Project Description

The Proposed Action consists of conducting mineral exploration activities on public land within a 24,427 acre Project Area. This Environmental Assessment (EA) is a resource-based analysis of potential impacts that may result by implementing the Project activities. The EA analyzes impacts to resources associated with 39.2 acres of disturbance within the 24,727-acre Project Area. Surface disturbing activities would consist of utilizing the existing road network for Project access, exploration drill pads, access roads, exploration wells, cellars, sumps, up to two work yards, bulk sampling, geotechnical auger holes, geological test pits and geological and geophysical mapping. In addition, minor road maintenance and repair would include snow removal and filling holes with clean, weed-free, fill material or gravel, to provide safe and durable running surfaces. 3PL proposes to conduct exploration well drilling and brine testing on up to five new constructed drill sites and continued studies of the three wells drilled under Notice NVN-100052.
