SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Final SEIS analyzes the direct, indirect 
and cumulative impacts related to expansion of existing mine facilities 
(pits, overburden dumps & heap leach pads) and development of the 
Millennium Projects. Development includes construction of five new 
pits, overburden disposal areas, two additional heap leach facilities, 
drainage diversions, haul and exploration roads and ancillary 
facilities. Alternatives analyzed include: (1) Moving the Trout Creek 
Diversion toward the west, farther from the Red Rock Pit, (2) 
increasing backfilling along the west high wall of the Red Rock Pit, 
and (3) taking no action. The agency-preferred alternative is 
alternative number 2; increasing backfilling along the west high wall 
of the Red Rock Pit. The Final SEIS contains in its entirety the 
analysis originally presented in the Draft SEIS (issued April 5, 2003) 
with all text changes presented in bold type. In addition, letters 
received during the Draft SEIS comment period and the agency's 
responses to the comments have been incorporated into the Final SEIS.

    Dated: June 30, 2003.
