You also requested to be able to crush your waste <br />rock to make a decorative crushed stone product. The term of the renewal you have requested <br />is five years. In a follow-up conversation on 11/25/2009, you indicated that you wished to _ <br />initially purchase a small contract for crusher feed material, so that-you-could test market the <br />product prior to-purchasfrig a larger long-term contract. BLM is willing to consider your <br />proposal, and pursue a non-competitive mineral material contract with you at that site; however <br />we need to inform you of some issue developments prior to proceeding. These issues are as <br />follows: <br />1) NEPA Adequacy. The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 requires that <br />the Federal Government analyze the environmental impact of Federal Actions. The <br />original Environmental Assessment for your quarry was completed in 2000 and analyzed <br />the production of flagstone only, and not the additional disturbance, noise, and traffic <br />associated with crushing and packaging stone. A new environmental assessment (EA) <br />will need to be prepared which addresses these issues. We envision this EA addressing a <br />FS-6200-12a
