Description:

This project is posted in the interest of transparency and response to Executive Order 14241.

 

The project sponsor proposes to conduct surface mining of bentonite using the cast-back process. A sequence of small pits (generally 1-3 acres in size) are dug to access and remove the bentonite deposit. As the pits progress through a sequence, reclamation begins at the first pit and follows the active mining as overburden is backcast from the new pit to the previous pit in the series. A total of up to 112.03 acres are proposed to be disturbed on unpatented mining claims, 158.65 acres of unpatented mining claims are in the plan modification. Mining will commence after this modification to the project sponsor‘s current plan of operations is approved.
