<br />I, <br />The Bureau of Land Management is proposing to offer as a <br />competitive short-term lease sale, the strippable coal reserves <br />contained within coal lease applications C-22644, C-26913, <br />C-22676, as applied for by Energy Fuels Corporation, and in <br />accordance with the short-term criteria as defined in the <br />amended court order of June 14, 1978 in NRDC vs. J~ygbgg. <br />The proposed action is not a mining plan, and the proposed <br />action does not include existing operations in the area of the <br />applications, Existing operations are discussed as part of the <br />existing environment, For the purpose of impact analysis, <br />however, the immediate applicant's (Energy Fuels Corporation) <br />plans for (1) a lease to mine coal (2) potential mining sequence <br />(3) any new facilities required (4) the destination and use of <br />the coal (5) number of new workers (6) the methods that xould be <br />used to mine and process the coal will be indicated in the <br />proposed action as the most likely actions to occur should the <br />applicant be awarded the leases through competitive bidding, <br />As required by the Federal Coal Leasing Amendments Act of 1976, <br />and in recently promulgated regulations, the lease applications <br />must be let by competitive sale, It is therefore possible that <br />an entity other than the immediate applicant may be the success- <br />ful bidder and may obtain the leases, In this instance, the <br />plans presented in this document may be sub~eet to modification <br />5 <br />
