interest during the 2006 scoping period
for the proposal. In addition, 11 copies
of the DEIS were sent to local tribal
councils who had stated an interest in
the DEIS.
On November 30, 2010, eight
individuals from the Battle Mountain
and Elko Bands of the Te-Moak
Shoshone Tribe, the Duckwater and the
Yomba Shoshone Tribes were handdelivered copies of the DEIS after a site
visit to the proposed project site. The
attending tribal members did not
provide any specific individual or
collective concerns related to the
proposal.
A news release in the local papers
announcing the availability of the DEIS
was published and the DEIS was posted
on the BLM Nevada Web site.
All comments received on the DEIS
and internal BLM review were
considered and incorporated as
appropriate in the FEIS. Based on the
proposed mitigation in the DEIS as well
as applicant committed environmental
protection measures, the BLM’s
preferred alternative is the proposed
action. The mitigation measures and the
applicant committed environmental
protection measures will become
conditions of approval of the Project.
This FEIS is abbreviated. The FEIS
document includes the changes made to
the DEIS, as well as copies of the
comments provided during the DEIS
comment period and BLM responses to
those comments. To understand the
FEIS one must have to have both the
DEIS and the FEIS and then compare
the changes.

District Manager, Battle Mountain.
