ACTION: Notice of availability.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(c)

of the National Environmental Policy

Act, notice is given that the Ely District

of the Bureau of Land Management has

Draft Environmental Impact Statement

on Placer Dome U.S. Bald Mountain

Mine Expansion Project in eastern

Nevada. This document is available for

public review for a 45 day period.

comments on the Draft Environmental

Impact Statement must be postmarked

by June 16, 1995.

Public meetings to receive oral and

written comments have been scheduled

for the dates and places listed below.

All meetings will begin at 7:00 p.m.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Dan Netcher, Project Leader at the above

Ely District Office address or telephone

(702) 289–1800.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Draft

Environmental Impact Statement

analyzes the potential environmental

impacts that could result from the

expansion of the current gold mining

operations at Bald Mountain Mine and

development of the Horseshoe/Galaxy

Mine (Proposed Action) and reasonable

alternatives. Alternatives analyzed

consist of: (1) no action; (2) haul road

design; (3) waste rock dump

configurations; and (4) reclamation

options. The project would involve

construction and operation of a new

mine at Horseshoe/Galaxy with open

pits, crushing facilities, waste dumps,

conventional heap leaching facilities

and several ancillary facilities. The Bald

Mountain Mine expansion would

consist of modification of the processing

circuit with a wet crushing circuit that

would produce a split flow of ore, and

the processing facility would consist of

both heap leaching and carbon-in-leach

facilities with associated tailings. The

Bald Mountain Mine expansion would

also consist of expansion of the current

Top Pit and development of the Sage Pit

with corresponding waste rock dumps.

Fish and Wildlife Service

Endangered and Threatened Species

Permit Application

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

Availability of an Environmental

Assessment and Receipt of an

Application for an Incidental Take

Permit for the City of Waterford,

Stanislaus County, California.

SUMMARY: This notice advises the public

that the City of Waterford (City) has

applied to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife

Service (Service) for an incidental take

permit pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(B) of

the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as

amended (Act). The application has

been assigned permit number 801047.

The proposed permit would authorize

the incidental take of the threatened

valley elderberry longhorn beetle

(Desmocerus californicus

dimorphis)(VELB) and/or loss of its

habitat during the expansion of the

city’s wastewater treatment facility

(WWTF).

The Service also announces the

availability of an environmental

assessment (EA) for the incidental take

permit application, the proposed habitat

conservation plan fully describing the

proposed project and mitigation, and

the accompanying implementing

agreement. This notice is provided

pursuant to section 10(c) of the Act and

National Environmental Policy Act

regulations (40 CFR 1506.6).

DATES: Written comments on the permit

application and EA should be received

on or before May 19, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Comments regarding the

application or adequacy of the EA

should be addressed to Mr. Joel Medlin,

Field Supervisor, U.S. Fish and Wildlife

Service, Sacramento Field Office, 2800

Cottage Way, Room E–1823,

Sacramento, California 95825. Please

refer to permit number 801047 when

submitting comments. Individuals

wishing copies of the application or EA

for review should immediately contact

the above office at (916) 979–2725.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

Michael Horton, U.S. Fish and Wildlife

Service, Sacramento Field Office, 2800

Cottage Way, Room E–1823,

Sacramento, California 95825 (916–979–

2725).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Under Section 9 of the Act, and its

implementing regulations, taking of the

VELB, a threatened species, is

prohibited. However, the Service, under

limited circumstances, may issue

permits to take threatened species

incidental to, and not the purpose of,

otherwise lawful activities. Regulations

governing permits for threatened species

are promulgated at 50 CFR 17.32.

The City of Waterford proposes to

expand their WWTF along the

Tuolumne River in Eastern Stanislaus

County, California. As a result of

construction activities related to the

proposed project, 18 valley elderberry

bushes (Sambucus mexicana) with 149

individual stems 1 inch or greater in

diameter will be destroyed resulting in

the incidental taking of VELB. This

destruction will be mitigated through

the replacement planting and

permanent protection of 894 elderberry

bush seedlings on approximately 3.9

acres in the immediate area. The City

has committed to achieving a 90 percent

elderberry plant survival rate at the end

of the ten-year monitoring period. The

associated native species also will be

planted. The City has made sufficient

funds available to implement all steps of

the mitigation and monitoring plan.

The EA considers a no action

alternative. This alternative would not

involve the removal of elderberry

bushes and consequently would not

affect the VELB. Under the no action

alternative the City’s WWTF would

continue to experience ‘‘surges’’ in the

flow volume due to municipal storm
