January 2021 Rescinded FEIS

At six volumes, the January 2021 Rescinded final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) describes the potential environmental effects from two proposed actions:

1. A general plan of operations for development of a large-scale underground copper mine by Resolution Copper Mining, LLC.
2. A related, legislatively-mandated land exchange

The document analyzes several alternatives to the proposed action submitted by Resolution Copper to the Tonto. The FEIS identifies Alternative 6 – Skunk Camp as the Preferred Alternative. It also identifies mitigation measures, both required and voluntary, that would minimize, reduce, or offset impacts from the proposed project. This EIS was rescinded on March 1, 2021 in the Federal Register, it was withdrawn per the request of the submitting agency.
