Draft EISs

    ERP No. D-USN-K11107-CA Rating EC2, Naval Station Treasure Island 
Disposal and Reuse Property, Implementation, Local Redevelopment 
Authority (LRA), City of San Francisco, San Francisco County, CA.

[[Page 43596]]

    Summary: EPA raised environmental concerns about the lack of 
mitigation for projected air quality impacts; the absence of 
information on the location and amount of dredging and dredged material 
disposal associated with future reuse of Naval Station Treasure Island; 
and hazardous materials substances contamination at the site.

Final EISs

    ERP No. F-AFS-J65350-MT West Lake Timber Sale and Road 
Decommissioning Project, Implementation, Gallatin National Forest, 
Hebgen Lake Ranger District, Gallatin County, MT.
    Summary: EPA expressed environmental concerns and recommended that 
a higher level of road decommissioning be incorporated into the 
preferred alternative. Reductions in road density are critical to 
aquatic health and wildlife, including the threatened grizzly bear. EPA 
also believes that, to fully assess and mitigate all potential impacts 
of the management actions, additional information should be presented 
regarding aquatic monitoring.
    ERP No. F-AFS-J65351-MT Beaverhead-DeerLodge National Forest, 
Noxious Weed Control Program, Implementation, Integrated Weed

Jefferson, Powell and Madison Counties, Dillon, MT.
    Summary: EPA expressed environmental concerns regarding the 
potential for unwanted herbicide transport to surface and ground waters 
and other sensitive areas. EPA believes a minimal level of monitoring 
for herbicides in sensitive waters should be conducted.

Interim Operating Plan (IOP), Alternative 7R Final Recommend Plan, 
Emergency Sparrow Protection Actions, Implementation, Everglades 
National Park, Miami-Dade County, FL.
