Tetra Tech has extensive experience facilitating public meetings for scoping and draft document <br />hearings including preparing and conducting presentations. <br />Final Environmental Document: Upon receipt of public comments on the draft public document, Tetra Tech <br />will organize and bracket each comment for easy review by the City. Tetra Tech will meet with the City to <br />discuss the appropriate response to substantive comments.
