Description: This Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) responds to comments received during the public comment period on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), which analyzed impacts due to the proposed development of an open-pit gold and silver mining operation (the Talapoosa Project)...The quality of the water in the post mining pit lake, the potential for acid rock drainage from the waste rock dumps, potential impacts to ground water, and potential impacts to the adjacent private lands were key issues identified from the review of the DEIS. The Proposed Action as described in the DEIS has been modified to address these issues by developing specific monitoring and mitigation requirements and a Waste Rock Management Plan designed to minimize potential impacts from acid rock drainage.
