VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:49 Jul 18, 2017
The
Notice of Availability for the Mount
Hope Project Final EIS was published in
the Federal Register on October 12,
2012 (77 FR 62256). The BLM signed
the Record of Decision on November 16,
2012. The Eureka Moly, LLC (EML)
Mount Hope Project is a new open pit
and milling operation for the recovery of
molybdenum, located in central Nevada.
The project encompasses approximately
8,355 acres of new surface disturbance,
8,092 of which are on public lands
administered by the BLM, and 263 acres
on private lands controlled by EML.
On December 28, 2016, the United
States Court of Appeals for the Ninth
Circuit partially reversed and vacated
the BLM’s decision with respect to
certain aspects of the agency’s air
quality impact and cumulative air
impacts analysis. The court also
remanded to the BLM to clarify the
status of any public water reserves
(PWRs). The SEIS will provide updated
information and discussion regarding
certain air quality data and analysis
used in the original EIS, and will also
provide clarifying language regarding
PWRs potentially impacted by the
project.
The BLM will consult with Native
American tribes, all the stakeholders
included in the original EIS, and all
other interested parties.
