Availability of a Final Environmental
Impact Statement To Consider
Issuance of a Department of the Army
Permit Pursuant to Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act for Mingo Logan Coal
Company’s (Mingo Logan) Proposal To
Construct and Operate Spruce No. 1
Mine in Logan County, WV
Department of the Army, U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, DoD.
ACTION: Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: In accordance with the
requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
Huntington District has prepared a Final
Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS).
This FEIS evaluates potential impacts to
the natural, physical and human
environment as a result of the proposed
mining activities associated with the
Mingo Logan’s proposed Spruce No. 1
Mine. The USACE regulates this
proposed project pursuant to Section
404 of the Clean Water Act. The
proposed activity would involve the
discharge of dredged and fill material
into waters of the United States
associated with the proposed
construction and operation of a
bituminous coal mine. The document
was prepared following a public review
and a 60-day comment period on the
Draft Environmental Impact Statement
(DEIS), during which time a public
hearing meeting was held on May 1,
2006. The meeting was held at the Earl
Ray Tomlin Convention Center in
Chapmanville, Logan County, WV.
DATES: Submit comments by October 23,
2006.
ADDRESSES: Send written comments and
suggestions concerning this proposal to

Discharges
of dredged and fill material into waters
of the United States are regulated by the
USACE under Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act. Mingo Logan must also
address the proposed project’s
environmental impacts relative to other
regulations including the Clean Air Act,
other sections for the Clean Water Act,
Endangered Species Act and the Fish
and Wildlife Coordination Act. In
accordance with NEPA, the FEIS
evaluates practicable alternatives for the
USACE’s decision making process. As
required by NEPA, the USACE also
analyzes the ‘‘no action’’ alternative as
a baseline for gauging potential impacts.
Copies of the FEIS may be obtained by
contacting USACE Huntington District
Regulatory Branch at (304) 399–5210 or
(304) 399–5710.
Copies of the FEIS are also available
