Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 232 / Friday, December 3, 2004 / Notices 70257

Alternatives Considered 

Remediation alternatives for the 

disposal of surface contamination 

include on-site disposal of the mill 

tailings at their current location in 

Moab, Utah; and three off-site disposal 

alternatives in Utah: Klondike Flats, 

near Moab; Crescent Junction, near the 

town of Crescent Junction and about 20 

miles east of the town of Green River; 

and the White Mesa Mill within a few 

miles of the towns of Blanding and 

White Mesa and the Ute Mountain Ute 

Indian Reservation. The draft EIS 

considers three modes of transporting 

the mill tailings to the off-site 

alternatives: truck, rail, and slurry 

pipeline. In addition, the draft EIS 

evaluates active ground water 

remediation to eliminate the potential 

ongoing impacts to aquatic species in 

the Colorado River resulting from the 

discharge of contaminated ground water 

into the river. 

In accordance with NEPA 

requirements, the draft EIS also 

analyzes, for comparative purposes, a 

No Action alternative. Under the No 

Action alternative, DOE would cease the 

active management that DOE currently 

provides of the mill tailings currently 

stored on-site. Discharge of 

contaminated ground water into the 

Colorado River would continue under 

the No Action alternative. 

DOE has not yet identified a preferred 

alternative. DOE will consider the 

analyses provided in the EIS as well as 

comments on the document in 

determining its preferred alternative, 

which will be identified in the final EIS.
