(pits, overburden dumps & heap leach pads) and development of the 8-
North and 5-North deposits. Development of these deposits includes 
construction of two new pits, overburden disposal areas, additional 
heap leach facilities, new tailing impoundment, drainage diversions, 
haul and exploration roads and ancillary facilities.
    Alternatives analyzed include the Proposed Action, No Action, and 
the 8-South Partial Pit Backfill alternative. The Bureau of Land 
Management's preferred alternative is the 8-South Partial Pit backfill 
as described in the Final Environmental Impact Statement. The Final 
Environmental Impact Statement also responds to issues raised during 
the scoping period and comments received on the Draft Environmental 
Impact Statement.
