construct associated facilities such as
parking lots, power lines, etc.
Development and recovery of the
uranium consists of dissolving
underground uranium-bearing minerals
into solution and then bringing the
solution to the surface facility for
concentration. The Lost Creek ISR
Project is located about 40 miles
northwest of Rawlins, Wyoming, in
Sweetwater County.
The project is located in the following
area:

The areas described aggregate 3,737
acres of BLM-managed land. The total
project area, including both BLMmanaged and State lands, is
approximately 4,377 acres. The BLM
would approve approximately 345 acres
of actual surface disturbance. Most of
the surface disturbance would be related
to construction of pads for wells used to
extract uranium in solution from the
site. The plant site would comprise
approximately 10 acres, including
parking space for 50–60 employees.
Multiple subsurface ore bodies ranging
in depth from 300–700 feet below the
surface are found at the site. Each of the
three separate production areas
containing uranium would be
established and mined, one at a time. It
is expected that mining operations
would last about 8 years. An estimated
additional 3 years would be required for
startup and closure of the site for a total
project length of 11 years. A proposed
final reclamation plan for the project
area has been submitted. All surface
facilities would be removed when the
project is completed and the land recontoured to near predisturbance
condition and re-vegetated.
The BLM has selected the Drying
Yellowcake On-Site Alternative as the
preferred alternative. Under this
alternative, a yellowcake drying and
packing facility would be constructed
and operated at the permit area. As with
VerDate Mar<15>2010

the proposed action, yellowcake slurry
(30–50 percent solids) would be
produced; however, the slurry would be
filter-pressed to remove additional
water, dried, and packaged on-site.
Housing the drying-packing facility
within the processing plant would
reduce shipments from the site,
resulting in fewer transportation-related
impacts, fewer wildlife disturbances,
and cleaner air quality.
The Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare
an Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) was published in the Federal
Register on February 11, 2011 (76 FR
7877). The scoping comments received
in response to the NOI were used during
the preparation of the Draft EIS to help
identify impacts expected as a result of
the proposed action and to develop the
No Action Alternative, the ‘‘NotFencing-The-Pattern-Areas’’ Alternative,
and the ‘‘Drying-Yellowcake-On-Site’’
Alternative. A 45-day comment period
for the Draft EIS ran from April 27,
2012, through June 11, 2012, as
announced in the Federal Register on
April 27, 2012 (77 FR 25193). The BLM
prepared the Final EIS in coordination
with the State of Wyoming, Sweetwater
County, and Carbon County, which
participated as formal cooperating
agencies during the EIS process. The
BLM also closely coordinated with the
United States Fish and Wildlife Service
and the Environmental Protection
Agency.
Comments received from the public
on the Draft EIS and internal BLM
review were considered and
incorporated as appropriate into the
Final EIS. Public comments resulted in
the addition of clarifying text, but did
not significantly change proposed
decisions.
