Interested Parties

Quite a few of you attended one or more of the five public meetings held to date. Please be aware that a sixth meeting is scheduled for May 10, 2011 from 9:00 to noon in the California Natural Resources Agency auditorium at 1416 Ninth Street in Sacramento. This additional meeting was scheduled to assure compliance with requirements of the Administrative Procedures Act. This meeting will not include a preliminary workshop. There will be a very brief set of opening remarks by the Department of Fish and Game and we will then go into receiving public comment. The public review period will conclude on May 10, 2011.

The public meetings were attended by more than 700 interested individuals and the speakers supporting restoration of suction dredge mining were clearly in the majority. We have received comments through regular mail, email, fax and hand-delivery; and these represent a wide diversity of perspectives. Usually, the bulk of comments in a public review period arrive just before the period closes. If that holds for this project, I am expecting a significant influx. What we already have is substantial.

In addition to the DSEIR, you may be interested in reviewing additional documents related to the Administrative Procedures Act which are posted on our website http://www.dfg.ca.gov/suctiondredge/.

Please feel free to contact me with questions and I look forward to receiving your comments and suggestions. We will evaluate every piece of information to determine the content of the Final SEIR and Final Adopted Regulations.
