Draft EISs

ERP No. D–AFS–K65193–NV Rating

EO2, Griffon Mining Project,

Implementation, Issuance Plan of

Operations Approval, HumboldtToiyabe National Forests, Ely Ranger

District, White Pine County, NV.

Summary: EPA had environmental

objections to the proposed project based

on its potential impacts to a wet

meadow and disturbance of more land

for waste rock dumps, impacts to water

quality and habitat in Ellison Creek,

facilities design, and air quality. EPA

requested additional information

regarding water quality impacts and

objectives, facilities design, mitigation

measures, the waste rock

characterization and handling plan, and

access roads. EPA recommended that

the Forest Service select as its preferred

alternative Alternative C with

backfilling of the Hammer Ridge pit.

EC2, Yosemite National Park General

Management Plan, Yosemite Housing

Project, Updated Information on

Yosemite Valley Housing Plan, New and

Replacement Housing, Mariposa,

Modera and Tuolumne Counties, CA.

Summary: EPA expressed

environmental concerns that the new

preferred alternative would move fewer

park employees out of Yosemite Valley

than previously identified alternatives,

and an employee transportation system

would not be developed. EPA

recommended the analysis of an

additional alternative which combines a

more aggressive development of EL

Portal housing with an alternative fuels

employee transportation system.

ERP No. DS–NOA–E86002–00 Rating

LO, Sapper Grouper Fishery,

Amendment 8 to the Fishery

recommended more emphasis on

nonpoint pollutions, as a factor

exacerbated declines in fishery stock.
