Southwest Traffic Engineering

This document, TIA Addendum #2, has been prepared in response to additional discussions and comments from USFS (United States Forest Service).

This Addendum to the Original TIA (TIA Addendum) also further explores possible mitigation measures and evaluate crash rates at the intersections of N Smeltertown Road/Main Street, Silver King Mine Road/US 60 and Main Street/US 60.

The Draft EIS focused the quantitative traffic analysis solely on the intersections. Based on public comments received, we request that a number of highway segments between intersections also be analyzed for directional impacts.

As part of the alternatives analysis for the Resolution Copper Mine Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), an alternative filter plant location and tailings storage facilities (TSF) are being considered for detailed analysis.

The purpose of this traffic study is to evaluate the current and future transportation system at the proposed Resolution Copper Mine expansion without and with the project. Traffic operations were analyzed at existing, key intersections located near the proposed mining operations and facilities during construction and final operations. Revised April 13, 2017.
