Purpose of and Need for Action <br />Public Review of Draft EIS <br />On January 4,1994, the draft EIS was filed with the Environmental <br />Protection Agency. The official public comment period began with a <br />Federal Register notice on January 7 and concluded on April 11, 1994. <br />The three-volume draft EIS was distributed to over 1,000 names on <br />the distribution list soliciting public comment. In addition, over <br />17,000 interested parties on the newsletter mailing list received the <br />summary volume by itself. After the initial distribution, Reclamation <br />received over 1,000 additional requests for either the entire draft EIS or <br />its summary. <br />To provide the public an opportunity to learn more about the draft EIS, <br />members of the EIS team conducted information sessions in Salt Lake City, <br />Utah, and Phoenix and Flagstaff, Arizona, in March 1994. These sessions <br />were informational only; public comments were not taken. In addition, <br />two briefings were conducted in Washington, DC. Public hearings were <br />held in the same seven cities as the scoping meetings to receive oral <br />comments on the draft EIS. <br />Over 33,000 written comments were received. More than 2,300 separate <br />issues and concerns were extracted from the analysis of oral and written <br />comments. The "Comments and Responses" volume of the final EIS <br />summarizes the public comments and the EIS team's responses to them. <br />As a result of comments on the draft EIS and discussions with FWS, the <br />preferred alternative described in the draft EIS was modified for the final <br />EIS. The cooperating agencies broadly supported this modification. <br />All public comments, responses prepared by the EIS team, the public <br />hearing transcripts, and the Public Comment Analysis Report prepared by <br />Bear West Consulting Team are filed with the Bureau of Reclamation, <br />Upper Colorado Regional Office, Salt Lake City, Utah, as part of the official <br />record. <br />Glen Canyon Dam EIS Summary 7
