where the pipeline route crosses the 

Gila River. 

A 2.2-mile segment of the FlorenceKelvin Highway, a Pinal Countymaintained roadway, would require 

realignment as a result of constructing 

the facility. A 2.1-mile section of the 

road would be relocated north of its 

current alignment. 

The proposed facility would require 

the relocation of the San Carlos 

Irrigation Project power line which 

currently passes though the northern 

portion of the facility footprint. An 

approximately 2.3-mile segment of the 

power line will be moved north of the 

TSF and rerouted around the western 

portion of the project area, 

approximately following the proposed 

and existing alignment of the FlorenceKelvin Highway. The planned rerouted 

power line corridor is approximately 3.2 

miles in length. 

3. Issues: There are several potential 

environmental issues that will be 

addressed in the Draft EIS. Additional 

issues may be identified during the 

scoping process. Issues initially 

identified for evaluation in the Draft EIS 

include: 

1. Visual/aesthetics impacts from 

landform alterations, 

2. air quality impacts from 

construction and operation of the 

facility, 

3. cultural resources (prehistoric and 

historic resources), 

4. surface water hydrology and 

quality, 

5. groundwater hydrology and quality, 

6. potential land use incompatibility, 

7. noise impacts from construction 

and operation, 

8. Impacts to recreation resources, 

9. socioeconomic effects, 

10. soils and geotechnical stability 

issues, 

11. transportation network impacts, 

and 

12. biological impacts (vegetation, 

wildlife, waters of the U.S.). 

4. Alternatives: Several alternatives to 

the proposed action are being 

considered in the Draft EIS. The Draft 

EIS will include a co-equal level of 

analysis of the No-Action and project 

alternatives considered. Currently, there 

are five potential off-site project 

alternatives being considered along with 

the proposed action and two variations 

of the proposed action. These 

alternatives will be further formulated 

and developed during the scoping 

process. Additional alternatives may be 

developed during scoping that will also 

be considered in the Draft EIS. 

5. Scoping: The Corps will conduct 

two public scoping meetings for the 

proposed Ray Mine Tailings Storage 

Facility Project Draft EIS to receive 

public comment and to assess public 

concerns regarding the appropriate 

scope and preparation of the Draft EIS. 

Participation in the public meetings by 

federal, state, local, and tribal agencies 

and other interested organizations is 

encouraged. The first meeting will be 

held on September 24, 2013 beginning 

at 6:00 p.m. (Arizona Time Zone) at 

Kearny Junior-Senior High School, 701 

Arizona 177, Kearny, Arizona 85137. 

The second meeting will be held on 

September 25, 2013 beginning at 6:00 

p.m. (Arizona Time Zone) at Apache 

Junction High School, 2525 South 

Ironwood Drive, Apache Junction, 

Arizona 85120. Comments on the 

proposed action, alternatives, or any 

additional concerns should be 

submitted in writing. Written and 

electronic comment letters will be 

accepted through October 28, 2013. 

The Corps also anticipates formally 

consulting with the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service under Section 7 of the 

Endangered Species Act and with the 

State Historic Preservation Officer and 

appropriate Tribal Historic Preservation 

Officers under Section 106 of the 

National Historic Preservation Act. 

6. Availability of the Draft EIS: The 

Draft EIS is expected to be published 

and circulated in the fourth quarter of 

2014, and a public meeting will be held 

after its publication.
