The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), South Pacific Division (SPD) has completed a Record of Decision (ROD) for the Rosemont Copper Project in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act. The ROD is available on the Corps, SPD Website at: http://www.spd.usace.army.mil/Missions/Regulatory/PublicNotices.aspx. The ROD follows the issuance of a Final Environmental Impact Statement (Final EIS), a Supplemental Information Report (SIR), and a Second SIR in July 2016. The Final EIS was prepared by the U.S. Forest Service, as the lead federal agency, to analyze the direct, indirect, and cumulative effects associated with the development of the Proposed Action and a reasonable range of alternatives. The SIRs were prepared by the U.S. Forest Service to evaluate new information, including comments, received after the publishing of the Final EIS, to determine whether any additional analyses (including a supplement to the Final EIS) were necessary for compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act.
