Federal Register a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPR) on a safety standard
for table saw blade-contact injuries. 82
FR 22190. In January 2017, staff began
collecting additional information on
incident data identified in the National
Electronic Injury Surveillance System
(NEISS) for table saws to: (1) Obtain
information regarding the type of table
saws involved in the cases to generate
national estimates by saw type and
estimated risk of injury associated with
each table saw type; (2) gain information
regarding the type and usage pattern of
the blade guard; and (3) collect
additional injury and incident data.
On April 27, 2017, the Commission
held a decisional hearing on the NPR.
The Commission directed ‘‘staff to

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers
Intent To Prepare a Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement (DSEIS) for the Haile Gold Mine in Lancaster County, South
Carolina
AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, DoD.
ACTION: Notice of intent.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Charleston District intends
to prepare a Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (DSEIS)
to assess the likely social, economic and environmental effects of the
proposed expansion of an existing gold mine with the potential to
impact Waters of the United States near Kershaw in Lancaster County,
South Carolina. The DSEIS will assess potential effects of a range of
alternatives.
DATES: Public Scoping Meeting: A public scoping meeting has not been
scheduled; however, a local public notice will be issued by the
Charleston District, and a meeting announcement will be published in
local newspapers once the date and location for the scoping meeting has
been determined.
ADDRESSES: Mr. Shawn Boone, Project Manager, Charleston District,
Regulatory Division, 69-A Hagood Avenue, Charleston, SC 29403.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information and/or
questions about the proposed mine expansion project and DSEIS, please
contact Mr. Shawn Boone, Project Manager, by telephone: 843-329-8158,
or toll-free 1-866-329-8187, or by mail: [email protected].
For inquiries from the media, please contact the Corps, Charleston
District Corporate Communications Officer (CCO), Ms. Glenn Jeffries by
telephone: (843) 329-8123.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Corps is evaluating a proposal from
OceanaGold for the expanded development of the Haile Gold Mine in
accordance with Corps regulations and the policies and procedures that
are established in the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Based
on the available information, the Corps has determined that the
expansion of the mine has the potential to significantly affect the
quality of the human environment and therefore warrant the preparation
of a Supplemental EIS. Additional information about the proposed
project and the NEPA process is available on the project website at:
www. hailegoldmineseis.com.
1. Description of Proposed Project. The Haile Gold Mine expansion
plan (the proposed Project) includes the ore mining and processing
operations that would recover gold and silver by excavating pits and
underground deposits, storing excavated soils and overburden,
processing the ore, managing surface water and ground water during
operations, reclaiming the site at the end of operations, and
monitoring site conditions post-mining. The site of the Project is
currently an operating mine which was the subject of an Environmental
Impact Statement published in 2014.
2. Alternatives. A range of alternatives to the proposed action
will be identified, and those found to be reasonable alternatives will
be fully evaluated in the DSEIS, including: The no-action alternative,
the applicant's proposed alternative, alternative site configurations,
alternatives that may result in avoidance and minimization of impacts,
and mitigation measures not in the proposed action. However, this list
is not exclusive and additional alternatives may be considered for
inclusion.
[[Page 62563]]
3. Scoping and Public Involvement Process. A scoping meeting will
be conducted to gather information on the scope of the project and
alternatives to be addressed in the DSEIS. Individuals and
organizations that are interested in the proposed mine expansion or
whose interests may be affected by the proposed work are encouraged to
attend the scoping meeting to submit oral and/or written comments to
the Charleston District. Additional public and agency involvement will
be sought through the implementation of a public involvement plan and
through an agency coordination team.
4. Significant Issues. Issues associated with the proposed project
to be given detailed analysis in the DSEIS are likely to include, but
are not necessarily limited to, the potential impacts of the proposed
development on surface and groundwater quality, aquatic habitat and
biota, wetlands and stream habitats, federal and state listed species
of concern, indirect and cumulative impacts, threatened and endangered
species, environmental justice, mitigation, emergency response and
contingency plans, noise, conservation, economics, cultural resources,
aesthetics, general environmental concerns, historic properties, fish
and wildlife values, flood hazards, land use, recreation, water supply
and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, the
transportation network, and in general, the needs and welfare of the
people.
5. Additional Review and Consultation. Additional review and
consultation, which will be incorporated into the preparation of this
DSEIS, will include, but will not necessarily be limited to, Section
401 of Clean Water Act; the National Environmental Policy Act; the
Endangered Species Act; and the National Historic Preservation Act.
6. Availability of the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement. The DSEIS is anticipated to be available in early 2020. A
Public Hearing will be conducted following the release of the DSEIS.
