Notice of Re-Opening of Comment Period for the Draft Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area Management Plan and Draft Environmental Impact Statement, California, 45653-45654 [2010-19051]

Download as PDF erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 148 / Tuesday, August 3, 2010 / Notices In response to these proposals (1) The BLM will decide whether to approve the portion of the MMPO involving BLMadministered public land under BLM regulations at 43 CFR 3809; (2) the Forest Service will decide whether to approve the portion of the MMPO involving National Forest System lands under Forest Service regulations at 36 CFR part 228 subpart A; (3) the USACE will decide whether to issue a permit under section 404 of the CWA and USACE regulations at 33 CFR part 320 to discharge fill materials into waters of the United States; (4) the BLM will decide whether to amend the Challis RMP pursuant to Section 202 of FLPMA and BLM regulations at 43 CFR part 1600, and identify the public land involved for disposal; and (5) the BLM will decide whether to approve a land disposal action. The authorizations by the Forest Service for National Forest System lands and USACE may be required to implement the MMPO regardless of whether the BLM approves a land disposal action. If TCMC obtains title to all of the BLM-administered land within the mine area, the BLM’s approval of the MMPO would no longer be necessary because the BLM does not regulate mining operations on private land. On the other hand, if TCMC obtains title to only some of the BLM-administered land involved with the MMPO, then any continuing mining operations on BLMadministered land would require BLM authorization under 43 CFR part 3809. The purpose and need of the proposed actions are for (1) The BLM to respond to TCMC’s proposed MMPO, which would enable TCMC to continue reasonable development of the existing mine in compliance with BLM laws and regulations (FLPMA, 43 CFR 3809); (2) the Forest Service to similarly respond to the MMPO in compliance with Forest Service laws and regulations (Organic Act of 1897; 36 CFR 228, Subpart A); (3) the USACE to respond to TCMC’s application for a permit to discharge fill materials into waters of the United States, as necessary in the MMPO, in compliance with USACE laws and regulations (CWA, 33 CFR 320); (4) the BLM to consider amending the Challis RMP to allow a land disposal in compliance with Section 102 of FLPMA, and (5) the BLM to respond to TCMC’s proposal for a land exchange and determine if a public land disposal would be in the public interest pursuant to FLPMA. The No Action alternative (i.e., completion of mining and reclamation under the current mining plan of operations) and alternatives that consider the RMP amendment and VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:41 Aug 02, 2010 Jkt 220001 various aspects of the proposed MMPO and public land disposal will be analyzed. Alternatives identified to date for the MMPO include using different locations for waste rock storage and alternative reclamation measures. Alternatives identified to date for the possible public land disposal include exchange of private land for public land; how the public and private lands would be managed if these lands were exchanged, including analysis of potential impacts of conducting the mining operations identified in the proposed MMPO under the applicable statutory and regulatory authority; and possible variations in the amount of public land and/or restrictions on the public land that might be exchanged. The planning criteria for the RMP amendment would include that lands identified for disposal would serve the national interest and that newly acquired lands or interests in lands would be managed for their highest potential or for the purposes for which they were acquired. By this notice, the BLM is complying with the requirements in 43 CFR 1610.2(c) to notify the public of potential amendments to land use plans, predicated on the analysis in the EIS. The BLM will integrate the land use planning process with the NEPA process for the EIS. The BLM will utilize and coordinate the NEPA commenting process to satisfy the public involvement for section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (16 U.S.C. 470f) as provided for in 36 CFR 800.2(d)(3). The BLM is the lead Federal agency for the NEPA analysis process and preparation of the EIS. The BLM anticipates that the Forest Service, the USACE; the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, and the Idaho Department of will be cooperating agencies. Other cooperating agencies may be identified during the scoping process. Native American tribal consultation will be conducted in accordance with policy, and tribal concerns will be given due consideration, including impacts on Indian trust assets. Federal, State, and local agencies, along with other stakeholders that may be interested or affected by the proposed actions subject to the EIS are invited to participate in the scoping process and, if eligible, may request or be requested by the BLM to participate as a cooperating agency. The public is invited to submit comments and resource information as well as identify issues, concerns and alternatives to be analyzed in the EIS. Public input should be as specific as PO 00000 Frm 00054 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 45653 possible (i.e., clearly articulate concerns and contentions) to best assist in the NEPA process.
