SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
following information is provided as a
convenient synopsis for the public.
However, this synopsis is not a
substitute for review of the complete
DEIS. Commenters should review and
consider the complete DEIS in
providing comments regarding the
proposed action. If there are any
inconsistencies between this posting
and the DEIS, the DEIS controls.
The DEIS was prepared to assess the
impacts of implementing a mine
expansion at Smoky Canyon Mine, thus,
disclosing those impacts to the public
and agency decision makers.
The proposed extension of mining
operations, in Panels F and G, lies
within the Caribou-Targhee National
Forest, on surface administered by the
FS and on Federal phosphate leases
administered by the BLM under
authority of the Mineral Leasing Act of
1920. Mining, as proposed, would take
place on two Federal phosphate leases;
I–27512 and I–01441 including a lease
modification (enlargement) of I–27512.
These leases are adjacent to the existing
mine and were previously issued to
Simplot by competitive bid in January
of 2001 and October of 1950
respectively. The proposed action
includes the construction of two pits,
Panels F and G, and a haul road to
transport ore and employees between
the pits and existing facilities. Mining
would take place over an estimated 14
year period, with an additional two
years to complete final reclamation. The
environmental impacts of the proposed
action, six mining alternatives, one nomining alternative, and eight
transportation alternatives are analyzed
in the DEIS. Where necessary, site
specific mitigation measures have been
developed.
The BLM Idaho State Director, or
delegated official, will make a decision
regarding approval of the proposed
Mine & Reclamation Plan and the
proposed lease modifications. Decisions
will be informed by the EIS and any
recommendations the FS may have
