potentially significant impacts to human
health. Recent sampling conducted by
EPA indicates that off-highway vehicle
users in the project area are exposed to
substantially higher amounts of asbestos
than was assumed in the DEIS. EPA
recommends that BLM wait until EPA
completes its forthcoming exposure
evaluation, use it to recalculate the
health risk, and incorporate this
information into a Revised or
Supplemental EIS. The Revised or
Supplemental DEIS should also analyze
a full array of reasonable alternatives
and mitigation measures in order to to
avoid or reduce these impacts,
including complete closure of the area
and full dry season closure.
