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 proposedand 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.

Dated: August 12, 2013. David J. Castanon, Division Chief, Los Angeles District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
