Clarification Regarding the Meeting of Advisory Council on
Historic Preservation
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given, in accordance with Public Laws 92-463
and 94-579, that the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation with
assistance from the Bureau of Land Management will hold a fact-finding
public hearing to gather comments specifically regarding potential
impacts to Native American cultural and archaeological resources within
the site of the proposed Imperial Gold Mine Project from 2 p.m. to 5
p.m. and 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Thursday, March 11, 1999. The hearing
will be held in Ballroom A at the Barbara Worth Resort, located at 2050
Country Club Drive in Holtville, California.
The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation was created by the
1966 National Historic Preservation Act to advise the President and the
Congress on matters related to historic preservation. In its role with
the Glamis/Imperial project, the Council will be assisting the BLM to
fulfill its obligations under the National Preservation Act in
understanding the importance of the resources affected by the proposed
mining project. The Council will listen to testimony and work with the
State Historic Preservation Office, BLM, the tribe, and the company in
developing a memorandum of understanding which will establish
procedures on how best to protect the resources.
The site for the proposed mining project is eligible for the
National Register of Historic Places. Archaeological and cultural
inventories indicate the site has scientifically important
archeological, cultural, and spiritual value. The hearing will focus on
the Native American cultural and archaeological values within the
proposed mine site.
All public comments will be recorded, and the transcript will
become part of the record. If you are interested in providing comments,
please notify Carole Levitzky at (909) 697-5217 or Doran Sanchez at
(909) 697-5220, BLM California Desert District Public Affairs.
The proposed Imperial Project, an open pit, heap leach gold mine,
would be located in eastern Imperial County, approximately 45 miles
northeast of El Centro and 20 miles northwest of Yuma, Arizona. The
proposed project area would encompass approximately 1,625 acres of
public lands administered by the BLM, of which 1,392 acres would be
disturbed. The proposed project would be operated by the Glamis
Imperial Corporation, formerly known as Chemgold Corporation.
The Bureau of Land Management and the County of Imperial released a
joint draft environmental impact statement/environmental impact report
for the proposed project on December 8, 1997. Public comment on the
draft ended April 13, 1998.
