style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Even though it's more than likely that the Supplemental
EIS/EIR process will be halted by the recent 9th Circuit Court of Appeals
decision, we already scheduled this hearing on the Public Draft TRINITY RIVER
FISHERY RESTORATION SUPPLEMENTAL EIR. For a variety of reasons, we tried
to hold the Planning Commission hearing in June and then July, but had to change
it to August. Please don't get too excited about the possibility of the
SEIR continuing, this is just something we need to get closure on.

best guess is that the SEIS/EIR is a dead document, but I've seen nothing
official yet. It could also change if the plaintiffs are successful in
their appeals. </SPAN></P>
