DEMING — The Bureau of Land Management today began a 30-day public comment period on proposed adjustments to the Foothill Dolomite Mine Project.
 
In 2021, the BLM  approved American Magnesium, LLC’s request to develop and operate a 40-acre quarry on public lands 12 miles south of Deming in Luna County for 20 years.
 
The proposed adjustments would make operational changes to the site, including new access points and equipment staging. The comment period closes Wednesday September 13th, 2023.
 
Dolomite, a type of limestone, is a key source of magnesium, which has been identified as a critical mineral by the Federal Government.
 
American Magnesium, LLC recently submitted an amendment to their existing plan to add an additional staging area, and access the southern portion of the project area via an existing road and two rail lines.
 
For additional information and to submit comments please visit the BLM National NEPA register or mark comments ATTN: Foothill Dolomite Mine EA Amendment and mail or hand deliver to BLM Las Cruces District Office, 1800 Marquess St., Las Cruces, NM 88005.
 
For more information, contact the BLM Las Cruces District Office at (575) 525-4300.

Hello. I am concerned of how this will affect the ibex hunting in that area. Hunters come from all over to hunt.
