Boundary and the Mooney Basin 

Operation Area Boundary, White Pine 

County, NV. 

Summary: EPA expressed 

environmental objections because waste 

rock from several pits could generate 

leachate with high concentrations of 

metals and metalloids, and degrade 

water quality if the leachate should 

reach groundwater or surface waters, or 

if pit lakes would form. Also, EPA 

expressed concerns about potential 

impacts to air quality and the lack of 

suitable soil for reclamation. EPA 

recommends the additional information 

on waste rock geochemical 

characterization, potential impacts to 

water and air resources, mitigation and 

monitoring, and closure and 

reclamation. Rating EO2.
