A notice of intent was printed in five major newspapers as required by law. 

 In addition, four separate meetings took place statewide to allow the public to 

 comment on the Environmental Notification Form. 



For this project, a Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) has been established 

 pursuant to the Massachusetts Environment Protection Agency (MEPA) regulations 

 to assist both the State Reclamation and Mosquito Control Board and MEPA in 

 finalizing a scope and in reviewing data prior to publication of a final impact 

 report. 



Although the CAC Committee has met several times this year and has pro- 

 posed a scope, a final scope has not been issued by the Secretary of 

 Environmental Affairs. It is anticipated that a final scope will be issued 

 before the end of 1984. 



Once a final scope is issued, the procedure for selecting a contractor will 

 begin and it is expected that a impact report will be prepared by the end of 

 1985.
