The statement that the committee opposed PMAR -- the committee asked for scoping before an EIS; this after a year of talking to people and gathering information from government officials and the community and determining the County was not being forthcoming and was not going to talk with the community until the project was already underway.

Aloha Dr Weatherford:

I'm curious, what exactly is scoping? Is it absolutely necessary for it to be done prior to an EIS? Or can it be contained within the EIS?

I'm also curious how it was determined that the County was not being forthcoming? What exactly did the County do - or didn't do? What caused the committee to have a suspicion that the County was not going to communicate with the community until the project was underway?

Not taking sides here - I'm really, really curious.

Thanks
