The Western Placer Waste Management Authority (WPWMA) is the lead agency and will prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Renewable Placer: Waste Action Plan (proposed project), which is described in detail in the attached Notice of Preparation (NOP). In compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code [PRC] Section 21000 et seq.), WPWMA is distributing the attached NOP to the Office of Planning and Research, each responsible agency, interested parties, and federal agencies involved in approving the project, and to trustee agencies responsible for natural resources affected by the project.

Agencies and interested parties may provide WPWMA with written comments on topics to be addressed in the EIR for the project. Because of time limits mandated by State law, comments should be provided no later than 5:00 pm on April 15, 2019. Please direct all written comments to the following address:

Western Placer Waste Management Authority
3013 Fiddyment Road
Roseville, CA 95747
Attention: Stephanie Ulmer
Email: NOPcomments@RenewablePlacer.com

Agencies that will need to use the EIR when considering permits or other approvals for the proposed project should provide the name of a contact person. Comments provided by email should include “Renewable Placer: Waste Action Plan NOP” in the subject line and the name and address of the commenter in the email body.

All written comments pertaining to environmental issues received during the NOP comment period will be considered and addressed in the Draft EIR, which is anticipated to be available for public review in late spring 2020.

A Scoping Meeting will be held to present the proposed project and to solicit input from the public and responsible agencies on the content of the Draft EIR at the WPWMA’s administrative offices, located at 3013 Fiddyment Road, Roseville, CA 95747, on April 1 at 6:00 pm.
