Recreation Area, 4564 Leatherwood
Road, Oneida, TN, 423–569–9778.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Big
South Fork National River and
Recreation Area is within the
Cumberland Plateau area and straddles
the Kentucky and Tennessee state line.
This region has been extensively mined
for coal since the early 1900s and
mining waste materials were typically
dumped near the mines. Surface and
ground water that comes in contact with
mine spoils or that is discharged from
the mines is often acidic and has
elevated (toxic) concentrations of heavy
metals. Contaminated mine drainage
pollutes aquatic systems and is
considered to be partly responsible for
a reduction in biological diversity of
lakes and streams in the Big South Fork
area.
The NPS developed mitigation and
treatment systems for nine specific sites
to a conceptual level during a prior
environmental assessment effort. During
that effort it was recommended that an
EIS be prepared due to the scope and
complexity of the project. As a result,
the NPS is now preparing a
Contaminated Mine Drainage Mitigation
and Treatment System EIS. The purpose
of this project is to address
contaminated mine drainage (CMD) at
nine sites within the McCreary County,
Kentucky portion of BISO and to create
a programmatic approach to considering
future treatment options at former
mining sites throughout Big South Fork
National River and Recreation Area.
These actions will address the need to
improve water quality in tributaries of
the Big South Fork River. As part of this
effort, the NPS will consider adjusting
or refining the preliminary engineering
plans to install mine drainage mitigation
and treatment systems at the nine sites
that were studied in the earlier
environmental assessment. A draft EIS
will be prepared and presented to the
public for review and comment,
followed by preparation and availability
of the Final Contaminated Mine
Drainage Mitigation and Treatment
System EIS.
A scoping brochure will be available
summarizing the purpose, need and
objectives of the EIS. Copies of that
information may be obtained by visiting
the NPS public comment and planning
Web site at https://
parkplanning.nps.gov/biso, or from the
Office of the Superintendent, Niki
Stephanie Nicholas, Big South Fork
National River and Recreation Area,
4564 Leatherwood Road, Oneida, TN,
423–569–9778.

scoping process, you may use any one

the campground and for deferred
maintenance in the park.
DATES: Collection of fees will be
effective 6 months after publication in
the Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: These fees
were determined through a
comparability study of similar sites in
the area at Federal, state, and private
recreation areas and will only be

In accordance with NPS public
involvement guidelines, the park
