70023#70023 Abstract
On May 24, 2019, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published in the Federal Register an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to solicit broad feedback on different approaches to establish an emission reduction credit (ERC) bank for ozone precursors, specifically volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOX), as part of a Clean Air Act (CAA) Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) applicable to stationary sources on Indian country lands within the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation (U&O Reservation).
The purpose of the ANPRM (84 FR 24064) was to solicit broad feedback on different approaches to establish an ERC bank for ozone precursors. Such ERCs may be generated and used for several air quality planning purposes. Specifically, the credits could be used in assisting in achievement of the ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS), general conformity demonstrations, and nonattainment new source review (NNSR) permitting related to development of new VOC and NOX emissions sources in the Uinta Basin Ozone Nonattainment Area in Utah. The EPA designated portions of the Uinta Basin region nonattainment for the 2015 Ozone NAAQS, effective August 3, 2018.

69983#69983 Abstract
The Ashley National Forest is planning to prepare a Revised Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Duchesne Roosevelt District Wide Range Improvement Project. The Ashley NF proposes to modify one portion of the Duchesne Roosevelt District Wide Range Improvement Project. The decision for that project was signed on 07/27/2018. This project would only revise one part of the previous decision. The revised portion includes the Sowers Canyon improvements to the original project. The original decision authorized 5.8 miles of pipeline in the main canyon and five side canyons and hollows, five water troughs, and a water tank at the start of Sowers Canyon. The planned revisions in Sowers Canyon include 4.0 additional miles of 1.5-inch diameter buried pipe down the main canyon, and side canyons and hollows, and five additional water troughs. There are four additional proposed side canyons and hollows that would provide water to livestock. Additionally, two water storage tanks would be installed in Trappers Canyon. The original water tanks are no longer proposed. These modifications would improve livestock distribution and grazing management by improving water access and water storage for livestock.

69963#69963 Abstract
Mount Pleasant City (City) is in the process of performing an environmental review pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Rural Development in order to assess the potential environmental impacts of the City s proposed Culinary Water System Improvements Project in Sanpete County, Utah. The City has three springs (Sneak, Barton and Coal Fork) which feed the culinary water system through a shared transmission line. However, the Sneak Spring has been identified to be under the direct influence of surface water. As of September 11, 2014, the City has been turning out the water from the Sneak Spring which produces 300 gallons per minute (gpm) of culinary water. As a result, the City is currently 64 gpm short of meeting the source capacity requirement as prescribed by the State of Utah Rules for Public Drinking Water Systems. At the end of the 20-year planning period, that deficiency will increase to approximately 982 gpm without the Sneak Spring in operation.

69923#69923 Abstract
The Red and Fry Canyon Abandoned Mine Closure Project would safeguard approximately 63 hazardous abandoned mine openings in the White Canyon Mining District. The mines are located east of Lake Powell and west of Blanding in San Juan County. The project would be conducted under the mandate of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act (SMCRA). Cultural, biological and paleontological surveys and consultations have been conducted for compliance with NEPA, ESA and NHPA Section 106. The safeguard design minimizes impact to these resources. All work for this project is on BLM lands. Both the BLM and the USDOI Office of Surface Mining will complete Categorical Exclusion Determinations for the project.
