Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 149 / Friday, August 1, 2008 / Notices 44959 

The purpose of this EIS is to provide a 

timely evaluation of the environmental 

impacts of the proposed plan of 

operation and determine whether to 

approve the Plan as proposed or to 

require additional mitigation measures 

to protect the environment (in 

accordance with Forest Service 

regulations for locatable minerals). 

The need for action is to allow Sunroc 

Corporation to exercise their rights 

under U.S. mining laws. Sunroc has a 

right to develop its claims as set forth 

by the General Mining Law of 1872 as 

amended. These laws provide that the 

public has a statutory right to conduct 

prospecting, exploration, and 

development activities (1872 Mining 

Law and 1897 Organic Act), provided 

they are reasonably incident (1955 

Multiple Use Mining Act and case law) 

to mining and comply with other federal 

laws. 

The Forest Service has the 

responsibility to protect surface 

resources. Mining regulations state that 

‘‘operations shall be conducted so as, 

where feasible, to minimize adverse 

environmental effects on Nation Forest 

System surface resources (36 CFR 

228.8)’’ provided such regulation does 

not endanger or materially interfere 

with prospecting, mining, or processing 

operations or reasonably incident uses 

(1955 Multiple Use Mining Act and case 

law). 

Proposed Action 

The proposed federal action is to 

approve Sunroc Corporation’s Plan of 

Operation with mitigations needed to 

protect other non-mineral surface 

resources consistent with Forest Plan, 

regulations, and other applicable laws. 

Possible Alternatives 

1. No Action, 2. Approve the Plan as 

presented, 3. Approve the Plan as 

presented by Sunroc Corporation, with 

stipulations necessary to protect the 

non-mineral resources of the area. 

Responsible Official 

Rod Player, Acting Forest Supervisor, 

Manti LaSal National Forest, 599 West 

Price River Drive, Price, Utah 84501. 

Nature of Decision To Be Made 

The federal action being considered in 

this environmental analysis is the Forest 

Service decision to approve the 

proposed Plan as submitted, or to 

decide what additional mitigations are 

needed to protect other resources as 

provided for in 36 CFR 228.8. 

Scoping Process 

Scoping will include NOI to Federal 

Register, listing in the Quarterly 

Schedule of Proposed Actions, letters to 

interested and affected individuals, 

agencies, and organizations, and legal 

notices. No public meeting is planned. 

Preliminary Issues 

Some of the proposed mining area is 

in inventoried roadless area, in key 

winter range, and the proposed 

disturbance does not meet visual quality 

objectives of the Forest Plan. 

Permits or Licenses Required 

The approved Plan of Operation 

authorizes mining. Operations must be 

consistent with Forest Service 

Conditions of Approval, and other 

applicable laws and regulations. 

Comment Requested 

This notice of intent initiates the 

scoping process which guides the 

development of the environmental 

impact statement. 

Early Notice of Importance of Public 

Participation in Subsequent 

Environmental Review: A draft 

environmental impact statement will be 

prepared for comment. The comment 

period on the draft environmental 

impact statement will be 45 days from 

the date the Environmental Protection 

Agency publishes the notice of 

availability in the Federal Register. 

The Forest Service believes, at this 

early stage, it is important to give 

reviewers notice of several court rulings 

related to public participation in the 

environmental review process. First, 

reviewers of draft environmental impact 

statements must structure their 

participation in the environmental 

review of the proposal so that it is 

meaningful and alerts an agency to the 

reviewer’s position and contentions. 

Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corp. v. 

NRDC, 435 U.S. 519, 553 (1978). Also, 

environmental objections that could be 

raised at the draft environmental impact 

statement stage but that are not raised 

until after completion of the final 

environmental impact statement may be 

waived or dismissed by the courts. City 

of Angoon v. Hodel, 803 F.2d 1016, 

1022 (9th Cir. 1986) and Wisconsin 

Heritages, Inc. v. Harris, 490 F. Supp. 

1334, 1338 (E.D. Wis. 1980). Because of 

these court rulings, it is very important 

that those interested in this proposed 

action participate by the close of the 30- 

day comment period so that substantive 

comments and objections are made 

available to the Forest Service at a time 

when it can meaningfully consider them 

and respond to them in the final 

environmental impact statement. 

To assist the Forest Service in 

identifying and considering issues and 

concerns on the proposed action, 

comments on the draft environmental 

impact statement should be as specific 

as possible. It is also helpful if 

comments refer to specific pages or 

chapters of the draft statement. 

Comments may also address the 

adequacy of the draft environmental 

impact statement or the merits of the 

alternatives formulated and discussed in 

the statement. 

Reviewers may wish to refer to the 

Council on Environmental Quality 

Regulations for implementing the 

procedural provisions of the National 

Environmental Policy Act at 40 CFR 

1503.3 in addressing these points. 

Comments received, including the 

names and addresses of those who 

comment, will be considered part of the 

public record on this proposal and will 

be available for public inspection.
