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

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
