The session is set for March 19 from 7-9 p.m. at the Clay Town Hall at 4401 Route 31. The doors open at 6:30 p.m., the presentation begins at 7, and the public-comment portion starts at 7:30, the USACE said.

USACE, as the lead federal agency under the National Environmental Policy Act, has determined the proposed project “may significantly affect the quality of the human environment” and will prepare an environmental-impact statement to assess “potential social, economic, and environmental impacts,” per its meeting announcement.

The USACE says agencies, organizations, and members of the public can present comments or suggestions regarding the range of actions, alternatives, and potential impacts to be considered in the environmental-impact statement.
