<br />amendment application (Energy Fuels present proposal). From that point, <br />the application would follow the regular lease issuance procedure. <br />Environmental assessment would be minimal if amendment boundaries conform <br />to original lease application boundaries. If boundaries change, then <br />EA time would or could increase significantly due to consultation requir- <br />ments. / ~~~ <br />Herb Conley and Al Whitaker are to get together and work out the details~!<<~T~ G~. <br />for notification to BLM from DOW and coordination needs. Kent Crofts ~,11~E <br />Taill be the contact point for Energy Fuels. <br />Energy Fuels and DOW then wanted to discuss the Yellow Jacket property/ <br />ldoodc}~uck Hill exchange proposal. I suggested we discuss this matter <br />as a separate issue at another meeting since it, in my opinion, had no <br />direct bearing on the subject tract under consideration. Al Whitaker <br />felt it should be considered as a possible mitigation for this action <br />and that Tae should consider all the elk in the Williams Fork Unit as <br />one herd. We disagreed and requested that any change in the subject <br />~ ]ease be confined to biological data of the immediate area. The Yellow <br />~~~ Jacket project could appear to some as a buy-off or an "under the table" <br />influence. Sde also stated that we felt the amendment of the lease should <br />be based on current available information and not on an exchange that <br />could take }•ears or studies that T:ould carry on for several years. We <br />also a::T•ised DOS+' that some of their proposal on the amendment of the <br />lease T: ere probably outside our legal jurisdiction (i.e., studies, hiring <br />by E.F.) and that these items would best be handled by agreement between S~',~,"'~ <br />D012 ana E.F. DOi: requested that we obtain an opinion on what could be II~j <br />considered as a stipulation in the lease. 1 <br />Enc;rgy rT~els also identified to us that they plan to apply under Short- <br />Term Criteria for the 1+'olf Creek coal seam under the Wadge (C-22466 <br />coT•ers manly the l;a,?re) as it is considered to be significant in this <br />area (+ - 36 million ton). The ldolf Creek seam extends to the west I f„LLCyt,~ <br />outside lease C-22466 and Trill require additional unsuitability analysis. N°/ <br />Attachr..ent <br /> <br />
