Requests for copies of EPA  comments can be directed to the Office of  Federal Activities at 202-564-7146 or                      *http://www.epa.gov/​compliance/​nepa/​*. An explanation of the ratings assigned to  draft environmental impact statements (EISs) was published in FR dated  July 17, 2009 (74 FR 34754).                

## Draft EISs

*EIS No. 20080518, ERP No. D-BLM-K67058-NV,*                     Bald  Mountain Mine Northern Operations Area Project, Proposes to Expand Current Mining Operations at  several Existing Pits, Rock Disposal Areas, Heap  Leach Pads, Processing Facilities, and Interpit  Area, Combining the Bald Mountain Mine Plan of  Operations                           ( print page 50964)                        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.                

*EIS No. 20090047, ERP No. D-COE-E39076-AL,*                     Foley  Land Cut Portion of the Gulf Intracoastal  Waterway, Proposed Construction of Residential, Commercial and Marine Development, Gulf Shores  and Orange Beach, Baldwin County, AL.                

*Summary:*                     EPA expressed environmental concerns about water  quality and hydrological impacts. Specific BMPs  designed to minimize water quality impacts should  be included in each permit application as a  special condition of the permit. Rating EC2.                

*EIS No. 20090123, ERP No. D-FHW-E40824-MS,*                     Greenville Connector Project, from Relocated US  82 to Proposed I-69 Corridor south of Benoit, City of Greenville. Washington and Bolivar  Counties, MS.                

*Summary:*                     EPA expressed concern about wetland and stream  impacts, flood storage loss, and noise impacts, and requested additional avoidance, minimization, and/or mitigation measures for  these impacts. EPA also recommended commitments  to bridge or narrow the ROW width, wherever  possible, over major aquatic resources. Rating EC2.                

*EIS No. 20090190, ERP No. D-AFS-L65572-OR,*                     Wallowa-Whitman National Forest Travel Management  Plan, Designate Roads Trails and Areas for Motor  Vehicle User, Baker, Grant, Umatilla, Union and  Wallowa Counties, OR.                

*Summary:*                     EPA expressed environmental concerns about  potential impacts to water quality, fisheries, riparian habitat and soils, and recommended  increased protective measures for water quality. Rating EC2.                

*EIS No. 20090198, ERP No. D-AFS-K65371-CA,*                     Shasta-Trinity National Forest Motorized Travel Management Project, Proposal to Prohibit Cross-County Motor Vehicle Travel off Designated National Forest Transportation System (NFTS) Roads, Motorized Trails and Areas by the Public Except as Allowed by Permit or other Authorization (excluding snowmobile use), CA.                

*Summary*: EPA expressed environmental concerns about the  scope of the travel management planning process  and potential impacts on water quality and  cultural resources. Rating EC2.                

## Final EISs

*EIS No. 20090268, ERP No. F-BLM-L65545-ID,*                     Three  Rivers Stone Quarry Expansion Project, Proposing  to Expand the Quarry Operation up to an  Additional 73 Acres to Increase Mine Production  of Flaystone, Custer County, ID.                

*Summary*: EPA continues to have environmental concerns  about water quality impacts from potential  stormwater ponds being breached and spills. EPA  recommends that contingency measures be included  to control high flood events and prevent  contamination to surface water.                

*EIS No. 20090271, ERP No. F-GSA-K40271-CA,*                     San  Ysidro Land Port of Entry (LPOE) Improvement  Project, Propose the Configuration and Expansion  of the Existing (LPOE), San Ysidro, CA.
