comments has already passed.  



My best guess is that the SEIS/EIR is a dead document, but I've seen nothing official yet.  It could also change if the plaintiffs are successful in their appeals.  



Personally, after spending 10 years working on it, I'm happy to see it go away.



Anyway, if you are confused and need clarification, please feel free to contact me at 530-628-5949.



Yours truly,



Tom Stokely

Principal Planner
