Scoping Comments

The public, stakeholders, and federally recognized tribes are invited to comment on the scope of the SEIS/OEIS, including identifying potential alternatives or issues that should be addressed in the supplemental NEPA analysis, relaying environmental concerns, identifying historic in-water properties, and providing information or analysis relevant to the Proposed Action or the project’s potential to affect historic in-water properties pursuant to Section 106 of the NHPA. The Navy and Coast Guard are accepting comments during a 45-day scoping period from Dec. 5, 2025, to Jan. 19, 2026. The comment period includes an additional 15 calendar days (from the typical 30 days) to allow the public more time to review and comment during the holiday season.

Substantive comments will be considered under NEPA and pursuant to Section 106 of the NHPA and may be submitted via the project website or by mail to:

Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Northwest 
Attention: NWTT SEIS/OEIS Project Manager

Before You Comment!

“Substantive” comments, in the context of an environmental analysis, are comments on the analysis that contain practical importance, value, or effect. Submitting substantive comments on the Proposed Action is a critical aspect of the public involvement process.

The most effective comments are those that provide useful information, such as:

  • Any peer-reviewed scientific literature that should be considered in the analysis.
  • Something that should be clarified.
  • A substantially different alternative that meets the purpose and need statement and has not been considered.
  • An error in analysis that may affect the outcome (applicable once the Draft SEIS/OEIS is released).
  • New information that would change the analysis and conclusions (applicable once the Draft SEIS/OEIS is released).

Thank you for commenting!
