Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 70 / Tuesday, April 13, 2010 / Notices sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES Issues initially identified for the proposed mining of the Dairy Syncline phosphate leases include potential effects on: Groundwater and surface water quantity and quality; wildlife and their habitats; livestock grazing; wetlands and riparian habitat; recreation; socio-economics; Native American rights, treaties, and land uses; inventoried roadless areas; visual resources; and cumulative effects. The EIS will analyze the Proposed Action and the No Action Alternative. Other alternatives may consider: Alternative access road(s); alternative tailings pond locations; alternatives to the land sale with mitigation and land exchange; use of conveyors to transport ore to the existing mill; revising the layout or sequencing of the proposed mining facilities; different methods for reducing potential impacts from overburden handling; and other alternatives that could provide mitigation for potential impacts. The tentative EIS project schedule is as follows: • Begin Public Scoping Period and Meetings: Winter/Spring 2010. • Estimated date for Draft EIS and associated comment period: Fall 2011. • Final EIS Publication: June 2013. • Record of Decision: August 2013. At least four ‘‘open-house’’ style public scoping meetings will be held which will include displays explaining the project and providing a forum for commenting on the project. Meetings are currently planned for Pocatello, Fort Hall, Georgetown, and Soda Springs, Idaho. The dates, times, and locations of the public scoping meetings will be announced in mailings and public notices issued by the BLM (see contact information above). The BLM and FS are seeking information and written comments from Federal, State, and local agencies as well as Tribal entities, individuals and organizations interested in, or affected by, the Proposed Action or Alternatives. To assist the BLM and FS in identifying issues and concerns related to the Proposed Action or Alternatives, comments for scoping, and later for the Draft EIS, should be as specific as possible.
