Master Water Control Manual Update Environmental Impact Statement for the Alabama – Coosa – Tallapoosa River Basin
Public Involvement
The Corps, Mobile District, scheduled four public scoping meetings in September 2008 as part of its review and update of the Master Water Control Manual for the Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa (ACT) River Basin. The public was invited to attend the scoping meetings which provided information on the Master Water Control Manual update process and gave the opportunity to receive input from the public about their issues and concerns regarding that process.
All four public meetings were held using an open house format, allowing time for participants to review specific information and to provide comments to the resource staff attending the meeting.
The formal scoping comment period ended on October 20, 2008.
