This would result in no <br />development of the Federal coal on these lands and no associated <br />surface disturbance. This alternative could shorten the life of the <br />existing mine, and the unleased Federal coal in these areas could be <br />bypassed. The recoverable Federal coal that would be bypassed under <br />this alternative would total 16,066,600 tons in both the Little <br />Middle and Fish Creek areas. These areas encompass the remaining <br />surface mineable coal in the area. There are not sufficient <br />quantities of unleased surface mineable coal left in the area for <br />the existing company to come back and mine economically, nor a new <br />company to come in at a later date. <br />E-6 <br />0001E <br />08/15/85 <br />
