Résumé

The Department of the Interior (represented by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Fish and Wildlife Service, and the National Park Service), the Spokane Tribe of Indians, and the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation (the Trustees) announce the release for public review of the Midnite Uranium Mine Natural Resource Damage Assessment Plan, Part I: Injury Determination. This Assessment Plan was developed by the Midnite Uranium Mine Natural Resource Trustee Council, consisting of representatives of the Trustee agencies listed above. The purpose of the Plan is to communicate the Trustees' proposed approach for determining injury to natural resources resulting from the release of hazardous substances from the Midnite Mine Superfund Site, an associated uranium mill site, haul road and other areas to potentially responsible parties (PRPs) and the public so that these stakeholders can productively participate in the assessment process. All interested parties are invited to submit comments on the Assessment Plan.
