Landowners’ concerns will be addressed in EA

The Commission also notified affected landowners, tribes, agencies, and local groups about the scoping and review process.
Public participation and help resources offered
FERC offers a free eSubscription service and the Office of Public Participation to notify the public about filings, help with interventions/comments, and provide access to docket materials; contact details and instructions are provided in the notice. These resources are available to landowners, community organizations, Tribal members, and others interested in the Project.
