Get Involved

Citizens, elected officials, special interest groups, Native American tribal nations, and local, state, and federal agencies have been encouraged to get involved by attending the public scoping meetings, reviewing the information provided on this website, and providing public comments.  Public comments were accepted during the public scoping period in 2024 and the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) public comment period in 2025. 

Public Scoping

The public scoping period went from June 4 to July 8, 2024, whereby the public was given an opportunity to provide initial input on the action and the environmental resources to be addressed in the EIS.  As part of the public scoping process, the Air Force held in-person public scoping meetings on Tuesday, June 25 and Wednesday, June 26, 2024. The meetings used an open-house format with poster stations, and no formal presentation was provided.  A comment table was available for attendees to submit comments.  The scoping materials remain available on the Documents page of this website.  

Draft EIS

The Draft EIS was released to the public on August 29, 2025, for a 45-day public comment period. The Draft EIS can be downloaded from the Documents page of this website.

While in-person or virtual public meetings/hearings were not held for the Draft EIS, a pre-recorded slideshow presenting the findings of the Draft EIS was developed and can be viewed here:
