Scoping

• Early and open process for determining the

breadth of issues to be addressed in the SEIS

• Ensures SEIS analysis addresses issues of

importance to affected stakeholders, including the public

• The scoping period is planned for 60 days
• Process includes Notice of Intent, requests for

comments, public scoping meetings, and consideration of comments in preparation of the Draft SEIS analysis

10

Scoping (cont.)

• Notice of Intent
• Submitted to the Federal Register by DOE and to

the State Environmental Notice Bulletin by NYSERDA in February 2018

• Signals the agencies’ intent to prepare an SEIS
• Describes the proposed action and general

approach to alternatives

• Solicits comments on scope, significant issues and

concerns for analysis, and alternatives

• Provides a way for stakeholders to request a copy
• f the Draft SEIS in a specific format

11

Scoping (cont.)

• Three Public Meetings – March 2018 (tentative)
• March 19: West Valley (West Valley Volunteer Hose

Co.)

• March 20: Buffalo (Erie Community College)
• March 21: Seneca Nation of Indians (to be

determined)

12

Scoping (cont.)

• Scoping Meeting Format
• Poster sessions and interaction with DOE,

NYSERDA, and contractor staff

• Presentations on SEIS process, site background,

purpose and need for action, proposed alternatives and their analysis

• Questions
• Opportunity for presentation of comments

13

Scoping (cont.)

• Consideration of Comments
• Received by mail, email, and voicemail
• Collected at scoping meetings in transcripts

and/or in writing

• Organized by topic area to ensure they are

properly considered

• Reviewed in terms of the scope of the SEIS and

the issues and alternatives to be considered

14

Potential Alternatives

• No Action
• Sitewide Close-in-Place
• Sitewide Removal
• Hybrid(s) – Developed through scoping and

iterative probabilistic modeling All alternatives will account for completion of Phase 1 actions
