ACTION: Notice of availability (NOA) of
record of decision.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) announces the
availability of the Record of Decision
(ROD) for the Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) for the West Mine Area,
Freedom Mine Coal Lease Application.
The EIS analyzed the potential impacts
of leasing and mining federal coal on
lands in Mercer County, North Dakota.
BLM’s decision was to approve the
implementation of Alternative C, which
analyzed the impacts of offering for
competitive lease sale approximately
5,334 acres containing approximately 89
million tons of recoverable lignite coal.
Alternative C incorporates a
preservation component for Native
American cultural resources by
bypassing approximately 237 acres and
an estimated 4 million tons of federal
coal which would have been leased
under Alternative A (the Proposed
Action Alternative). Alternative C also
allows for the recovery of federal coal
which would be bypassed if not leased
under Alternative B (the No Action
Alternative).
The BLM received 26 written
comments on the draft EIS. These
comments and BLM’s responses to them
were included in the final EIS. All of the
comments and the transcript of the
formal hearing are on file in the
Dickinson, ND and Billings, MT Offices
of the BLM. BLM also received 13
written comments on the final EIS. All
of the comments received during the
