Scoping is an early and open process that solicits input from the public and governmental agencies to determine the scope or range of issues to be addressed in the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)/Resource Management Plan Amendment (RMPA) and to identify the significant environmental issues related to the proposed project. The scoping process is meant to focus the EIS/RMPA analysis on the most pertinent issues and impacts, and the review of the land use planning criteria.
The formal scoping comment period for the SNSA EIS/RMPA began on May 19, 2025, with issuance of the Notice of Intent (NOI) and extended through September 5, 2025.
