Government in the Sunshine Act Meeting Notice, 9558 [2019-05020]

Download as PDF amozie on DSK9F9SC42PROD with NOTICES 9558 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 51 / Friday, March 15, 2019 / Notices cumulative impacts of the Proposed Action and two Alternatives. Per 40 CFR 1501.7, the issues raised during the scoping period (March 22–May 8, 2017) were used to inform the analyses and identify the alternatives considered in the EIS. Alternatives for the Project that were analyzed in the Final EIS include: • Alternative A—Proposed Action: As described above in Section I, second paragraph. The Proposed Action Alternative would be as approved from the time of the original PAP and initial approval of the mining plan modification in 2008 until 2033. • Alternative B—Continuation of San Juan Mine Operations Following Generating Station Shut-Down in 2022: This alternative assumes that that the remaining units of the Generating Station shut down in 2022, but that mining continues at the DLE at the same rate (approximately 3 million tons annually) from 2023 through 2033. After 2023, this alternative assumes that either a new operator will purchase the Generating Station or the mine will send the coal to an unidentified coal-fired power plant. Without knowing the location of the end-use of the DLE coal, the Final EIS bounds the potential effects of combusting DLE coal at an unidentified power plant by relying on the analysis of effects at the San Juan Generating Station. Under Alternative B, the mining techniques would be identical to those for the Proposed Action. • Alternative C—No Action Alternative: This alternative assumes that the OSMRE would recommend that the ASLM disapprove the mining plan modification for the DLE at the San Juan Mine, the ASLM disapproves of the mining plan modification, and mining ceases on August 31, 2019. Implementation of the No Action Alternative would result in the discontinuation of mining activities in the DLE on August 31, 2019, completion of all mining activities at the San Juan Mine in December 2019 and cessation of burning coal from San Juan Mine at the Generating Station approximately 6 months later. Under this alternative, SJCC would complete reclamation activities of all surface disturbance in accordance with its existing permit. Considering mining activities in the DLE have been ongoing since 2008 and have continued throughout the NEPA process, the baseline conditions for the No Action Alternative includes mining through August 2019. A wide range of additional Alternatives were considered by the OSMRE but not carried forward for detailed analysis in the EIS. The following Alternatives were not VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:53 Mar 14, 2019 Jkt 247001 analyzed in the EIS because they either did not meet the purpose and need of the Project or were not considered technically feasible or economically feasible or cost-effective: • Alternative D—‘‘Just’’ Transition Alternative • Alternative E—Alternative Panel Alignment, Timing or Sequence • Alternative F—Continue to Mine at a Rate of 6 Million Tons Per Year • Alternative G—Modifications to Underground Mining Technique • Alternative H—Relocation of Portal Sites • Alternative I—Alternative Coal Combustion Residue Disposal Sites V. Environmental Impact Analysis The Final EIS analyzes the potential environmental impacts to 16 different resource categories, including: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Air Quality Climate Change Geology and Soils Archaeology and Cultural Resources Water Resources and Hydrology Vegetation Wildlife and Habitats Special Status Species Land Use, Transportation, and Agriculture Recreation Social and Economic Values Environmental Justice Visual Resources Noise and Vibration impacts Hazardous and Solid Wastes Public Health and Safety VI. Public Comment Procedures In accordance with the Council on Environmental Quality’s regulations for implementing NEPA and the DOI’s NEPA regulations, OSMRE solicited public comments on the Draft EIS. The comment period was held for over 45 days from May 25, 2018 to July 9, 2018. OSMRE held five public meetings in New Mexico and Colorado from June 25, 2018 to June 29, 2018. During the public comment period, over 3,000 comments on the Draft EIS were submitted. OSMRE considered these comments in developing the Final EIS. Dated: March 1, 2019.
