these Rules of Procedure.” Before consideration of the FEIS by the TRPA Governing Board, the
Advisory Planning Commission must review and make a recommendation to the Board regarding
certification. The Board must provide an opportunity for comment on the FEIS and has the discretion to
limit such comment to the responses to comments or other new information in the proposed FEIS. Before
action by the Board on the Project, the Board shall certify the FEIS. The Board cannot approve the
Project before certification of the FEIS. The TRPA Governing Board will hold a public hearing to
consider certification of the FEIS and to decide whether or not to approve the Proposed Project or an
Alternative to the Proposed Project.
8.3 USE OF COMMENT SUMMARIES
The full text of all written comments is included in Appendix Z. A comment number in the margin
identifies each comment; responses use the same corresponding number system. To facilitate reading the
response to comments, a summary of each comment is inserted in italics just prior to each response. This
summary does not substitute for the actual comment and the reader is urged to read the full original text
of all comments. The responses are prepared as an answer to the full text of the original comment, and
not to the abbreviated summary.
8.4 COMMENT LETTERS RECEIVED ON THE DEIS
Each comment letter received on the DEIS has been numbered based upon date of receipt and is included
in Appendix Z. Three Hundred and Sixty-Four (364) comment letters were received on the DEIS.
Comments that state a position for or against a specific Alternative are appreciated, as this gives the
Agency a sense of the public's feeling and beliefs about a proposed course of action. Such information
can only be used by the decision maker(s) in arriving at a decision and not for improving the
environmental analysis or documentation. The following people submitted comments that offer support
for the approval of the Project but provided no comment on the merits of the DEIS. The support is noted
for the project record, but no further response is necessary.
