ONCOR HCP/EIS Scoping Meetings

View in Español

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service intends to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to evaluate the potential impacts of alternatives to the proposed issuance of an Endangered Species Act (ESA) Section 10(a)(1)(B) Permit to Oncor Electric Delivery Company, LLC (Oncor) for incidental “take” of ten federally listed species from activities associated with maintenance and repair of existing facilities and installation and operation of new facilities within Oncor’s service area. A series of nine public scoping meetings located throughout Oncor’s service area are planned as shown below and the public comment period ends December 1, 2009.

The format for the scoping meetings will consist of an open house from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM that will provide an opportunity to learn about the proposed action, permit area, and species covered. The open house will include a presentation of the proposed action, summary of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process, and opportunity for presentation of oral or written comments from meeting participants. A court reporter will be present at each meeting. The primary purpose of these meetings and public comment period is to solicit suggestions and information on the scope of issues and alternatives to consider when drafting the EIS.
