where the pipeline route crosses the
Gila River.
A 2.2-mile segment of the FlorenceKelvin Highway, a Pinal Countymaintained roadway, would require
realignment as a result of constructing
the facility. A 2.1-mile section of the
road would be relocated north of its
current alignment.
The proposed facility would require
the relocation of the San Carlos
Irrigation Project power line which
currently passes though the northern
portion of the facility footprint. An
approximately 2.3-mile segment of the
power line will be moved north of the
TSF and rerouted around the western
portion of the project area,
approximately following the proposed
and existing alignment of the FlorenceKelvin Highway. The planned rerouted
power line corridor is approximately 3.2
miles in length.
3. Issues: There are several potential
environmental issues that will be
addressed in the Draft EIS. Additional
issues may be identified during the
scoping process. Issues initially
identified for evaluation in the Draft EIS
include:
1. Visual/aesthetics impacts from
landform alterations,
2. air quality impacts from
construction and operation of the
facility,
3. cultural resources (prehistoric and
historic resources),
4. surface water hydrology and
quality,
5. groundwater hydrology and quality,
6. potential land use incompatibility,
7. noise impacts from construction
and operation,
8. Impacts to recreation resources,
9. socioeconomic effects,
10. soils and geotechnical stability
issues,
11. transportation network impacts,
and
12. biological impacts (vegetation,
wildlife, waters of the U.S.).
4. Alternatives: Several alternatives to
the proposed action are being
considered in the Draft EIS. The Draft
EIS will include a co-equal level of
analysis of the No-Action and project
alternatives considered. Currently, there
are five potential off-site project
alternatives being considered along with
the proposed action and two variations
of the proposed action. These
alternatives will be further formulated
and developed during the scoping
process. Additional alternatives may be
developed during scoping that will also
be considered in the Draft EIS.
5. Scoping: The Corps will conduct
two public scoping meetings for the
proposed Ray Mine Tailings Storage
