Download as PDF 10242 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 44 / Wednesday, March 7, 2007 / Notices The BLM signed a Record of Decision (ROD) for Newmont Mining Corporation’s South Operations Area Project Amendment located on the Carlin Trend in northeastern Nevada, on July 26, 2002. That ROD authorized Newmont to mine an additional 350 feet below what had been previously authorized and to expand 139 acres aerially, to expand waste rock disposal facilities and leach facilities, to continue dewatering and ground water discharge to Maggie Creek, and to construct associated ancillary facilities. Four years of legal review resulted in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit partially reversing the ROD. In response, the BLM will review and update the cumulative effects analyzed in Chapter 4 of the 2002 EIS and issue a SEIS, along with a new ROD. Comments, including names and street addresses of respondents, will be available for public review at the above address during regular business hours 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays, and may be published as part of the SEIS. Before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, be advised that your entire comment—including your personal identifying information—may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold from public review your personal identifying information, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.

In addition, the BLM is proposing a comprehensive travel management plan establishing a transportation system of designated roads and trails within the Dry Creek area. The proposed action does not affect: • Travel decisions in the Gunnison Gorge National Conservation Area. • North Delta OHV Play Area, which will be addressed in subsequent travel management planning. • Gunnison Travel Interim Restrictions Plan Amendment area, which will be addressed in subsequent travel management planning. • Other designations such as ‘‘Limited to Existing’’ and ‘‘Limited to Designated’’ areas in the RMPs. These areas will be addressed in subsequent travel management planning. Preliminary issues and management concerns have been identified by BLM personnel, other agencies, and in meetings with individuals and user groups. They represent the BLM’s knowledge to date on the existing issues and concerns with current management. Some of these issues and concerns include: • Impacts to other public land users and adjacent private landowners; • Impacts to wildlife habitat; SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00132 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 10243 • Impacts to water quality, cultural sites, vegetation, including riparian and wetland areas, and soils; and • Identification of recreational opportunities. These issues, along with others that may be identified through public participation, will be considered in the planning process. The public is encouraged to help identify issues and concerns during the scoping phase. The purpose of the public scoping process is to determine relevant issues that will influence the scope of the environmental analysis and management alternatives. These issues will also guide the planning process. You may submit comments on issues and planning criteria in writing to the BLM at any public scoping meeting, or by using one of the methods listed in the ADDRESSES section above. The minutes and list of attendees for each scoping meeting will be available to the public and open for 30 days after the meeting to any participant who wishes to clarify the views he or she expressed. An interdisciplinary approach will be used to develop the plan amendment in order to consider the variety of resource issues and concerns identified. Disciplines involved in the planning process will include specialists with expertise in rangeland management, outdoor recreation, law enforcement, archaeology, wildlife and fisheries, lands and realty, hydrology, soils, and vegetation. Notification of the planning process will be made to the Governor of Colorado, County Commissioners, local tribes, and potentially affected members of the public.
