Description: This Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) analyzes potential impacts associated with Newmont Mining Corporation's (Newmont's) proposal to develop the Emigrant Project (Proposed Action), a proposed open pit gold mine located approximately 10 miles south of Carlin, Nevada. Newmont submitted a Plan of Operations for development of the Emigrant Project in February 2004, revised May 2004, and re-submitted with further revision in March 2007. The Proposed Action provides for development and operation of an open pit mine; construction of a waste rock disposal facility, run-of-mine heap leach pad, permanent engineered stream channel, ancillary support facilities; and reclamation of surface disturbances in the Emigrant Project area. Approximately 1,418 acres would be disturbed by mine-related facilities, including 248 acres of private land and 1,170 acres of public land (including 442 acres of split estate). The Emigrant Project would have a 14-year operational mine life and produce approximately 92 million tons of ore and 83 million tons of waste rock. Closure activities may continue for a period of up to 30 years after mining activity is completed.
