Subject: Proposed Soledad Canyon Sand and Gravel Mining
Operation, Los Angeles County, CA
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Department of the Interior, Palm

ACTION: Extension of public review period for Draft Environmental
Impact Statement.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management is extending the public comment
period on the draft environmental impact statement (EIS) originally
released in May 1999 to allow time to consider new information on air
quality and possibly other issues. BLM will prepare a supplement to the
draft EIS that will primarily consider the new information, and will
make the supplement available for public review period by November 17,
1999 for at least 45 days prior to the end of the extended public
comment period. The supplement will also analyze a new proposal from
the applicant to transport mine materials by a conveyor belt system
rather than by open trucks as originally proposed in the original draft
EIS released last May and other issues, if necessary.
A separate Federal Register Notice of Availability will be
published when the supplement is released to the public. BLM will
continue to accept comments on the May draft EIS, as well as comments
on the supplement, until January 3, 2000. All substantive public
comments received, and BLM's responses, will be incorporated in a final
EIS to be published in 2000.
DATES: Comments must be submitted in writing no later than January 3,
2000.
ADDRESSES: Written comments shall be mailed to the following address:
Mr. James G. Kenna, Field Manager, Bureau of Land Management, Palm
Spring--South Coast Field Office, 690 W. Garnet Avenue, P.O. Box 1260,
