Th« general purpose of the Corridor Advisory Board is to <br />provide input to the ri"oject development process from a <br />diverse section of people. This organization will allow input <br />from municipal governments, city staffs, and the general <br />public. It is anticipated that these groups will <br />be loosely organized initially and that they will be allowed <br />latitude in defining their own function to a degree. Each <br />group will provide vital input to the project development <br />process but will not have specific decision making authority. <br />Location decisions will be achieved through the <br />environmental docnimentation process, in accordance with the <br />National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the Minnesota <br />Environmental Quality Board (MEQB). <br />This project will be developed in accordance with the <br />federal Two-Tiered Environmental Impact Statement process. <br />This will allow the earliest possible location decision to <br />be made so that the appropriate right of way can be protected. <br />The scoping process is anticipated to last approximately one <br />year. The Tier 1 EIS will take an additional one to two years. <br />The entire project development process normally takes from six <br />to ten years for a project of this magnitude. <br />March 28, 1990
