10.1 Conduct Public Meeting(s)

Opportunities to solicit public input on the special resource study/environmental document may take the format of a “meeting,” “workshop,” or “hearing.”  Meetings, workshops, or hearings arranged by the planning team should be well advertised by a reliable method such as a purchased ad, direct mail, internet electronic mail, notices posted local community gathering spots, or community or other organizations spreading the word, according to the public involvement strategy developed in the project agreement.  Press releases are published or aired at the discretion of the media and are not considered as reliable or effective as an advertisement.   

10.2 Collect, Analyze, Summarize, and Respond to Agency and Public Comments

The planning team, in conjunction with the regional office, collects, analyzes, summarizes and responds to agency and public comments.
