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.

Authority: 40 CFR 1501.7 and 1508.22; 36 CFR 220.4.
