Should an appeal of the adequacy of the Pleasant Harbor SEIS be filed, EA staff is available to assist the County at the appeal hearing.

The actual Final SEIS publication date will depend upon Jefferson County's review schedule and the extent and nature of their comments on the preliminary documents.
