ACTION: Notice of availability.
SUMMARY: In accordance with the
National Environmental Policy Act of
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
1969 (NEPA, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), the
Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has
prepared a Draft Environmental Impact
Statement (DEIS) for the proposed
Blackfoot Bridge Mine and by this
Notice is announcing the opening of the
comment period.
DATES: To ensure comments will be
considered, the BLM must receive
written comments on the Blackfoot
Bridge Mine DEIS within 45 days
following the date the Environmental
Protection Agency publishes the Notice
of Availability in the Federal Register.
The BLM will announce future meetings
or hearings and any other public
involvement activities at least 15 days
in advance through public notices,
media news releases, and/or mailings.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: P4
Production, LLC (P4), a subsidiary of
Monsanto Company, holds mineral
leases issued by the United States
granting them exclusive rights to
develop phosphate minerals in the
Blackfoot Bridge area. P4 has submitted
a Mine and Reclamation Plan (MRP) for
BLM to consider the environmental
impacts that may occur from
implementation of the MRP, including
the possible modification of existing
leases. P4 must receive approval of the
MRP and obtain additional Federal and
state permits prior to mining under the
proposed mine plan. The BLM has
prepared a DEIS to evaluate effects of
the Blackfoot Bridge Mine upon the
human environment, including the
potential effects of selenium and other
contaminants, and to consider
appropriate mitigation measures.
As required by the Mineral Leasing
Act of 1920 and 43 CFR Part 3590, the
BLM is to evaluate and respond to the
MRP from P4 that proposes the recovery
of phosphate ore reserves contained
within Federal Phosphate Leases I–
PO 00000
Frm 00050
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
41157
05613 and I–013709. The BLM is
required to evaluate the MRP,
considering the no action alternative
and other reasonable alternatives, and
issue decisions related to development
of the phosphate leases and whether to
modify the existing leases. The U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers is required to
evaluate and respond to P4’s application
for a permit under Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act that is needed to
implement the MRP. The DEIS provides
the analysis upon which the BLM and
other involved agencies can base such
decisions. The Proposed Action is
needed to ensure economically viable
development of the phosphate
resources, as required by Federal law
and the Federal leases, and to allow the
lessee to exercise its right to develop the
leases mentioned above.
The Proposed Action consists of P4’s
MRP as revised in 2008. The Blackfoot
Bridge Mine would be developed using
open pit mining methods to extract
phosphate ore that would be hauled
about 8 miles to P4’s existing Soda
Springs elemental phosphorus plant for
processing. Ore would be recovered
from three separate mine pits called the
North, Mid and South Pits. Mining
would begin in the Mid Pit, followed by
the North Pit and South Pit. Mining of
the North Pit and portions of the Mid Pit
are predicted to extend below
groundwater level and would require
dewatering during portions of the 17year mine life. All overburden would
either be backfilled into mined-out
portions of the mine pits or placed in
the external East Overburden Pile (EOP)
or Northwest Overburden Pile (NWOP).
Other mine-related facilities would
include an ore stockpile, a tipple (truck
loading facility), an ore truck
turnaround loop, an equipment yard,
two water management ponds, topsoil
stockpiles, roads and sediment control
structures. Approximately 739 acres of
surface are expected to be disturbed
over the life of the project, with about
640 acres (85 percent) planned to be revegetated. Fifteen percent of the mine
site would involve residual highwalls
that cannot be re-vegetated.
As phosphate mining has developed
in southeast Idaho, increasing concern
for surface and groundwater
contamination has led to the
development of various Best
Management Practices (BMPs) to control
potential selenium migration from the
mines. An impermeable or lowpermeability cover over external
overburden piles and over pit backfilled
areas is a way to reduce infiltration into
the materials, and thus, reduce the
potential leaching of selenium from the
materials.
