    An explanation of the ratings assigned to draft environmental

Irrigation Reservoir, Construction and Operation, Uintah Water 
Conservancy District (UWCD), Special-Use-Permit and COE Section 404 
Permit, Ashley National Forest, Vernal Ranger District, Uintah County, 
UT.



Summary



    EPA supported the USFS selection of No Action as the agency 
preferred alternative. EPA expressed environmental objections with the 
build alternative due to the unmitigable impacts to over 50 acres of 
montane peat fen and loss of a portion of a genetically pure native 
salmonid population.

    ERP No. D-AFS-L65235-ID Rating EO2, Boise River Wildfire Recovery 
Project, Implementation, North Fork Boise River and Mores Creek 
Drainages, Boise National Forest, Idaho City and Mountain Home Ranger 
Districts, Boise and Elmore Counties, ID. [[Page 11971]] 



Summary



    EPA expressed objections to the sale's potential effect on water 
quality. Additional information is needed on cumulative effects, water 
quality/fish habitat effectiveness monitoring and documentation for 
environmental effort predictions.

    ERP No. D-AFS-L81011-AK Rating LO, Helicopter Glacier Landing 
Tours, Implementation, Issuance of Special-Use-Permits, Tongass 
National Forest, Chatham Area, Juneau Ranger District, Alaska.

    ERP No. F-BLM-L67027-ID Stone Cabin Open Pit Gold and Silver Mine 
Development and Operation, Plan of Operations Approval and NPDES Permit 
Issuance, Florida Mountain, Boise District, Owyhee County, ID.



Summary



    EPA continued to have environmental concerns with the preferred 
alternative. EPA's concerns are based on the proposed mitigation plan 
for the COE Section 404 permit application for wetland fill and on the 
effectiveness of the proposed treatment technology at the Delamar mine 
site.
