Environmental Impact Statements and Regulations; Availability of EPA Comments

EPA expressed environmental objections with the potential discharges from ponds and the open pit into groundwater. EPA recommended the final EIS provide more information on potential acid drainage formation, metals present in areas where there is potential for mobilization, and permeability of materials used to line pads and ponds. The final EIS should evaluate an alternative which includes increasing the stormwater containment capacity of the pregnant leach solution ponds to handle a 100-year, 24-hour storm. The final EIS also needs to provide analysis of the Clean Water Act Section 404 compliance.
