Lakeland, Fla. — The Army Corps of Engineers gave the public until July 31 to comment on its recently released draft Environmental Impact Study (EIS) of all proposed mining in the south-central area of Florida. The report was more than 1,000 pages long, and environmentalists had requested additional time to study the draft EIS. The study looked at impacts of mining plans for more than 115,000 acres in Manatee, DeSoto, Hillsborough, and Hardee counties, as well as another nearly 151,000 acres that could be mined. The Corps plans to issue its final report in December.
