Dear concerned citizens:
This letter provides an update of the proposed San Francisco Peaks mineral
withdrawal and the White Vulcan Mine
expansion. For those of you who have recently provided comment, I thank you
for your input. Your comments have been
included in the project record for both proposals and your name has been
added to our mailing lists so you will receive
future related documents. The issues and concerns expressed in your
Comments will be considered as part of our
environmental analysis of the proposals.
A public meeting that will be address the proposed San Francisco Peaks
Mineral withdrawal has been scheduled for
March 31, 1999, 5:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M., at the Flagstaff City Council
Chambers. This meeting will provide interested
persons an additional opportunity to comment on the proposed withdrawal.
The San Francisco Peaks withdrawal
proposal will be part of the Flagstaff/Lake Mary Ecosystem Analysis (FLEA),
which will result in an amendment to the
Coconino National Forest Land Management Plan. Additional opportunities for
input will be available through the FLEA
process.
The initial scoping process, in compliance with the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA), has been completed for
the proposed expansion and new plan of operations for the White Vulcan
Mine. We have asked Tufflite Inc., the
operators of the mine, to provide additional information that is necessary
to adequately evaluate the environmental
effects of their proposal as the NEPA process develops.
If you have any question or wish to have a discussion concerning the above
subjects, contact Ken Jacobs at the Peaks
Ranger District. By mail 5075 N. Highway 89, Flagstaff, AZ, 86004
