From 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM (EDT) a Technical Conference will be held. This meeting will be attended by FERC, US Fish and Wildlife Service, NIPSCO, SFLECC, and other resource agencies. Discussed will be the various groups’ positions and science. You MUST register to attend this meeting, please call Mark Pawlowski at (202) 502-6052 or send an email to mark.pawlowski@ferc.gov by May 6, 2016.
From 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM (EDT) a Public Meeting will be held. FERC’s staff is providing you with another opportunity for comment, this time on the Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA). A copy of the DEA may be viewed or downloaded at www.sflecc.org. You DO NOT have to register for this meeting.
Anyone may attend either or both meetings. While you can hear the position and science of the various groups invited to the Technical Conference and those invited can see the number of concerned people, the audience will not be allowed to speak.
