On June 9, 1992, the USDA, Forest Service, as lead agency, issued a Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for a proposal to develop a mine for copper extraction in the Pinto Creek/Powers Gulch area in the Federal Register (57 FR 24461). The purpose of this revised notice is to inform the publics of the following: 1. A revised release date for the draft and final EIS; 2. The availability of a Scoping Report document, and Update To Plan of Operations, a Closure and Reclamation Plan and a revised Mine Site Plan further describing changes to the proposal; 3. The additional of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality as cooperating agencies; 4. A change in the appeal regulations. The draft EIS is now expected to be completed and available for public review in January, 1995. The final EIS is expected to be available in June, 1995. Following several months of scoping and public meetings, a Scoping Report was completed in July, 1993, and mailed to all publics who had requested to be placed on the project mailing list. The initial plan of operations for the Carlota Mine was filed in February, 1992. As additional planning and engineering work was completed, and in response to agency and public comments and suggestions, the proponent submitted an Update to Plan of Operations in January, 1993, a revised Mine Site Plan dated 12/15/93, and a Closure and Reclamation Plan in June, 1994. Copies of the Scoping Report, Update to Plan of Operations, Mine Site Plan and Closure and Reclamation Plan are available for public review at the following locations: Forest Service Supervisor's Office, Phoenix, Arizona; Forest Service District Ranger's Office, Globe, Arizona. The revisions will increase ore production and extend the life of the project. Based on review of those revisions, no new issues were evident which were not identified in the initial public scoping. Upon completion of the draft EIS, copies will be distributed to interested and affected agencies, organizations, and members of the public for their review and comment. The EPA will publish a Notice of Availability of the draft EIS in the Federal Register. The comment period on the draft EIS will be 45 days from the date the EPA publishes the Notice of Availability. It is very important that those interested in this proposed action participate at that time. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality are participating in the analysis process as cooperating agencies for the purposes of their permitting processes. Effective November 4, 1993, in the Federal Register (58 FR 58904), a new [[Page 9004]] appeal regulation become effective. The decision on this proposed action will be subject to Forest Service appeal regulations (36 CFR part 215).
