• 2.1 Purpose for Increase in Affected Land <br /> Henderson requires this increase in affected lands to accomodate construction <br /> and operation of a conventional overland conveyor system for transporting <br /> crushed ore to the mill from the mine. The conveyor will replace the existing rail <br /> system which has deteriorated over the past 20 years of operation. <br /> 2.2 Scope <br /> The scope of this plan pertains to the PC3 Conveyor corridor and affected lands <br /> that will be disturbed as a part of the Henderson 2000 project. The scope does <br /> not include reclamation of the surface portions of the conveyor route for PC2 as <br /> this conveyor corridor will be placed along existing disturbed affected lands <br /> currently incorporated into the Permit. By reference, reclamation plans and <br /> • specifications included as part of the Permit for the Henderson railroad grade, <br /> portal yard, and existing structures remain in effect. This Amendment does not <br /> address or supplant approved reclamation plans for currently disturbed acreage <br /> in affected lands outside the PC3 corridor. Changes or modifications of existing <br /> reclamation designs for areas ancillary to the PC3 structure, and newly affected <br /> lands within the corridor may be handled by future TRs. <br /> The guiding document for assessment of environmental impacts associated with <br /> the PC3 Conveyor corridor is the USFS EA. This document addresses the <br /> breadth of issues and considerations made for NEPA required evaluations of <br /> socioeconomics, wetlands, wildlife, species protection, air quality, hydrology, and <br /> alternative use for public lands. <br /> Also included by reference are plans directed at mitigation and reclamation of <br /> wetland disturbances that will occur as part of the PC3 Conveyor construction. <br /> • prpi� <br /> a <br /> January 16.19% <br /> PIan.dw <br />
