DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Office of the Assistant Secretary;

Water and Science

Central Utah Project Completion Act;

Wasatch County Water Efficiency

Project and Daniel Replacement

Project

AGENCIES: The Department of the

Interior (Department); the Utah

Reclamation Mitigation and

Conservation Commission

(Commission); and the Central Utah

Water Conservancy District (District).

ACTION: Notice of availability of the

Draft Environmental Impact Statement

(DEIS):

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(C)

of the National Environmental Policy

Act of 1969, as amended, the

Department, Commission, and the

District have issued a joint Draft

Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS)

for the Wasatch County Water Efficiency

Project and Daniel Replacement Project

(WCWEP & DRP). The DEIS analyzes

alternatives and impacts associated with

efficiency improvements in the

management, delivery, and treatment of

water in Wasatch County. The project

includes the conversion of some open

irrigation systems to pressurized

pipeline systems, thus conserving water

and making sprinkler irrigation

possible. Conserved water would be

provided to the Daniel Irrigation

Company as a replacement supply for

the terminated transbasin diversions

from the Strawberry River, located in

the Colorado River Basin. With the

termination of the diversions from the

Strawberry River, natural stream flows

would be re-established in the upper

Strawberry River, thus completing a

major mitigation commitment

associated with the Strawberry

Aqueduct and Collection System of the

Bonneville Unit. Colorado River Storage

Project power would be used, as part of

the WCWEP & DRP project, to conserve

water, improve efficiencies, and provide

a replacement water supply.

Public participation has occurred

throughout the EIS process. A Notice of

Intent was filed in the Federal Register

in December 1992. Since that time, open

houses, public meetings, and mail-outs

have been conducted to solicit

comments and ideas. Any comments
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 115 / Thursday, June 13, 1996 / Notices 30091

received throughout the process have

been considered.

DATES: Written comments on the DEIS

must be submitted or postmarked no

later than August 13, 1996. Comments

on the DEIS may also be presented

verbally or submitted in writing at the

public hearings to be held at the

following times and locations:

• 6:00 p.m., July 16, 1996; Wasatch

County Middle School, 800 South 200

East, Heber City, Utah

• 6:30 p.m., July 17, 1996; Salt Lake

County Commission Chambers, 2001

South State, Salt Lake City, Utah

The public hearings are being held to

address two separate actions: (1) The

Wasatch County Water Efficiency

Project and Daniel Replacement Project,

and (2) the Provo River Restoration

Project. Each action should be

addressed separately. Testimony may be

given on each of the two actions but

should be made and identified as two

separate presentations. In order to be

included as part of the hearing record,

written testimony must be submitted at

the time of the hearing. Verbal

testimony will be limited to 5 minutes

for each DEIS. Those wishing to give

testimony at a hearing should submit a

registration form, included at the end of

the DEIS, to the address listed below by

July 15, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Comments on the DEIS

should be addressed to: Karen Ricks,

Project Manager, Central Utah Water

Conservancy District, 355 West 1300

South, Orem, Utah 84058.

resources technical reports, or

Notice of Intent To Prepare an

Environmental Impact Statement on a

Plan of Operations for Alta Gold

Company in Washoe County, Nevada;

and Notice of Scoping Period and

Public Meeting

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Carson City District Office.

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

of the National Environmental Policy

Act of 1969 and 43 CFR Part 3809, the

Bureau of Land Management will be

directing the preparation of an

Environmental Impact Statement to be

produced by a third-party contractor on

the impacts of a proposed Plan of

Operations for development of the

Olinghouse Gold Mine, an open pit,

cyanide heap leach gold mine operated

by Alta Gold Company, in Washoe

County, Nevada. The Bureau invites

comments on the scope of the analysis.

EFFECTIVE DATES: An open-house

meeting will be held July 3, 1996, from

5 p.m. to 8 p.m., at the Washoe County

Commissioners Chambers, 1001 E.

Ninth Street, Reno to allow the public

an opportunity to identify issues and

concerns to be addressed in the

Environmental Impact Statement. This

meeting will be a joint effort by the

Bureau and Washoe County.

Representatives of Alta Gold Company

will be available to answer questions

about the Plan of Operations. Additional

scoping meetings may be held as

appropriate. Written comments on the

Plan of Operations and the scope of the

Environmental Impact Statement will be

accepted until July 19, 1996.

A Draft Environmental Impact

Statement is expected to be completed

by November 1996 and made available

for public review and comment. At that

time a Notice of Availability of the Draft

Environmental Impact Statement will be

published in the Federal Register. The

comment period on the Draft

Environmental Impact Statement will be

60 days from the date the Notice of

Availability is published.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Scoping comments may be sent to:

District Manager, Bureau of Land

Management, 1535 Hot Springs Road,

Statement Project Manager.

For additional information, write to

the above address or call Terri Knutson

at (702) 885–6156.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Alta Gold

Company has submitted a Plan of

Operations for development of their

Olinghouse Gold Mine located

approximately six miles west of

Wadsworth, Nevada in Washoe County.

The proposed operation includes;

development and condemnation drilling

necessary for development of future

operations; construction of an open pit

and associated overburden and

interburden disposal areas; construction

of a heap leach pad for ore processing;

construction of recirculation and

pregnant solution ponds; and

construction of mine facilities. There are

approximately 4300 acres within the

proposed project area and 465 acres

within the actual area of disturbance on

the proposed mine site.

The Environmental Impact Statement

will address: surface and groundwater

quantity and quality; geology and

minerals; air quality; vegetation

resources; soils; wildlife; threatened,

endangered, or candidate animal and

plant species; range resources; land uses

and access; recreation; social and

economic values; cultural resources;

reclamation; hazardous materials; and

cumulative impacts. These topics will

be evaluated by an interdisciplinary

team and will include review of the

Plan of Operations as well as other

pertinent environmental documents and

studies. A range of alternatives

(including but not limited to alternative

reclamation measures and the no-action

alternative), as well as mitigating

measures, will be considered to evaluate

and minimize environmental impacts

and to assure that the proposed action

does not result in undue or unnecessary

degradation of public lands.

Federal, state, and local agencies and

other individuals or organizations who

may be interested in or affected by the

Bureau’s decision on the Plan of

Operations are invited to participate in

the scoping process with respect to this

environmental analysis. These entities

and individuals are also invited to

submit comments on the Draft

Environmental Impact Statement.

It is important that those interested in

the proposal participate in the scoping

and commenting processes. Comments

should be as specific as possible.

The tentative project schedule is as

follows:

Begin Public Comment Period: June

1996.

Issuance of Draft Environmental

Impact Statement: November 1996.
