One meeting room (known as the project information room) contained presentation boards and information about the proposed action, including purpose and need, alternatives, major changes to the scope since the EIS process re-started, and environmental issues. (Click here to view the presentation boards). Handouts summarizing the information contained in the displays were available to attendees. An audio-visual presentation was replayed every 15 minutes, providing attendees with information on the proposed action, the history of the project, and the scoping process.

Attendees wanting to submit an oral comment on the scope of the EIS, or those wanting to hear the oral comments made by other attendees, were able to do so in the second meeting room (the public comment room). Attendees wanting to submit an oral comment first registered their name at the entrance to the public comment room and were then called in turn to speak to the Hearing Officer. Oral comments were accepted between 5:30 PM and 8:00 PM. A court stenographer recorded each individual oral comment.
