Public outreach

Outreach efforts are essential to the early identification and resolution of potential project issues. The Company will perform public outreach to inform each land use authority about the project, and create opportunities for affected stakeholders to have their questions and concerns addressed. Notifications of public outreach opportunities will be mailed out to stakeholders and posted on this site. Additionally, this website will be updated throughout the project with various pieces of key information. 

Any questions or comments about the project can be directed to pacpmo@pacificorp.com and be sure to note “Black Rock to Sigurd” in the subject line. Input and feedback are valuable to us as we work through the planning and permitting phases of the project. Please include your contact information and preferred contact method in your correspondence.
