Privacy Policies below before submitting comments.
Comment Purpose
The purpose of inviting the public
comment is to inform the project team about issues that are
important to the public. It also allows the public to help shape the
development and outcome of the project. We welcome all comments.
Each comment received is reviewed by the project team members and
becomes part of the project's official public record. However, the
project team is not soliciting public comment as a means to measure
the degree of public support for the project; your comment is not a
"ballot." For your comment to be of value to the project team,
please be sure it contains ideas, suggestions, recommendations, or
experiences that relate to the outcome of this project.
Timeliness of Reporting Comments on the
Web Site
The web site is not set up to
instantaneously post incoming messages. Messages are reviewed to
ensure they comply with our Comment Acceptance Policy. The comment
is then analyzed and categorized for inclusion in the website
comment summary. This comment summary groups comments by topic to
facilitate a review of the issues raised in the comments on the
project. The full comment, as submitted, is retained as part of the
official public record. This process may take up to a week.
Comment Acceptance Policy
We welcome all comments and questions
about the project from members of the public both by direct email to
project team members and via the comments page of this web site. The
comments sent to the web site will be posted on the "Comments
Pages." Comments not related to project issues, made anonymously,
sent by proxy (written by someone different from the sender), or
those that contain rude or slanderous language will not be posted on
the web site. We will post comments we receive unless we also
receive a specific request not to post. You may include this request
in the body of your message. Where a reply is requested and contact
details provided, a personal reply will be made by telephone or
email.
Privacy Policy
In order for your comment to be posted on
our site, you must include personal identifiers with your message;
no anonymous comments will be accepted. You may also choose to
provide information for the project mailing list. These identifiers
and mailing addresses will not be published with the comment message
when it is posted on the website. The full comment, with personal
identifiers, is part of the official project record; therefore
subject to the freedom of information requests. All comments
received are available for review at the project sponsor's or DOWL
HKM's office. This information will be used solely by the project
team for project purposes, such as responses to questions, project
statistics, and project mailings. It will not be shared with anyone
or used for anything other than project purposes. The only
information about you that is automatically collected from comments
submitted by e-mail is the name of the domain from which you access
the internet (aol.com, gci.net, etc.), the date and time you access
our site, and the Internet address of the website from which you
linked directly to our site. This information does not contain any
personal identifiers; it is part of a systems log file.
