SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Information About the Project/ 

Document 

The U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) conducted this 

assessment to provide a characterization 

of the biological and mineral resources 

of the Bristol Bay watershed, increase 

understanding of the potential impacts 

of large-scale mining on the region’s fish 

resources, and inform future 

governmental decisions. 

A previous draft was released for 

public comment on May 18, 2012 (77 FR 

31353, May 25, 2012). Peer review panel 

members were announced June 5, 2012 

(77 FR 33213, June 5, 2012), and the 

external peer review meeting was 

announced July 6, 2012 (77 FR 40037,

meeting was held in Anchorage, AK, 

August 7–9, 2012. This revised draft 

was completed by the agency to address 

public and peer review comments 

provided on the May 2012 draft. 

EPA is releasing this revised draft 

assessment for the purposes of public 

comment. This draft assessment is not 

final as described in EPA’s information 

quality guidelines, and it does not 

represent and should not be construed 

to represent Agency policy or views. 

EPA is seeking comments from the 

public on all aspects of the report, 

including the scientific and technical 

information presented in the report, the 

realistic mining scenario used, the data 

and information used to inform 

assumptions about mining activities and 

the evaluations of risk to the fishery, 

and the potential mitigation measures 

considered (and effectiveness of those 

measures). EPA is also specifically 

seeking any additional data or scientific 

or technical information about Bristol 

Bay resources or large-scale mining that 

should be considered in our evaluation. 

EPA will consider any public comments 

submitted in accordance with this 

notice when revising the document.
