The public comment period for the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on the Northern Integrated Supply Project (NISP) has been extended to Oct. 4, 2018, according to a press release from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. On July 20, officials from the Corps of Engineers released the NISP FEIS — a document that outlines the impacts of the water-supply project, as well as three alternative projects. It also looks at the effects to the environment if no action alternative is approved.

At the time of its release, a public comment regarding the NISP FEIS had been set for 45 days, concluding on Sept. 4. However, Corps of Engineers officials said they have received a number of requests from the public to extend the comment period. After reviewing those requests, it was determined that an additional 30 days was warranted.

Interested individuals can read the NISP FEIS or make comments. Individuals can submit comments in writing to:

John Urbanic, NISP EIS Project Manager
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District
