Appendix H Public Comments and Responses to DEIS
APPENDIX H PUBLIC COMMENTS AND RESPONSES ON DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT According to NEPA, federal agencies are required to identify and formally respond to all substantive public comments. A standardized content analysis process was conducted to analyze the public comments on the Draft EIS. Each comment letter and email message received was read, analyzed and considered by BLM, Reclamation, and Western to ensure that all substantive comments were identified. In performing this analysis, the BLM, Reclamation, and Western relied on the Council on Environmental Quality’s regulations to determine what constituted a substantive comment. A substantive comment does one or more of the following: Questions, with a reasonable basis, the accuracy of the information and/or analysis in the EIS. Questions, with a reasonable basis, the adequacy of the information and/or analysis in the EIS. Presents reasonable alternatives other than those presented in the Draft EIS that meet the purpose and need of the proposed action and addresses significant issues. Questions, with a reasonable basis, the merits of an alternative or alternatives. Causes changes in or revisions to the proposed action. Questions, with a reasonable basis, the adequacy of the planning process itself. Thirty-seven individual comment letters and/or emails were submitted to the BLM during the 45-day comment period. Within the 37 comment letters, 322 comments were identified and addressed. Comments on the Draft EIS that failed to meet the above description were considered non-substantive because they expressed personal opinions or preferences that were not relevant to the adequacy or accuracy of the Draft EIS, or represented commentary regarding resource management unrelated to the Draft EIS. -
