Pinto Valley Mining Corp. submitted a mining plan of operations proposing to expand mining operations onto National Forest System lands to access mineralization that extends onto claims on National Forest System lands, to extend the mine life for approximately 19 years, to address existing Open Pit slope instability in the southeastern portion of the pit, and to consolidate prior authorizations that are reasonably incident to extraction, transportation, and processing of mineral deposits.

The purpose of this investigation was to assess the Property and surrounding areas to identify the presence or potential presence of recognized environmental conditions (RECs) potentially resulting in environmental impacts to the Property.

The Property is a private in-holding within the Tonto National Forest, located along Cave Creek about 6 miles north of the town of Cave Creek. The nearest large metropolitan community is Phoenix, Arizona, located approximately 25 miles south of the Property.

 

The Pond and Atlantis climbing areas are on Resolution Copper’s private property. The majority of the Mine area is located on Resolution’s property with Resolution holding mining claims to the remainder of the area.

Managing regional aquifer systems within the arid southwestern U.S. basins requires an understanding of the extent to which aquifer recharge and withdrawal impacts the systems, both spatially and temporally.

Following the Resolution Copper Groundwater Modeling Workgroup held on January 16th, SWCA forwarded an email communication detailing the questions from the U.S. EPA on January 25th (email provided in Appendix A). This memo provides responses to EPA’s comments and supporting information.

Some copper deposits can have up to a dozen strategic and critical mineral and materials as co- products, making copper a gateway mineral to these rare elements.

This is the Record of Decision (ROD) for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Tonto National Forest's travel management decision to comply with the 2005 Travel Management Rule, 36 CFR 212 Subpart B, to provide a system of National Forest System roads, trails, and areas on National Forest System Lands that are designated for motor vehicle use.
