Important Guidance

• Submissions must relate specifically to the DND Relocated Infrastructure Project.
• Comments about the overall pumped storage project should not be directed to this contact.
• The relocated infrastructure project would only proceed if the pumped storage project were approved, but it is being assessed as a separate federal action.

Why This Matters

This assessment represents a separate federal decision-making process focused on the environmental effects of relocating military infrastructure that would be displaced by the proposed pumped storage project. Public participation helps ensure that environmental impacts, transparency, and accountability remain central to this review.
