Intent to Prepare an Environmental

Gold Project 

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 

Department of Defense. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: The Alaska District, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) 

intends to prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) to identify and 

analyze the potential impacts associated 

with the proposed Donlin Gold Project, 

which would be an open pit, hardrock 

gold mine located 10 miles north of the 

village of Crooked Creek, Alaska. The 

Corps is the lead Federal agency; the 

Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the 

Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety 

Administration, the Environmental 

Protection Agency, and the Alaska 

Department of Natural Resources will 

serve as cooperating agencies in

indicated their intention to serve as 

cooperating agencies. The Corps will be 

evaluating a permit application for work 

and/or discharges of pollutants under 

Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and 

Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act 

of 1899. The EIS will be used as a basis 

for the permit decision in compliance

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. Proposed Action. Donlin Gold LLC 

is proposing the development of an 

open pit, hardrock gold mine located 

277 miles west of Anchorage, 145 miles 

northeast of Bethel, and 10 miles north 

of the community of Crooked Creek. The 

proposed project would require 

approximately 3 to 4 years to construct 

with a projected mine life of 

approximately 27.5 years. Major project 

components include excavation of an 

open pit, that ultimately would be 

approximately 2.2 miles long by 1 mile 

wide by 1,850 feet deep; a waste 

treatment facility (tailings 

impoundment) approximately 1 mile 

long, and ultimately covering 2,350 

acres; a waste rock facility covering 

approximately 2,300 acres; a mill 

facility processing approximately 59,000 

short tons of ore per day; a natural gasfired power plant with a total connected 

load of 227 MW, supplied by a 313- 

mile, small-diameter (approximately 14- 

inches), natural gas pipeline from the 

west side of Cook Inlet to the mine site; 

and transportation infrastructure 

including a 5,000-foot airstrip, a 30- 

mile-long road from the mine site to a 

new barge landing near Jungjuk Creek 

on the Kuskokwim River, and barge 

terminal facilities in Bethel. The 

proposed mine and related facilities 

would have a total foot print of 

approximately 16,300 acres. There is 

currently no road or rail access to the 

site, which is isolated from existing 

power and other related infrastructure. 

The pipeline route would originate at 

the Beluga National Gas Pipeline, with 

a single compressor station at milepost 

5. The route proceeds north to the 

Skwentna River, continuing alongside 

the Skwentna River to Puntilla Lake. It 

then crosses the Alaska Range through 

Rainy Pass and Rohn, before turning 

southwest to Farewell. The route then 

runs west along the north side of the 

Alaska Range to cross the Kuskokwim 

River at approximately Devil’s Elbow. 

The last 80 miles follow ridgelines north
