Scoping Process In compliance with State CEQA Guidelines, the City of Santa Ana has taken steps to maximize opportunities to participate in the environmental process. During preparation of the Draft FIR, various federal, State, regional and local governmental agencies and other interested parties were contacted to solicit comments and inform the public of the proposed project. This included the distribution of the IS/NOP by certified mail in October 2008. The project was described, potential environmental effects associated with project implementation were identified, and agencies and the public were invited to review and comment on the IS/NOP. The close of the NOP comment period was December 1, 2008. The IS/NOP and comment letters received during the IS/NOP review period are included in Appendix A of this Draft EIR. Agencies, organizations, and interested parties not contacted or who did not respond to the request for comments about the project during the IS/NOP public review period have the opportunity to comment during the 45 -day public review period on the Draft EIR.
