Internal Scoping Meeting Report: Susquehanna to Roseland Transmission Line Proposal and Right-of-Way Request. Environmental Impact Statement.

摘要

This internal scoping report summarizes the results of a National Park Service (NPS) internal scoping meeting that was held on September 15-17, 2009. This report provides a review of the intent of this project and what it should accomplish, as well as an overview of the issues identified by the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT). The internal scoping activities provide the basis for developing the purpose, need, and objectives for the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and have laid the foundation for the development of alternatives. Internal scoping refers to the process of designing the scope, content, and schedule of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) document. Internal scoping is done in the initial phase of a project to seek input from a variety of sources. Internal scoping is conducted by the IDT whose goal it is to gain consensus on: project decisions that would be supported by the NEPA process, purpose and need, proposed action, preliminary alternatives, define issues, scope and contents of the NEPA document, required depth of analysis, and schedule of major milestones.
