Technical
study findings are being compiled for presentation in a Draft Environmental
Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS). The MCP team is working
hard to get the Draft Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact
Statement (EIR/EIS) out for public review, however, the process is talking
longer than originally anticipated. The Draft Environmental Impact
Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS) is anticipated to be circulated
for public review in fall 2008. At that time, public hearings will be
held to obtain public comments on the document. Please continue to check back
on the website for project updates and status of release of the Draft EIR/EIS.
