Public Comment
We are furnishing this notice in
accordance with section 1501.7 of the
NEPA implementing regulations in
order to obtain suggestions and

public on the scope of issues to be
addressed in the EIS/EIR. We invite
written comments from interested
parties to ensure identification of the
full range of issues.
We request data, comments, new
information, or suggestions from the
public, other concerned governmental
agencies, the scientific community,
Tribes, industry, or any other interested
party on this notice.
Written comments we receive become
part of the public record associated with
this action. Before including your
address, phone number, email address,

information in your comment, you
should be aware that the entire
comment, including your personal
identifying information, may be made

you can ask us in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to

We intend to gather information
necessary for preparation of the EIS/EIR
through this notice and the scoping
process.
We will conduct environmental
review in accordance with the
requirements of NEPA, as amended (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), its implementing
regulations (40 CFR parts 1500–1508),
other applicable regulations, and our
procedures for compliance with those
regulations. The environmental
document will be prepared to meet both
the requirements of NEPA and the
California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). The CDFW is the CEQA lead
agency. We anticipate that a draft EIS/
EIR will be available for public review
in the spring of 2017.

Public Scoping Meetings
In addition to providing written
comments, the public is encouraged to
attend a public scoping meeting to
provide us with suggestions and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM
filed an application requesting the
Assistant Secretary for Land and
Minerals Management to withdraw,
subject to valid existing rights, the
following described public land from
settlement, sale, location and entry
under the public land laws, including
the United States mining laws, the
mineral and geothermal leasing laws,
and disposal under the Materials Act of
1947, to protect the unique recreational,
historical, and visual resources, and the
Federal financial investment at the
SSRMA and Historic Site:

Sec. 7, lot 4, SE1⁄4SW1⁄4, and S1⁄2SE1⁄4;
Sec. 17, W1⁄2NW1⁄4 and NW1⁄4SW1⁄4;
Sec. 18, lots 1 thru 3, NE1⁄4, E1⁄2NW1⁄4,
NE1/4SW1⁄4, and N1⁄2SE1⁄4.
The area described contains 747.10 acres in
Tooele County.

The Assistant Secretary for Land and
Minerals Management approved the
BLM’s petition/application. Therefore,
the petition/application constitutes a
withdrawal proposal of the Secretary of
the Interior (43 CFR 2310.1–3(e)).
The purpose of the proposed
withdrawal is to protect the SSRMA’s
unique recreational opportunities,
protect the historic significance of the
site and to preserve the visual and
natural resources of the area, as well as
to ensure that Federal investments used
in developing and maintaining the site
are protected.

The use of a right-of-way, interagency
agreement, cooperative agreement,
Special Recreation Management Area
designation, or an Area of Critical
Environmental Concern designation
would not provide adequate protection.
There are no suitable alternative sites
available. The historical, visual, and
recreational resources are located at the
site proposed for withdrawal.
The Simpson Springs has historically
been a vital resource of this area.
Simpson Springs is within the proposed
withdrawal area, as are the developed
facilities, which allow the water to be
used for recreational, livestock, wildlife
and other uses. The BLM has acquired
a State of Utah water right, which
allows development and use of the
water produced by the springs.
Records relating to the application
may be examined by contacting the
BLM at the above address and phone
number.
For a period until October 11, 2016,
all persons who wish to submit
comments, suggestions, or objections in
connection with the proposed
withdrawal may present their views in
writing to the BLM Utah State Director
at the address above. Electronic mail,
facsimile, or telephone comments will
not be considered properly filed.
Comments, including names and
street addresses of respondents, and
records relating to the application will
be available for public review at the
BLM-Utah State Office, 440 West 200
South, Suite 500, Salt Lake City, Utah,
during regular business hours. Before
including your address, phone number,
email address or other personal
identifying information in your
comments, be advised that your entire
comment—including your personal
identifying information—may be made
publicly available at any time. While
you can ask us in your comment to
withhold from public review your
personal identifying information, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Notice is hereby given that an
opportunity for a public meeting is
afforded in connection with the
proposed withdrawal. All interested
parties who desire a public meeting for
the purpose of being heard on the
proposed withdrawal must submit a
written request to the BLM State
Director at the address indicated above
by October 11, 2016. Upon
determination by the authorized officer
that a public meeting will be held, a
notice of the time and place will be
published in the Federal Register and a
local newspaper at least 30 days before
the scheduled date of the meeting.
