As <br /> such, those jurisdictions and agencies were invited to attend the WEEE Project's Agency <br /> Scoping Meeting held on September 27, 2007, and to comment on the project's proposed <br /> range'6f alternatives to advance into the EIS (the Scoping comment period extension <br /> ended on November 8, 2007). <br /> My hope is that by acknowledging and addressing the proposed WEEE Project alignment <br /> along Reach 5 of the Channel, the Enhancement Project EA and the WEEE Project EIS <br /> can better be coordinated, and through that coordination, better decisions can flow from <br /> both projects. While design details for the proposed Amazon Channel EmX alignment <br /> have not yet been developed, I would be pleased to provide you with any information that <br /> LTD has that could aid you in addressing the WEEE Project in the Waterway Study EA. <br /> I would be pleased to meet and discuss the WEEE Project with you and other Waterway <br /> Study participants to discuss how the WEEE Project could be addressed within the <br /> Enhancement Project EA. Please contact me at 541- 682 -6203 if you would like a meeting <br /> or if you have any follow -up questions or concerns. <br /> Thank you for your consideration of this request. <br /> 7 ncerely, <br /> i <br /> Tom Schwetz <br /> WEEE Project Manager <br /> Director of Planning and Development <br /> Lane Transit District <br /> Cc: Byron Vanderpool, LCOG <br /> Col.
