Environmental Assessment

GSA has independent obligations under both NEPA and NHPA to seek public input to help ensure that our natural, cultural, and
historic environment is given consideration in project planning. This process can be done by engaging the public in scoping
meetings where you can provide input on the proposed project.

Today's meeting will begin the public scoping process for the BOTA EA. There will be a formal, environmental public meeting
where you may offer comments, suggestions, concerns positive or negative to the team. The views and comments of the public
are necessary to help determine the scope and content of the environmental analysis. An important objective of scoping is to
identify specific elements of the environment that might be affected if the proposal is carried out. Potential impacts raised during
scoping will be analyzed in the subsequent EA. We anticipate the Formal Public Scoping Meeting will occur in the upcoming
summer months 2023. Details will be provided on the GSA Region 7 BIL website, posted in the local newspaper and other
avenues available to reach interested parties.
