Geothermal EIS Public Meeting in Seattle July 28th, 5:30 - 7:30

The BLM and Forest Service will hold one of 13 public meetings in Seattle on July 28, 2008 at the University Branch of the Seattle Public Library, (5009 Roosevelt Way, N.E. - just north of the University of Washington).

The preferred Alternative in the Draft PEIS considers all public lands and National Forest System lands with potential for geothermal development available for leasing except those that are withdrawn or administratively closed to geothermal leasing. The Draft PEIS also evaluates another alternative based on public input gained during scoping that would limit geothermal leasing for electrical generation to areas near transmission lines.

Written comments on the Draft PEIS may be submitted by any of three methods:
- e-mail - geothermal_EIS@blm.gov
