Getting Involved in the EIS
There are several ways to participate in the I-5 Corridor Reinforcement Project public involvement process.
Provide information or comments
BPA is still accepting comments on the project even though the scoping comment period is closed. You can submit comments online, or by mail, phone or fax.
Attend public meetings
BPA does not have any public meetings scheduled at this time, but we will post meeting notices on the home page of the website as future meetings are scheduled.
BPA often provides speakers for organized group or neighborhood meetings. To request a speaker for a group meeting, contact Maryam Asgharian by e-mail or phone at 503-230-4413.
Future public involvement opportunities
BPA will host public meetings if we make changes to the proposed project or have other important developments to report. If you want to be notified, please join our mailing list.
BPA will host public meetings after the draft EIS is released in 2011 to provide information and collect comments on the draft EIS.
Comments will be accepted at the public meetings, and by mail, phone, e-comment and fax during the public comment period.
Previous public involvement opportunities
BPA held public scoping meetings for the I-5 Corridor Reinforcement Project EIS in Washington and Oregon in October and November 2009. Meeting summaries with information about the comments BPA received at each meeting are available.
BPA has attended numerous meetings upon request from citizen groups, neighborhoods and other people interested in the project. A BPA representative presents an overview of the project, answers questions and takes feedback from the public.
