The PLT is authorized to establish Issue Task Forces to that include stakeholders and experts to address a specific issue. ITFs report their recommendations to the PLT after which it will be dissolved. The I-70 PEIS PLT has established two ITFs; one to recommend mitigation strategies for environmental impacts and another to recommend mitigation strategies for community related impacts. Both ITFs had a kick-off meeting on August 28, 2009 and are expected to meet during the Fall of 2009 and report out to the PLT in November 2009. Please click here to reach the ITF webpage.
