and Eventually Closing a Geologic 

Repository (DOE/EIS–0250F–S1D) at 

Yucca Mountain, Nye County, NV. 

Summary: EPA expressed 

environmental concerns about regional 

seismic activity and questions that have 

been raised regarding the differences in 

observed strain rates in the area versus 

forecasted rates and whether these rates 

have been underestimated. EPA 

recommended that the final SEIS 

explain the appropriate strain rates will 

be determined and reflected in the 

project’s conceptual seismic model.

Summary: This supplemental EIS has 

included additional analysis and 

information on grazing land status, 

adaptive management and species of 

concern. However, EPA continues to 

have environmental concerns about 

adverse impacts to water quality and 

riparian areas from grazing, and 

cumulative effects to sensitive areas and 

aquatic resources from multiple uses. 

EPA recommended more emphasis on 

water quality restoration and 

monitoring, restoring riparian and sage 

grouse habitats, and consideration of a 

hybrid alternative which is based on 

available resources. Rating EC2.

Summary: EPA supports the Forest 

Service’s efforts in managing the great 

threats from noxious weeds. The final 

EIS addressed our comments on 

prioritizing a full range of weed 

management activities. Because of the 

potential for unintended transport of 

herbicides to surface and ground water, 

EPA encouraged continued water 

quality monitoring to validate design 

criteria and monitoring mitigation 

measures.

of information regarding the uncertainty 

of future water supplies for all of the

concerns with potential impacts to 

Cherry Creek’s adjacent wetland and
