42318 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 139 / Monday, July 21, 2014 / Notices 

Region 10 has employed a conservative 

analysis of adverse effects. 

Known compensatory mitigation 

techniques are unlikely to offset impacts 

of the nature and magnitude described 

in the proposed restrictions. 

Compensatory mitigation is the concept 

of improving stream or wetland health 

in other parts of the watershed to 

compensate for stream or wetland 

destruction or degradation in a separate 

area. Compensatory mitigation efforts 

typically involve restoration and 

enhancement of waters that have 

potential for improvement in ecological 

services. However, the waters of the 

Bristol Bay watershed are already 

among the most productive in the 

world. EPA Region 10 sees little 

likelihood that human activity could 

improve upon the high quality natural 

environment in the Bristol Bay 

watershed that nature has created and 

has thus far been preserved. 

Compensation methods proposed by 

PLP, including placement of in-stream 

structures, stream fertilization, and 

construction of spawning channels, 

have typically had only variable, local, 

or temporary effects, were designed for 

use in degraded watersheds, or resulted 

in adverse, unintended consequences 

(USEPA 2014: Appendix J). 

Mine alternatives with lower 

environmental impacts at the Pebble 

deposit are not evaluated in either the 

Bristol Bay Assessment or this section 

404(c) proposed determination. If these 

proposed restrictions are finalized, 

proposals to mine the Pebble deposit 

that have impacts below each of these 

restrictions would proceed to the 

section 404 permitting process with the 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Any such 

proposals would have to meet the 

statutory and regulatory requirements 

for permitting under section 404. 

After evaluating available 

information, EPA Region 10 has reason 

to believe that unacceptable adverse 

effects on fishery areas (including 

spawning and breeding areas) could 

result from the discharge of dredge or 

fill material associated with mining the 

Pebble deposit. Further, it has not been 

demonstrated to the satisfaction of EPA 

Region 10 that no unacceptable adverse 

effect(s) will occur. 

EPA Region 10 is soliciting public 

comment on all issues discussed in this 

proposed determination, including 

likely adverse impacts to fishery 

resources, mitigation measures to 

potentially address these impacts, and 

other options to restrict or prohibit 

potentially harmful discharges of 

dredged or fill material associated with 

mining the Pebble deposit. All 

comments will be fully considered as 

EPA Region 10 decides whether to 

withdraw the proposed determination 

or forward to EPA Headquarters a 

recommended determination to restrict 

the use of certain waters in the SFK, 

NFK, and UTC watersheds in southwest 

Alaska as disposal sites for the 

discharge of dredged or fill material 

associated with mining the Pebble 

deposit. Should EPA Region 10 make a 

recommended determination, EPA 

Headquarters will then determine, based 

on the recommended determination, 

public comments received on the 

proposed determination, and all other 

available, relevant information, whether 

to issue a final determination under 

section 404(c). 

II. Solicitation of Comments on the 

Proposed Determination 

Please see the section above entitled 

ADDRESSES for information about how to 

obtain a copy of the proposed 

determination and how to submit 

comments on the proposed 

determination. EPA Region 10 is 

soliciting comments on all issues 

discussed in the proposed 

determination. In particular, we request: 

(1) Comments regarding whether the 

proposed determination should become 

the recommended determination and 

ultimately the final determination, and 

corrective action that could be taken to 

reduce the adverse impact of the 

discharges. 

(2) Additional information on the 

likely adverse impacts on fish and other 

ecological resources of the receiving 

waters that would be directly or 

indirectly affected by mining the Pebble 

deposit (including the SFK, NFK, and 

UTC and downstream reaches of the 

Nushagak and Kvichak Rivers). 

(3) Additional information on the 

water quality, flora, fauna, and 

hydrology of the waters identified in 

No. 2 above, and information on the fish 

species that would be affected by 

aquatic ecosystem changes if the 

discharges from the project occur. 

(4) Additional information about 

wildlife species that would be affected 

if the discharges from the project occur. 

(5) Additional information about 

recreational uses of the project area and 

how they would be impacted if the 

discharges from the project occur. 

(6) Additional information about 

drinking water (including municipal 

water supplies and private sources of 

drinking water such as streams and/or 

wells) and how they would be impacted 

if the discharges from the project occur. 

(7) Additional information on the 

potential for mitigation to be successful 

in reducing the impacts of the project. 

(8) Comments regarding the approach 

used to define the potential disposal 

site, including how EPA Region 10 

weighed the factors discussed in section 

2.2.3 and whether there are other factors 

or approaches EPA Region 10 should 

consider for defining the potential 

disposal site. 

(9) Whether the discharge of dredged 

or fill material associated with the 

project should be completely 

prohibited, restricted as proposed, 

restricted in another manner, or not 

restricted at all at this time. In 

particular, EPA Region 10 is also 

seeking comment on whether 

environmental effects associated with 

other mine stages or scenarios (e.g. 

environmental effects from mining 

approximately 2.0 billion tons of ore 

over 25 years) could provide a basis for 

alternative or additional restrictions. 

(10) Comment on the definitions 

provided in Section 5. 

(11) Comment on whether and how 

EPA Region 10’s action under section 

404(c) should consider discharge of 

dredged or fill materials beyond those 

associated with the mine pit, tailings 

dam, and waste rock piles, to include 

such discharges associated with the 

construction of other mine 

infrastructure (e.g., wastewater 

treatment facilities, transportation 

corridors, etc.). 

All relevant data, studies, or informal 

observations are appropriate. The record 

will remain open for comments until 

September 19, 2014. All comments will 

be fully considered as EPA Region 10 

decides whether to withdraw the 

proposed determination or forward to 

EPA Headquarters a recommended 

determination to restrict the use of 

certain waters in the SFK, NFK, and 

UTC watersheds in southwest Alaska as 

disposal sites for the discharge of 

dredged or fill material associated with 

mining the Pebble deposit.
