At four junctures in the program, peer review comments will be solicited by SCDHS and SCDPW. Input will likely be sought on the following:

• Final Scope of Work and the proposed Monitoring Plan (Phases II and III),
• Results of the data compilation (Tasks 2-5),
• Proposed approach for analytical tasks
  (Tasks 6 through 8),
• Results of the study area refinement, impact assessment, and management alternatives (Tasks 6 through 8),
• Recommended management plan and draft final report.

Representatives of the Team would attend the initial Scoping meetings as described in Task 1 as well as the following meetings:

• Twelve Technical Advisory Committee Meetings
• Six Steering Committee meetings
• Two public information meetings
• Six presentations to the Suffolk County Legislature
• Two presentations to the Suffolk County Supervisors Association
• Two presentations to the Suffolk County Village Officials Association
• Working meetings with SCDHS and SCDPW

The Team will send a monitor to the monthly CAC meetings to ensure it is informed regarding activities of that group. Meeting summaries would be prepared by the Team that would include a summary of the types of presentations made at each meeting/presentation and all substantive comments, questions, and testimony. Where approved by the County, summaries would be posted on the Project Website (see Task 13).
