SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March

(UEI) submitted an application for the
coal lease. If the lease is obtained, UEI
plans to mine the coal as an extension
of its existing Lila Canyon Mine. The EA
analyzes and discloses the potential
direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts
of leasing and subsequent mining of the
proposed LBA tract. The Williams Draw
coal tract has one minable coalbed
called the Lower Sunnyside bed with
underground minable portions of the
coalbed ranging from approximately 4.2
to 13.1 feet in thickness. The tract
contains approximately 64.6 million
tons of high-volatile A bituminous coal
in-place and, at an estimated 50 percent
recovery, 32.3 million tons recoverable.
The quality in the coal beds on an ‘‘as
received basis’’ is as follows: 13,151
Btu/lb., 6.80 percent moisture, 9.85
percent ash, 40.50 percent volatile
matter, 50.53 percent fixed carbon and
1.2 percent sulfur.
The tract is located in Emery County
in the Book Cliffs coal field,
approximately 125 miles southeast of
Salt Lake City. The lands are described

operation;
3. Whether this tract is likely to be
mined as part of an existing or a
proposed mine and evaluated on a
realistic incremental basis, in relation to
