Containing 4,325.01 acres, more or less, in
Carbon County, Utah.
UtahAmerican Energy, Inc., submitted
the application for the coal lease. The
company plans to mine the coal as an
extension from their existing Aberdeen
Mine, if the lease is obtained. The Dry
Canyon Coal Tract has three minable
coal beds; the Aberdeen, the
Kennilworth and the D seam bed. The
minable portions of the coal beds in this
area average 10 feet in thickness for the
Aberdeen seam, 8 feet in thickness for
the Kennilworth seam, and 6 feet in
thickness for the D seam. The tract
contains an estimated 42.2 million tons
of recoverable high-volatile A/B
bituminous coal. The coal quality in the
coal beds on an ‘‘as received basis’’ is
as follows: (1) Aberdeen: 13,414 Btu/lb.,
2.35 percent moisture, 5.57 percent ash,
41.86 percent volatile matter, 49.83
percent fixed carbon and 0.49 percent
sulfur; (2) Kenilworth: 13,287 Btu/lb.,
2.06 percent moisture, 6.91 percent ash,
42.88 percent fixed carbon and 0.72
percent sulfur; (3) D: 12,470 Btu/lb.,
6.00 percent moisture, 8.00 percent ash,
39.00 percent volatile matter, 47.00
percent fixed carbon and 0.50 percent
sulfur.
The tract will be leased to the
qualified bidder of the highest cash
amount provided that the high bid
meets or exceeds the BLM’s estimate of
the fair market value (FMV) of the tract.
The minimum bid for the tract is $100
per acre or fraction thereof. No bid that
is less than $100 per acre, or fraction
thereof, will be considered. The
minimum bid is not intended to
represent the FMV. The FMV of the tract
will be determined by the Authorized
Officer after the sale. The lease that may
be issued as a result of this offering will
provide for payment of an annual rental
of $3 per acre, or fraction thereof, and
a royalty rate of 12.5 percent of the
value of coal produced by surface
methods, and 8 percent of the value of
the coal produced by underground
mining methods. The value of the coal
will be determined in accordance with
30 CFR 1206.257.
