a Ph.D. Student presented to City Council. In November 2021 Staff provided a letter of support to
BSU Hazard, Climate and Resilience Institute for a grant to complete a project called "Humanizing
Flood and Other Hazard Data for Use in Local Resilience Planning". In their Grant Application
BSU Hazard, Climate and Resilience Institute proposed a case study in Valley County, Idaho,
specifically the cities of Cascade, McCall, and Donnelly, to develop a web tool that consolidates
relevant flood, other hazards, social vulnerability, and critical infrastructure data such that it can
be easily understood and used by local officials for risk reduction, decision -making, and resilience
planning. This project has a special focus on mapping and helping the communities identify risks
to their community lifelines (FEMA, 2020). The successful result will (1) help planners,
emergency managers, and decision -makers better identify vulnerabilities and prioritize hazard
mitigation actions, (2) enable communities to better understand and communicate risk, and (3)
help communities execute more holistically informed planning decisions for community safety,
sustainability, and continuity of operations. BSU Hazard, Climate, and Resilience Institute has
been approved for funding. Dr. MacPherson-Krutsky highlighted the anticipated timeline for the
project and its goals.

National Forest Regarding Proposed Action for Perpetua Resources Stibnite Gold
Project, the 2021 Modified Mine Plan
City Manager Anette Spickard presented to Council. On October 28, 2022, the Payette National
Forest published the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SDEIS) for the mining
permit application by Perpetua Resources (formerly known as Midas Gold) with a 75 -day public
comment period with a deadline of January 9, 2023. In addition to the written public comment
period, a public meeting and open house will be hosted by the Forest Service in McCall on
Tuesday, December 6 from 5-8 pm. The location will be announced in a future edition of the Star
News.
The Council provided comments on the first DEIS for the project on October 12, 2020. City staff
has been working to draft a new comment letter in response to the SDEIS. Council is scheduled to
do a final review and approval of the comment letter at the December 15 meeting. The City's
comments will focus on areas that impact the City. Manager Spickard reviewed the traffic study
noting the study did include Lick Creek Rd instead of Warm Lake Rd. Additionally, The City has
already commented on the cons of using Lick Creek Rd and the impact it would have on the City.
The previously proposed Boydstun/Deinhard route has been agreed to by Perpetua Resources
instead of using the originally proposed downtown route. The mining project construction will
bring an estimated sixty vehicle trips through McCall a day. A potential shift in recreation traffic
to McCall was noted in the study due to visitors accessing the backcountry through Lick Creek Rd
instead of Warm Lake Rd to avoid mining traffic.
Mayor Giles adamantly expressed the need to see the social impacts the expected traffic changes
will have on the community disclosed. Manager Spickard noted Perpetua Resources has been in
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 7 of 8
December 1, 2022 Regular Meeting
communication with Idaho Transportation Department and the City regarding participation in
upgrade projects to the Deinhard/Hwy 55 intersection if the mining project is approved.

go through downtown noting the hazards of spills. Manager Spickard noted the same concerns
were brought up in Council's original comment letter. Additionally, Manager Spickard reviewed
the recreational and climate change impacts of the mining project. Council Member Nelson would
like to see more on the housing impact on the community. Council thanked Manager Spickard for
the work put into drafting a comment letter in response to the SDEIS.

Way more climate friendly policies, I hope that a thorough review of climate change impacts
McCall ID from the proposed SGP will be included in the City's comment letter. Thank you, Melissa

Jack 1045 Neutral Dear City Council, As you make your comments tonight regarding the Stibnite Gold Project,
McManus Valley Rim please keep in mind that the carbon emissions from this mining operation will be equivilent
Rd McCall to idling a car for nine million years. I am concerned about idling for 30 seconds, and the
Idaho thought of leaving it running for nine million years sickens me. Please keep the impacts to
83638 Climate Change in the forefront of your decisions tonight. Thank you, Jack McManus
Meghan 903 N 1st Neutral I am writing to respectfully ask the City Council to please wait on reviewing and completing
Minshall Street your comment letter for the Payette National Forest on the Stibnite Gold Project until after
McCall ID the presentation by IHESG on December 15. The comprehensive study we have
83638 commissioned has brought in very important information that the public and city council
should be aware of before moving forward. Thank you so much! Meghan Minshall
Beth 914 Neutral Thank you for the opportunity to comment! I ask that you please wait to submit a letter
Kochevar Strawberry about the Stibnite Gold project until after you hear from IHESG in their presentation on
Ln. McCall December 15th. It will be more beneficial to have all information from info sessions before
ID 83638 submitting any letter to the Forest Service on behalf of the City.
Mary 302 Neutral McCall City Council, The Idaho Headwaters Economic Study Group (IHESG) has
Petterson Mather Rd commissioned a professional, independent, comprehensive study of the socioeconomic

Judith 13775 Neutral Dear Council members and Staff, I know that you have been working hard on assessing your
Anderson Nisula greenhouse gas emissions and taking steps to reduce them . I have been so impressed at
Road your efforts and your embracing of the urgency to address climate change. In that vein I am
McCall hoping you take a careful look at the SDEIS (page 4-60 to 4-72 in Volume 2). I think you will
Idaho be astonished at the amount of greenhouse gas emissions that will come from that
83638 proposed Stibnite Gold Mine. Basically the mine's emissions will double the per capita
emissions of Valley County and drastically undercut the city's laudable efforts to curtail their
own emissions. And the mine offers no substantial mitigations. As a corollary, the mine is
very energy intensive consuming roughly 394,000 megawatts of electricity annually enough
for approximately 20,000 homes. This kind of irresponsible action by a new extractive
industry should be met with local demands for accountability and mitigation. In addition if
you read the sections I referenced you will see that many of the troubling side effects of the
mine, like air pollution, higher water temperatures, difficulty establishing revegetation,
depletion of groundwater, danger of slope failures, loss of critical wetlands, etc. will all be
exacerbated and accelerated by the rapidly changing climate. This will lead to a degree of
risk and uncertainty that should lead us to question the whole plan. I certainly hope you will
take this into consideration when you address the issue of writing a comment on the SDEIS.
Sincerely, Judy Anderson
steve 915 Neutral HI I recommend the Council wait to draft and review any comments or letters on the Gold
jones Fairway Project modified plan until you hear from the Headwaters Study Group as they are still
Drive receiving and completing documents on the economic impact of this project. The
McCall Headwaters Group is schduled to come to your meeting on December 15 please wait till
Idaho you hear the findings. Thank you

Samuel 101 Poplar Neutral While I do not live within the city limits of McCall I do live in rural Valley County. I am writing
Stoddard Lane to request that the City Council wait to submit its comment letter to the Payette National
Cascade Forest Service regarding the proposed Stibnite Gold Project until the Idaho Headwaters
Idaho Economic Study Group makes it's presentation to you on December 15. I believe that you
83611 will find the information contained in the presentation is significant, relevant and important
to any future decisions about the proposed project. Thank You Samuel Stoddard

Bowes Commerce comments. AB 22-308 Request to Review and Discuss first Draft of Comment Letter to

ID 83638- Project, the 2021 Modified Mine Plan (ACTION ITEM) Since the Idaho Headwaters Study

asking the council to please wait on their comment letter to the Forest Service until they
hear from IHESG in their presentation to the council which will be on December 15th. Thank
you for your time on this matter.
Dave Petty 912B Neutral I am writing to ask the council to hold off on drafting a comment letter to the Forest Service
Fairway Dr regarding the Stibnite Mine SDEIS until the socio-economic report commissioned by the
McCall ID IHESG and the many local businesses who contributed to it's funding. I believe that the
83638 study funded by Perputua many years ago does not adequately address the issues
confronting McCall and Valley county today. I appreciate the time you have given the IHESG
for the December 15th council meeting but ask that you wait for the additional information
that will be provided to the council then before drafting a letter to be submitted by our
local representatives. Thank You Dave Petty
Nick 403 Floyde Neutral Hello, I'm writing to encourage the Council to delay drafting comments regarding the
Kunath Street Stibnite Gold Project and the Forest Service's Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact
McCall Statement until after the IHESG economic report is published for review. This upcoming
Idaho economic report MUST be considered by the council if you truly wish to consider all
83638 relevant information and how dramatically this proposed project could impact McCall and
our way of life.
