From the BLM documents (http://www.blm.gov/style/medialib/blm/az/pdfs/nepa/projects/kingman/12.Par.55496.File.dat/AZ-C010-12-0055-EA-DR-FONSI.pdf). This is all to bring the mine back to operation, well documented by Rizzo and Smith both independent mine consultants. Can you post a link saying otherwise???

In brief, the proposed Project includes the following activities that aredescribed in the Chloride Copper Project MPO:

Mine copper oxide ore obtained from previously disturbed areas including the existing ore stockpiles, old mill tailings, heap leach pad, and upper open pit (MPO Section 1.1.1).

Construct a new leaching system and re-start the existing solvent extraction/electrowinning plant to recover copper from a leachate concentrate (MPO Section 1.1.1).

Reclaim previous surface disturbance and safety hazards at the Mine Site that resultedfrom past operations of the Emerald Isle Mine (MPO Section 1.1.3).

Install a new 69 kilovolt (kV) electric power line and substation to operate the Mine (MPOSection 2.3.1).

Install a new 12 kV electric power line across public land to the mine’s water supply wells,located two miles north of the Mine Site (MPO Section 3.0).

Re-establish water supply lines and the access road to the Mine Site (MPO Section 3.0).

Reclaim disturbed portions of the Mine Site and safety hazards, with the exception of the
open pit, which will remain fenced following operations (MPO Section 8.0).

Decommission a single phase powerline and a portion of a three phase powerline that would be replaced by the proposed 69 kV transmission line.
