SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: McEwen
Mining Inc. (McEwen) proposes to
develop a gold mine in the southwest
portion of the Roberts Mountains,
approximately 30 miles northwest of
Eureka, Nevada. The proposed McEwen
Gold Bar Mine Project (Project) consists
of a mining Plan of Operations and four
ROW grant authorizations to be
analyzed in a single NEPA analysis
document. Mining would occur from
the existing Gold Pick and Gold Ridge
pits and the proposed Cabin Creek
North and South pits. Additional
disturbance would be result from
activities associated with gold mining
operations, including waste rock
disposal areas, crusher and ore stockpile
pad, growth media stockpiles, process
ponds, haul roads, access roads and
power lines, heap leach facility,
ancillary facilities, and diversion
channels and sediment basins. Total
proposed Project disturbance would be
approximately 1,300 acres, including
disturbance associated with the ROWs
(consisting of approximately 1,137 acres
of surface disturbance on public land
and 163 acres of surface disturbance on
private land controlled by McEwen, as
well as other private land owners); 366
acres of the total disturbance would
occur on areas disturbed by previous
mining operations. The proposed
Project would take up to 17 years to
complete, including: A year of prestripping and construction, 8 years of
mining, 4 years of reclamation following
mine closure, and 4 years of postreclamation monitoring. The proposed
VerDate Sep<11>2014

pit depths would not intercept
groundwater. No pit dewatering would
be necessary and no pit lakes are
expected to form after mining
operations end. The Project is expected
to employ 151 individuals comprised of
90 contractors and 61 staff.
Mt. Wheeler Power requested a ROW
grant authorization to supply needed
power to the Project. McEwen has
requested three ROW grant
authorizations for the following: 1)
Primary access along the Atlas Haul
Road; 2) Employee transport and
emergency secondary access along
North Roberts Creek Road and GB
Process Road; and 3) A water supply
pipeline.
The Gold Bar Project boundary
contains 916.5 acres of Greater SageGrouse Preliminary Priority Habitat
(PPH) on BLM-managed public lands.
The total mine disturbance, including
the right-of-way (ROW), affecting
Greater Sage-Grouse habitat on public
land is 294 acres of PPH and 36 acres
of Preliminary General Habitat (PGH).
Since 2013, BLM biologists at the Mount
Lewis Field Office have coordinated
with the Nevada Department of Wildlife
and the BLM State Office regarding Gold
Bar’s ROW and disturbance to Greater
Sage-Grouse habitat. Collectively, the
organizations formulated best
management practices for Greater SageGrouse and other wildlife species and
developed measures to offset the
potential disturbance associated with
the project to benefit Greater SageGrouse habitat. For example, as a result
of this collaboration, the proposed
project’s power line was re-routed to use
pre-existing routes in order to minimize
effects to Greater Sage-Grouse habitat.
These and other measures, including
compliance with the Nevada and
Northeastern California Greater SageGrouse Land Use Plan Amendment, if
finalized, will be among the issues
analyzed in the EIS.
The purpose of the public scoping
process is to determine relevant issues
that will influence the scope of the
environmental analysis, including
alternatives, and guide the process for
developing the EIS. At present, the BLM
has identified the following preliminary
issues: Water resources; air quality;
vegetation resources (including noxious
weeds); wildlife (including migratory
birds and Greater Sage-Grouse); special
status species; grazing management;
land use and access; aesthetics (noise
and visual); cultural resources;
geological resources; minerals; soils;
recreation; social and economic values;
hazardous materials; Native American
cultural concerns; and wild horses.

The BLM will utilize and coordinate
the NEPA scoping process to help fulfill
the public involvement requirements
under the National Historic Preservation
Act (NHPA) (54 U.S.C. 306108) as
provided in 36 CFR 800.2(d)(3). The
information about historic and cultural
resources within the area potentially
affected by the proposed Project will
assist the BLM in identifying and
evaluating impacts to such resources in
the context of both NEPA and NHPA.
The BLM will consult with Indian
tribes on a government-to-government
basis in accordance with Executive
Order 13175 and other policies. Tribal
concerns, including impacts on Indian
trust assets and potential impacts to
cultural resources, will be given due
consideration. Federal, State, and local
agencies, along with tribes and other
stakeholders that may be interested in or
affected by the proposed Project that the
BLM is evaluating, are invited to
participate in the scoping process and,
if eligible, may request or be requested
by the BLM to participate in the
development of the environmental
analysis as a cooperating agency.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other

While you can ask us in your comment
