Kings Road Mine reviewed by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

Two scoping meetings with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) on March 26 and 27, in Inglis and Chiefland respectively, added to the scoping process, which began Feb. 19.

This process is where the USACE gathers verbal and written input from the public to help the corps review and analyze data. In this instance, the proposed Tarmac King Road Limestone Mine is under review. The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is being created, USACE EIS Project Manager Ed Sarfert said.

The two EIS hearings are not the end of public input.

Questions and comments can be submitted to Sarfert until April 26, he said, for the EIS. Comments and questions can be mailed to him at 41 N. Jefferson St., Suite 111, Pensacola, FL 32502-5794. Complete information about the EIS is available at http://www.kingroadeis.com.

After the USACE finds the broadest view to scope, it will create a draft EIS by early 2009. Then there will be another public hearing after people are given 45 days to review the draft. More input is sought then from the public, Sarfert said.
