Download as PDF cprice-sewell on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES 69676 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 224 / Wednesday, November 19, 2008 / Notices The revised proposal for the Emigrant Mine would include developing and operating an open pit mine, constructing a waste rock disposal facility, storing oxide waste in mined out areas of the pit, developing an oxide heap leach pad, constructing ancillary facilities, temporarily rerouting intermittent stream and flows in the pit area, and concurrent reclamation. Proposed mining operations would last approximately 10 years through 2017. Approximately 1,172 acres of public land and 260 acres of private land would be disturbed. The issues analyzed in the DEIS include potential direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts to wildlife and cultural resources, the potential for waste rock, heap leach, and pit walls to produce acid rock drainage or heavy metals, and diversion of an unnamed drainage. In addition, the following resources are analyzed: geology and minerals, Native American religious concerns, air quality, paleontology, lands and realty, fisheries and aquatic resources, range management, vegetation, soils, visual resources, recreation and wilderness, weeds, social and economic values, environmental justice, and threatened, endangered, candidate, and sensitive species. The DEIS analyzes the proposed action and no action alternatives. Other alternatives considered and reasons why they were eliminated from detailed analysis are discussed. Measures to avoid or minimize environmental impacts and to assure the proposed action does not result in undue or unnecessary degradation of public lands are included. This DEIS can be reviewed and/or downloaded from the BLM Elko Web page at https://www.blm.gov/nv/st/ en/fo/elko_field_office.html. The BLM is asking the public to comment on the DEIS.
