Let’s go to Japan in the summer of 2014! Experience a tour of Japan, this will be an amazing lifetime experience which will be not be forgotten. We plan to go in early June, 2014, come and join us. I recently took my San Juan College group to Japan in July of 2012, all the students were very excited and enjoyed being there. There was so much to see. For more information, please contact me, Mr. Iwana, for the “Japan Tour 2014”. We will not have the Costa Rica Tour in 2014, but if you are interested, I encourage you to join the Costa Rica Tour 2013 in June this year. Call me at 326-6571 ex301 or 860-6687 for more information. Thank you. Hiroshi Iwana, Spanish instructor Senior Seminar Class. On Tuesday Jan 16th, a representative from the San Juan College Financial Aid Office came to present to seniors regarding scholarship information, most specifically the FAFSA. The FAFSA is crucial for students AND parents together to fill out in order for the senior to be eligible for financial aid/scholarships. All seniors at this point have their PIN numbers and know the website on which they need to fill out the application. They will need the assistance of their parents in regards to income tax information. Please assist your seniors with this process. In addition, encourage your senior students to begin looking for scholarships and to begin applying for them. The Senior Seminar took a field trip up to Ft. Lewis College in Durango, Colorado and met with rep- resentatives from Admissions and the Native American Center.

Introduction This chapter documents the Bureau of Reclamation's (Reclamation) consultation and coordination activities during the preparation of this Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for Navajo Reservoir Operations. The public involvement activities are described, including the public scoping process, along with information on the activities that were implemented to solicit input from those agencies with jurisdictional authority, interest, or expertise in the activities or issues addressed in this FEIS. II. PLIblic Involvement Activities Reclamation used several methods to obtain public input in developing the FEIS, including scoping meetings and dissemination of public information through project newsletters, news releases, paid advertisements, and a project website. These public involvement activities are described in more detail in the following sections. Public Scoping Process One of the steps in preparing this and other environmental impact documents is called "scoping," which is designed to help determine the scope of issues and alternatives to be analyzed in the document from the interest and perspective of the public. Scoping occurs as early as possible after a lead agency decides to prepare a FEIS under a process governed by the Council on Environmental Quality (oversight agency for the National Environmental Chapter V - Consultation and Coordination FEIS - Navajo Reservoir Operations Policy Act [NEPA] process). The scoping process provides the general public, local agencies, affected Federal and State agencies, and others the opportunity to provide input on key issues and concerns they believe should be evaluated in the environmental document.
