American CuMo Mining Corporation (TSXV:MLY,OTCPINK:MLYCF) the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) has issued the final supplemental decision notice (DN) and finding of no significant impact (FONSI) regarding American CuMo Mining Corp.’s CuMo exploration project, located approximately 14 miles north of Idaho City in Boise county, Idaho, and encompassing approximately 2,885 acres of land located within the Boise national forest.
As quoted in the press release:

The Supplemental Environmental Assessment (SEA) informing this decision includes analysis to address the 2012 Memorandum Decision and Order from the US District Court for the District of Idaho concerning groundwater analysis. Regarding concerns about potential impacts to water quality in general and to ground water specifically, the SEA (Section 2.3.2, p. 36) includes the following language,
These monitoring and mitigation measures are consistent with the applicable sections of the Groundwater Protection and Best Practices for Mineral Exploration, as outlined in Appendix B of the Considerations for Groundwater Evaluation in Mineral Exploration Drilling (USDA FS 2014b). Therefore, this level of monitoring and mitigation is sufficient to minimize potential impacts to groundwater quality or identify impacts to groundwater.
The SEA analysis was also updated to address new information acquired subsequent to the February 2011 Environmental Assessment (EA) and related DN/FONSI and clarified other points in the analysis per public comments. Construction of up to 10.2 miles of temporary roads and up to 137 drill pads and 259 drill holes will be allowed over a period of four years.
The final supplemental DN/FONSI and associated documents for the CuMo Exploration Project are available at https://www.fs.fed.us/nepa/fs-usda-pop.php/?project=21302.

American CuMo Mining Corporation President and CEO,Shaun Dykes, stated:

On behalf of American CuMo Mining Corporation, Idaho CuMo Mining Corporation, and the CuMo Project team, we are pleased that the US Forest Service has issued the final Decision Notice and Finding of No Significant Impact. This milestone represents three years and over one million dollars of CuMoCo’s time and money. We are excited to return to complete the important exploration work that is needed to advance the Project to the next phase.
The US Forest Service has done an excellent job and is holding the CuMo Project to the highest standards under NEPA. All aspects of the environment in the exploration area have been researched by experts, independently studied and determined not to be adversely affected by the CuMo Project. The CuMo Project and NEPA rely on science and science doesn’t lie. The environmental opposition has yet to acknowledge the science backing our exploration or CuMoCo’s commitment to partnering in addressing the current historic environmental issues.
