Public Land Order No. 7910; Extension 

of Public Land Order No. 7533; 

Withdrawal of National Forest System 

Land for the Holden Mine Reclamation 

Project, Washington 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Public land order. 

SUMMARY: This order extends the 

duration of the withdrawal created by 

Public Land Order (PLO) No. 7533 for 

an additional 20-year period. PLO No. 

7533 withdrew 1,265 acres of National 

Forest System lands in the OkanoganWenatchee National Forest from 

location and entry under the United 

States mining laws for a period of 20 

years to protect the Holden Mine 

Reclamation Project. Under that project, 

the United States Forest Service is 

remediating the release of hazardous 

substances under the Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, 

Compensation, and Liability Act, 

including undertaking infrastructure 

improvements and capital investments. 

A Federal Register notice published on 

October 27, 2021, corrected the legal 

land description and acreage figure 

(from 1,265 acres to 1,285 acres) stated 

in PLO No. 7533. The withdrawal 

extension is necessary to continue 

protecting the Holden Mine 

Reclamation Project in Chelan County, 

Washington. Without the extension, the 

protection afforded by the withdrawal 

expires on August 5, 2022. 

DATES: This PLO takes effect on August 

6, 2022.

comments on the Draft EIS. 

DATES: All comments must be received 

by September 6, 2022. The BLM will 

announce the date of a public meeting 

on the Draft EIS at least 15 days in 

advance of the meeting on the BLM 

National ePlanning website https://

go.usa.gov/xf2GR. The public meeting 

will be held online. 

ADDRESSES: The Draft EIS is available 

for review on the BLM ePlanning project 

website at https://go.usa.gov/xf2GR. 

Written comments related to the 

proposed NVV Gibellini Mine Project, 

in Eureka County, Nevada, may be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Purpose and Need for the Proposed 

Action 

The BLM’s purpose for the action is 

to respond to NVV’s proposal as 

described in the proposed Plan of 

Operations and to analyze the 

environmental effects associated with 

the proponent’s Proposed Action and 

alternatives to the Proposed Action. The 

BLM’s need for the action is established 

by the BLM’s responsibilities under 

FLPMA and the BLM Surface 

Management Regulations at 43 CFR part 

3809 to respond to a proposed Plan of 

Operations and ensure that operations 

prevent unnecessary or undue 

degradation of public lands.

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 140 / Friday, July 22, 2022 / Notices 43895 

Proposed Action and Alternatives 

Under the Proposed Action, NVV 

would construct and operate an open pit 

mine in the southern extent of the Fish 

Creek Range. Facilities associated with 

the Proposed Action include 

development of an open pit mine, rock 

disposal area, crushing facilities and 

stockpile, heap leach pad, process 

facility, process and make-up water 

ponds, borrow areas, mine and access 

roads, water and power supply lines, 

and ancillary facilities. The estimated 

Project life consists of one and a half 

years of construction, seven years of 

operation, four years of active 

reclamation and closure, and up to 30 

years of post-closure monitoring. In 

addition, NVV would conduct 

exploration activities as part of the 

Proposed Action. The Project Area 

includes a total of 6,456 acres of BLMadministered land, of which 

approximately 806 acres of surface 

disturbance would occur due to Projectrelated activities. 

The South Access Road Alternative 

would include the same mine 

components as described for the 

Proposed Action, except the access road 

would be constructed in a different 

location. This alternative access road 

would be approximately seven miles 

long and extend from County Road M– 

103 (Duckwater Road) to the Project 

Area. The access road would be 

constructed parallel to the power line 

corridor. Overall, this alternative would 

result in approximately 38 additional 

acres of surface disturbance relative to 

the Proposed Action. 

The Renewable Energy Alternative 

would consist of the same overall 

activities as described for the Proposed 

Action, except this alternative would 

include supporting the mine operations 

with a combination of renewable energy 

and a utility interconnection with future 

large-scale battery storage. This 

alternative would result in 

approximately 33 additional acres 

relative to the Proposed Action. 

Under the No Action Alternative, the 

Plan of Operations would not be 

authorized by the BLM, and the 

activities described in the Proposed 

Action would not occur. Mineral 

resources would remain undeveloped, 

and the construction and operation of 

the proposed mine and associated 

facilities would not occur. 

Schedule for the Decision-Making 

Process 

The final EIS is tentatively scheduled 

for Fall of 2022 with a Record of 

Decision in early 2023. 

Draft EIS Review Process 

On July 14, 2020, a notice of intent to 

prepare an EIS was published in the 

Federal Register, announcing the 

beginning of the public scoping process. 

Virtual public meetings were held on 

September 2 and 3, 2020. During the 

scoping period, 12 comment documents 

were received containing a total of 216 

individual comments. The comments 

received, in order of decreasing volume, 

were associated with wildlife and 

special status species, laws and 

regulations, water resources, air quality, 

and uranium management. 

This notice of availability initiates the 

draft EIS review process. A public 

meeting to discuss the draft EIS will be 

held via virtual platform. An 

announcement regarding when and how 

to access the virtual meeting will be 

posted on the BLM’s project website. 

Public review of the draft EIS 

provides an opportunity for meaningful 

collaborative public engagement and 

allows the public to provide substantive 

comments, such as identification of 

factual errors, data gaps, relevant 

methods, or scientific studies. The BLM 

will respond to substantive comments 

by making appropriate revisions to the 

EIS or explaining why a comment did 

not warrant a change. 

The BLM has and will continue to use 

and coordinate the draft EIS review 

process to help fulfill the public 

involvement requirements under the 

National Historic Preservation Act (54 

U.S.C. 306108) as provided in 36 CFR 

800.2(d)(3). The information about 

historic and cultural resources within 

the area potentially affected by the 

proposed action will assist the BLM in 

identifying and evaluating impacts to 

such resources. 

The BLM has and will continue to 

conduct government-to-government 

consultation with Indian Tribes in 

accordance with Executive Order 13175 

and other policies. Agencies will give 

due consideration to Tribal concerns, 

including impacts on Indian trust assets 

and treaty rights and potential impacts 

to cultural resources. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.
