Fourteen public seoping meetings were held in 1990. A series of public roundtables was conducted inNovember 1991 toprovide anupdate onthe status of SOR studies. The lead agencies went back to most of the 14 communities in 1992 with 10 initial system operating strategies developed from the screening process. From those meetings and other consultations, seven 50S alternatives (with options) were developed and subjected to full-scale analysis. The analysis results were presented in the Draft EIS released in July 1994. The lead agenciesalso developed alternatives for the other proposed SORactions. including aColumbia River Regional Forum for assisting in the detennination of future SOSs.
