Notice of Intent: Intent to Prepare a
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement (SEIS) for the Chuitna Coal
Project in Southcentral Alaska
AGENCY: U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency.
Purpose: In accordance with section
102(2)(C) of the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA), EPA, as the lead
Federal agency, has identified a need to
prepare a Supplemental Environmental
Impact Statement (SEIS) and therefore
issues this Notice of Intent in
accordance with 40 CFR 1501.7.
For a Copy of the Scoping Document
and to be Placed on the Project Mailing

Manager, Office of Water and
Watersheds (OWW–130), U.S. EPA

SUMMARY: The Chuitna Coal Project
(Project) is located on State of Alaska
land in the Beluga Coal Field,
approximately 45 miles west of
Anchorage, Alaska. The Project is based
on the development of a 1 billion ton,
ultra low sulfur, subbituminous coal
resource. The proposed Project includes
a surface coal mine and associated
support facility, mine access road, coal
transport conveyor, personnel housing,
air strip facility, a logistic center, and
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
coal export terminal. The proposed coal
mine is located approximately 10 miles
inland from the Native Village of
Tyonek and Cook Inlet. The project
proponent, PacRim Coal, LP, predicts a
VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:01 Jun 08, 2006 Jkt 208001
coal production rate of approximately
15 million tons per year, and a 25-year
mine life based on current estimated
coal reserves.
A previous Project design was
evaluated in an EIS and permitted by
most of the applicable State and Federal
regulatory programs in the early 1990s,
although the Project did not proceed to
development. There have been
substantial changes in the Project design
and in the regulatory requirements since
this project went through the first
permitting and EIS process. Therefore, a
comprehensive, stand-alone
Supplemental EIS will be prepared for
the new proposal.
The administrative actions that the
SEIS must address include issuing an
EPA Clean Water Act (CWA) National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) new source permit and a U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers CWA section
404 and Rivers and Harbors Act section
10 permit. The SEIS will also address
issues related to the Alaska Surface Coal
Mining Control and Reclamation Act
(ASCMCRA) permit, which governs all
aspects of the mining operation and
infrastructure. The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers and the State of Alaska are
participating as cooperating agencies in
the NEPA process.
Alternatives: The alternatives to be
evaluated include: The ‘‘no action’’
alternative, wastewater discharge
alternatives and alternative discharge
locations. In addition, the SEIS will
evaluate mine access road and conveyor
alignment alternatives, and coal export
terminal alternatives. Additional
alternatives may be developed based on
comments received during scoping.
Scoping: The public scoping period
begins with the publication of this
Notice and concludes July 24, 2006.
EPA invites Federal agencies, Native
Tribes, State and local governments, and
members of the public to comment on
the scope of the SEIS. Scoping meetings
for the purpose of identifying issues to
be evaluated in the SEIS will be held in
Kenai on July 10, in Anchorage on July
11, and in the Tyonek and Beluga
communities on July 12, 2006. The
exact locations and times of the
meetings will be announced in local
papers. The public is invited to attend
and identify issues that should be
addressed in the SEIS. A scoping
document that explains in greater detail
the project and alternatives identified at
this time will be sent to known
interested parties. The public can obtain
a copy of the scoping document by
contacting Hanh Shaw at the phone
number, e-mail address, and mailing
address listed at the above in this
notice.
