A presentation on the study will start at 5 p.m. followed by time to review study poster boards and ask questions about the study.

The purpose of the meeting is to provide the public an opportunity to learn more about the project alternatives and to make comments on the alternatives or the feasibility study, said USACE.

The USACE plans to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement to evaluate environmental impacts from reasonable project alternatives and to determine the potential for significant impacts.
