Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA), we, the Office of Surface
Mining Reclamation and Enforcement
(OSM), plan to prepare an
environmental impact statement (EIS) to
analyze the effects of possibly revising
our regulations pertaining to excess
spoil generation and disposal and
stream buffer zones. On January 7, 2004,
we published in the Federal Register
proposed changes to regulations
regarding excess spoil disposal, the
stream buffer zone, and corresponding
changes to the stream diversion
regulations. We have subsequently
determined that preparation of an EIS
would be an appropriate mechanism to
fully assess alternative approaches to
these specific proposed actions and
their potential impacts. By this notice,
we are announcing our intent to prepare
an EIS on this rulemaking initiative and
are asking for your help in identifying
the significant issues and specific
