Possible Alternatives 

1. No. Action. 2. Approve the Plan as 

presented by Roca Honda Resources, 

LLC. 3. Approve the Plan as presented 

with stipulations necessary to protect 

the non-mineral resources of the area. 

Responsible Official 

Nancy Rose, Forest Supervisor, Cibola 

National Forest. 2113 Osuna Road, NE., 

Albuquerque, NM 87113. 

Nature of Decision To Be Made 

The Forest Supervisor will use the EIS 

process to develop the necessary 

information to make an informed 

decision on whether or not to approve 

the proposed Plan as submitted, or to 

decide what additional mitigations are 

needed to protect other resources as 

provided for in 36 CFR 228.8. 

Preliminary Issues 

Four preliminary issues have been 

identified: (1) Mine development and 

operations could potentially affect 

surface and ground water quality. (2) 

Mine development and operation may 

adversely affect the characteristics that 

make the Mt. Taylor Traditional 

Cultural Property (TCP) eligible for the 

National Register of Historic Places. (3) 

Legacy health issues with past uranium 

mining remain an issue in the region, 

raising concerns that the proposed 

mining could result in effects to workers 

and general public health. (4) Mine 

development and operations could 

induce local economic development by 

increasing jobs, income, expenditures, 

and the tax base. Other potential issues 

are air quality degradation from fugitive 

dust and radon gas emissions, traffic 

control, road construction standards, 

and uranium ore transport. 

Permits or Licenses Required 

The approved Plan of Operations 

authorizes mining. Operations must be 

consistent with Forest Service 

Conditions of Approval, and other 

applicable laws and regulations, 

including state permits for mining in 

New Mexico. 

Scoping Process 

This notice of intent initiates the 

scoping process which guides the 

development of the environmental 

impact statement. Comments are 

solicited and are welcome for 30 days 

beginning on the publication date of this 

notice. 

Scoping will include this NOI, listing 

in the Quarterly Schedule of Proposed 

Actions, letters to interested and 

affected individuals, agencies, and 

organizations, and legal notices, and the 

open houses in Grants and Gallup, New 

Mexico. Additional information about 

the project, schedule, permits and 

approvals, and opportunities for public 

involvement will be available at the 

open houses and after those dates by 

contacting Diane Tafoya, Forest Service 

point of contact. The intent of scoping 

is to solicit comments on issues and 

alternatives that agencies and the public 

feel should be addressed in the EIS. 

It is important that reviewers provide 

their comments at such times and in 

such a way that they are useful to the 

Agency’s preparation of the EIS. 

Therefore, comments should be 

provided prior to the close of the 

comment period and should clearly 

articulate the reviewer’s concerns and 

contentions. The submission of timely 

and specific comments can affect a 

reviewer’s ability to participate in 

subsequent administrative review or 

judicial review. 

Comments received in response to 

this solicitation, including names and 

addresses of those who comment, will 

be part of the public record for this 

proposed action. Comments submitted 

anonymously will be accepted and 

considered; however, anonymous 

comments will not provide the 

respondent with standing to participate 

in subsequent administrative review or 

judicial review.
