NOP / REQUEST FOR SCOPING COMMENTS PAGE 4 RISING TREE WIND FARM PROJECT EIR/EIS provides a forum to learn and address the concerns of the public, affected agencies, and other interested parties. Significant issues may be identified through public and agency comments. Scoping is not intended to resolve disagreements concerning the merits of the project or to anticipate the ultimate decision on the project proposal. Rather, the purpose of scoping is to help ensure that a comprehensive and focused EIR/EIS will be prepared that provides a firm legally defensible basis for the decision-making process. Members of the public, affected federal, State, and local agencies, interest groups, and other interested parties may participate in the scoping process for this project by providing written and oral comments or recommendations concerning the issues to be analyzed in the EIR/EIS. Comments can be given orally by attending the scheduled scoping meeting. For the date, time, and location of the EIR/EIS scoping meeting, please see the cover letter to this NOP/IS packet or visit the Kern County project website at: http://www.co.kern.ca.us/planning/noticeprep.asp.
