On July 9, 2025, the Project Principals held a supplementary public scoping meeting during which agency representatives, stakeholders, and members of the public were invited to provide input relevant to the Plan-EIS process. During the meeting, Principals provided updated information on the project timeline, proposed action and alternatives, broad categories of expected impacts, and answered general questions about the NEPA process, including scoping and preparation of the Plan-EIS.

It is important that participants provide their comments prior to the close of the public scoping comment period on July 18, and clearly articulate any input regarding the Remedial Project and alternatives to it. The presentation from this meeting was recorded and is available to view at the link below:

Prior Public Scoping Meetings

In 2016, NRCS, the Forest Service, and the Project Sponsor initiated scoping for an environmental assessment for the rehabilitation of Clear Branch Dam. A public scoping meeting was held on August 15, 2016, in Parkdale, Oregon. Once the action agencies determined that the Remedial Project would require preparation of an EIS, a public scoping meeting to present the Remedial Project and receive input to assist in developing the scope of a draft Plan-EIS was held on October 4, 2022, in Parkdale, Oregon.

This latter scoping meeting was recorded and is available to view at the link below:
