Public Involvement/Project Coordination October 2005 locations. More complete descriptions of these meetings and summaries of comments may be found in Appendix A. • September 5, 2003 - Met with individual business and property owners along I-10 at Days Inn Conference Room (7 meetings) to introduce the project and solicit early concerns. • March 12, 2004- Met with business and property owners along I-10 at Marana Development Services (15 meetings) to present and receive comments on the alternatives. Hearing The Draft EA would be made available for public review and comment. To facilitate public involvement, a public hearing to explain the project and its environmental consequences would be held in the study area. Comments received at the public hearing and during the 30-day review and comment period would be incorporated into the Final Environmental Assessment (FEA) prepared for this project. The FEA would be used to determine the final environmental impacts for the project. Other On-Going Activities Throughout the final design and construction processes, efforts to inform and involve the community and businesses would be continued. A series of community meetings would be conducted at appropriate phases throughout the project. These meetings would inform the community of upcoming construction activities and the possible affects of these activities on the community and would offer the opportunity for the community and businesses to provide suggestions or comments that may minimize these affects. The meetings would be advertised in the same manner as the public information meetings for this project. Special efforts would be made to keep emergency services personnel informed of construction activities. Construction information would be available to the general public through regular briefings and information releases to newspapers, radio, and television. Conclusion To ensure that the public contributed to this study and had full access to study results, a number of public meetings and outreach efforts occurred and technical committees were formed. The design of the preferred alternative has been modified to address some of the concerns that have resulted from these public involvement efforts. After circulation of the Draft EA, a public hearing to explain the project and its environmental consequences would be held in the study area. Comments received would be addressed and incorporated into the FEA. A series of community meetings would be conducted at appropriate phases throughout the remainder of the proposed project. Construction information would be available to the general public through regular briefings and information releases.
