    k. Status of environmental analysis: This application has been 
accepted for filing and is ready for environmental analysis at this 
time. Scoping meetings and a site visit were held on May 26, 1999. 
Representatives of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) 
and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) attended the site visit 
and the daytime meeting. The WDNR indicated that its water quality 
certificate, issued October 29, 1998, adequately addresses WDNR 
concerns. The FWS stated that the comments made in its November 28, 
1997 letter, are still applicable. No one attended the evening meeting. 
At the meetings, no additional issues or alternatives were identified 
beyond those summarized in our Scoping Document 1 and no written 
comments were received prior to the deadline for submitting scoping 
comments; therefore, a second scoping document has not been prepared.
