Members of the public who would like to provide input on environmental analysis for upcoming Alviso and Ravenswood construction have until close of business on December 2, 2013 to submit their comments – the deadline has been extended due to staffing and resource constraints caused by the federal government shutdown.
The scoping periods provides interested parties and the public an opportunity to recommend issues to be analyzed in the upcoming draft Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (EIS/EIR) for Phase 2 restoration and public access construction at Alviso and Ravenswood ponds. Comments could include suggestions and information on the issues and concerns that should be addressed in the draft EIS/EIR, including the range of alternatives, appropriate mitigation measures, and the nature and extent of potential environmental impacts of alternatives.
Comments can be emailed to Ariel Ambruster at aambrust@ccp.csus.edu.
