SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
purpose of the proposed action is to
address the socio-economic needs of the
Campo Band of Mission Indians through
the development and diversification of
the tribal economy. A brief description
and history of the proposed action,
alternatives, location, and areas of
environmental concern are provided
below. This notice provides a 75-day
public comment period and thereby
grants an automatic 30-day extension to
the normal 45-day public comment
period.
Background
The Campo Indian Reservation
consists of approximately 16,000 acres
in southeastern San Diego County, just
north of the United States/Mexico
border, approximately 45 miles inland
from the Pacific Ocean. The proposed
action is to approve an amended lease
and amended sublease to allow a 1,150acre portion of the Campo Indian
Reservation to be used for the purpose
of constructing and operating a solid
waste disposal facility. The solid waste
disposal facility would consist of a
VerDate Nov<24>2008
16:39 Feb 25, 2010
Jkt 220001
landfill waste disposal area, a well field
area, an access road and other support
facilities. The proposed Class III (nonhazardous) solid waste landfill would
occupy approximately 400 acres of the
1,150 acre lease area. An additional
approximately 200 acres would be
developed to support the landfill.
Supporting developments include the
site entrance facilities, screening berms,
utilities, surface recharge basins, and
leachate storage lagoons. The remaining
550 acres of the lease area that surround
the proposed solid waste landfill facility
would serve as an undeveloped buffer
area.
In the 1980s, the Campo Band entered
into a lease agreement with Muht-Hei,
Inc. (MHI), the Band’s economic
development corporation, pursuant to
which MHI would lease a portion of the
Campo Indian Reservation for the
purpose of constructing and operating a
solid waste landfill, recycling facility,
and composting facility. In 1989, the
Campo Band authorized MHI to enter
into a sublease with Mid-American
Waste Systems, Inc. (MAWS) for the
development of that project. The Campo
Band requested that the BIA approve the
lease and sublease for the proposed
project. An Environmental Impact
Statement was prepared by BIA in
accordance with the requirements of the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) to evaluate the environmental
impacts of the proposed project prior to
determining whether the proposed
leases should be approved. An FEIS was
released on November 24, 1992. The
U.S. Department of the Interior issued a
ROD on April 27, 1993, approving the
lease between the Campo Band and MHI
and sublease between MHI and MAWS
for the proposed solid waste facility. On
April 5, 1994, CEPA issued a Final
Authority to Construct Permit (ATC) to
MHI and MAWS to construct the
proposed solid waste landfill subject to
the conditions of the ROD and the ATC.
Subsequently, MAWS failed to proceed
with construction of the project and
MHI found MAWS in default of the
sublease terms. In early 2003, MHI
began negotiations with BLT
Enterprises, Inc. (BLT), of Oxnard, CA,
on the terms of a sublease to develop the
solid waste landfill described in the
FEIS. Those negotiations were
successfully concluded and the Campo
Band authorized MHI to enter into a
sublease with BLT on December 12,
2004.
The Campo Band requested the BIA
approve the amended lease between the
Band and MHI and the amended
sublease between MHI and BLT for the
proposed action. The BIA, in
consultation with the Campo Band,
PO 00000
Frm 00093
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

prepared this DSEIS to address changes
in the proposed action, relevant
information that has become available,
and circumstances that have changed in
the years since the FEIS was issued. The
FEIS included five alternatives to the
proposed action as follows: (1)
Alternative site 1; (2) Alternative site 2;
(3) Reduced waste stream at the
proposed site; (4) Reduced area of
disturbance at the proposed site; and (5)
the No-action alternative. For each of
the alternatives, the FEIS addressed
land resources, water resources, air
quality, living resources, cultural
resources, socioeconomics,
transportation, land use, resource use
patterns, noise and other values. The
DSEIS discusses aspects of the proposed
action, relevant information that has
subsequently become available, and
circumstances that have changed since
the FEIS was released in 1992 and any
change in environmental impacts
associated with those changes.
The proposed project would be
required to comply with 40 CFR part
258 (Criteria for Municipal Solid Waste
Landfills). Because the project proposes
to use alternative landfill design and
cover, it requires a site-specific
flexibility determination to ensure that
alternative designs and cover meet the
requirements of 40 CFR part 258. For
municipal solid waste landfills in
Indian Country, the EPA must makes
site-specific flexibility determinations.
EPA will hold a separate public hearing
on its proposed site-specific flexibility
determination after it receives and
reviews a complete application.

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the disposition of the Bureau of
Mines property, Twin Cities Research
Center Main Campus (Center),
Hennepin County, Minnesota. On
January 15, 2010, the Midwest Regional
Director approved the ROD for the
project. As soon as practicable, the NPS
will begin to implement the preferred
alternative contained in the final EIS.
The Department of the Interior
(Department) selected Alternative D
(Modification of Land, Structures, or
Other Improvements by the Federal
Government Prior to Conveyance or
Retention of the Center), the preferred
alternative, as described in the final EIS
for the disposition of the Center issued
in December 2009.
Under Alternative D, the Federal
Government will manage and bear the
cost of modification for all or part of the
land, structures, or other improvements
prior to conveyance or retention of the
Center. Following completion of the
modifications, the Federal Government
will dispose of the Center property
through a transfer to a university or
nonfederal government entity without
conditions, or a transfer to a university
or nonfederal government entity with
conditions, or will retain the property.
The Department also selected the open
space/park land use scenario that will
convert the Center property to open
space and natural areas where the focus
will be on restoration and use of the
natural environment. This will be
accomplished by removing some or all
buildings, structures, and roadways.
Nonnative plant species will be
identified and removed. Native
vegetation will be planted and the site
naturalized to recreate the historic
characteristics of an open oak savanna,
prairie-type setting typical to this
vicinity.
The Department—after consideration
of the findings of the EIS, the review of
responses received on the request for
proposals for future use of the Center
property, and the fact that the Center
property is located within the
Mississippi National River and
Recreation Area (MNRRA) boundary—
determined that future management
authority will be transferred to the NPS.
The ROD includes a statement of the
decision made, synopses of other
alternatives considered, the basis for the
decision, a description of the
environmentally preferable alternative,
a finding on impairment of park
resources and values, and an overview
of public involvement in the
decisionmaking process.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to § 102(2)(C) of the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (Pub. L. 91–190, as amended), and
the Council on Environmental Quality
Regulations (40 CFR part 1500–1508),
the Department of the Interior, National
Park Service, has prepared a Final
Environmental Impact Statement (Final
EIS) identifying and evaluating three
alternatives for redeveloping the
Yosemite Institute Environmental
Education Campus in Yosemite National
Park, California. Yosemite Institute (YI)
is a non-profit park partner which has
provided environmental education in
Yosemite since 1971, and since 1973
has been based at the former Civilian
Conservation Corps (CCC) camp at
Crane Flat. The Final EIS for the
proposed new campus identifies and
analyzes two ‘‘action’’ alternatives and a
‘‘no-action’’ alternative. The full
spectrums of foreseeable environmental
consequences are assessed and suitable
mitigation strategies are considered; an
‘‘environmentally preferred’’ course of
action is also identified. Concurrently,
completion of the EIS process will fulfill
public review requirements of § 106 of
the National Historic Preservation Act.
Range of Alternatives: Under
Alternative 1 (No Action), there would
be no change in the environmental
education program, location, or
conditions at the Crane Flat campus.
Necessary maintenance and repairs
would continue, but no major
improvements, rehabilitation of
facilities, or construction of new
buildings would occur. There would be
no change in the number of overnight
accommodations at Crane Flat (76
student bunks and 8 staff beds). The
overall number of students in the park
