Two open house scoping meetings will be held from 5 - 8 p.m. at the following locations: Port o f Morrow Conference Center, River front Room, on October 27; and Hermiston Conference Center, Rotary Room, on October 28. The Navy and the National Guard are initiat ing the scoping process to identify com m unity con cerns and issues for analysis in the EIS. The Navy and the N a tio n a l G uard are seeking public in v o lv e ment and input, which are fundam ental parts o f the EIS development under the N ational E nvironm ental Policy Act (NEPA). As part o f the public participation process, the Navy and the National Guard will hold open house meetings in Or egon to obtain public input on the scope of the NWSTF Boardman EIS. The Navy and the N ational G uard propose to im plem ent actions to increase certain m ilitary training activities from cur rent levels to support Navy and Oregon National Guard requirements; develop ap propriate ranges and facili ties; accommodate mission requirem ents associated with force structure changes and the introduction of new weapons system s; im ple ment range enhancements; and maintain current train ing activities. The proposed ac tion would result in selec tively focused but critical enhancements and increas es in training that are nec essary to ensure NWSTF Boardman supports m ili tary training and readiness objectives. The NW STF Boardman EIS will analyze p o ten tial environm ental effects from the training o f U.S. military forces in military airspace above and land training areas within the boundaries o f NWSTF Boardman. The public is in vited to attend open house style scoping meetings for information about the pro posed action and to provide comments on factors to be considered in the EIS. The public may arrive at any time during each scoping meeting. There will be no formal presentation; how ever, N avy and N ational Guard representatives will be on hand to discuss the project and the proposed action. All w ritten com ments must be postmarked or received during the com m ent p e rio d to be c o n sidered in the Draft EIS. Written comments must be postmarked by November 15, 2010, and m ailed to: Naval Facilities Engineer ing Command, Northwest, Attn: Mrs. Amy Burt - N W ST F B oardm an EIS P ro je c t M anager, 1101 Tautog Circle, Suite 203, Sii verdale, WA 98315-1101.
