    On September 30, 2004, the Commission staff mailed the Stanislaus

environmental consequences of the construction, operation, and 
maintenance of the Stanislaus River Projects in California. The DEIS

recommendations, and the no-action alternative. All of the Beardsley/
Donnells Project, most of the Spring Gap-Stanislaus Project, and all of 
the Donnell-Curtis Transmission Line Project are located within the 
Stanislaus National Forest.
    Two public meetings are scheduled for Tuesday, November 16, 2004, 
from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. (PST) and 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. (PST) at the 
Best Western Sonora Oaks Conference Center, 19551 Hess Ave, Sonora, CA 
95370. At these meetings, resource agency personnel and other 
interested persons will have the opportunity to provide oral and 
written comments and recommendations regarding the DEIS for the 
Commission's public record. These meetings will be recorded by an 
official stenographer.
