ADDE?;DUf! This addendum consists of t~•ro parts: (1) an errata section to • correct mistakes made in the Draft Technical Examination/Environ- mental Assessment (TE/El') for coal lease applications C-27432 and .C-27103, published on f•tarch 16, 1979; and (2) a comment section which records substantive comments made during the public comment period (I•tarch 16, 1979 to April 20, 1979) on the adequacy and ac- curacy of the Draft TE/EA. The errata section identifies inaccuracies and changes to be made in the Draft TE/EP•. It repeats each paragraph containing an inaccurate or inadequate statement from the Draft and then sholrs the correct paragraph to be substituted in the Final. Because of the limited number of chanoes to be made resulting from errata, a decision was made to publish only this addendum rather than republishing the entire 130-page document with only a small number of corrections made from the draft TE/EA. A comment sectior, folloars the errata. Each substantive comment re- ceived is listed and a reply is made. In most cases, the comment is taken directly from the comment letter or transcript. However, in ;; several cases, one comment was made a number of times by various commentors. All of those comments were summarized into one compre- I hensive cemTent and only one response was prepared. n LJ In addition to compiling this addendum, consultations initiated under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act Mere completed. On May 2, 1979, a memorandum was received from the Regional Director, Region 6, U.S. Fish and 4Jildlife Service stating, in part, that: "It is our biological opinion that the proposed projects are not likely to jeopardize continued existence of the bald eagle..." and that "We anticipate no problems with golden eacles provided the above cautionary mezsures are taken". (Note: Measures include limiting construction activities to over 1 mile from the nest and withholding the nest location from construction workers). I
