The schedule and locations for these <br /> <br /> <br />activities are shown below. The public is especially asked to provide input on: <br />(1) alternative approaches to meeting the needs and purposes of the Federal <br />action. For example, are there more effective or feasible ways to improve or protect the <br /> <br />habitat of the four target species? Suggestions could address indi'llidual elements of a <br /> <br />plan, such as ways to conserve water or to improve habitat management, or could provide <br /> <br /> <br />broader options, such as reoperation of the Federal reservoirs in the Platte River Basin. <br /> <br /> <br />Suggestions also could address such {actors as the timing of a program, e.g., <br /> <br /> <br />implementing an entire program at the onset, rather than using the phased, adaptive . <br /> <br /> <br />management approach in the proposed Program. <br />(2) impacts of the proposed Program and alternatives that should be evaluated and <br /> <br />reported. In addition to the effects of the alternatives on the habitat of the target species, <br /> <br />4t <br /> <br />what are likely to be significant consequences of the various options that should be <br /> <br />considered and reported? <br /> <br />Schedule of Scoping Meetings <br /> <br />A series of meetings will be conducted in Colorado, Nebraska, and Wyoming. <br /> <br />Each will begin with a I-hour open hoUse at which the public can informally discuss <br /> <br />issues and ask questions of staff and managers involved in the Platte River Endangered <br /> <br />Species Partnership. <br /> <br />10 <br /> <br />~ <br />
