SAMP Draft EA: Our running list of questions
The one thing we hear over and over from community members re. the SAMP Draft EA is "What do I say?" "How do I get started?" We get it. One way we want to help is to provide some of our questions, which we'll be updating frequently before submitting our full comment before the December 5th deadline. Think of this as STNI 'thinking out loud'. We don't want you to copy us (although you certainly are welcome to do so!) We just want you to get an idea of how we're reading the document. Remember: this is not 'homework' you have to complete in one sitting. You can do what we're doing: start an idea, then come back to it later.
Questions
1. This page is an excerpt from ...who was responsible for Appendix K Socioeconomics, Environmental Justice, and Children’s Health?
3. The Draft EA is dated October 2024. Yet Appendix K is dated 2018 (as are many companion documents in the Draft EA.) What work was done to bring those results up to the Draft EA publishing date? If such work was done, where in Appendix K are these updated results indicated?
