i <br />I. 9 ~ ri *.ion of th^ °r~o^~ed action <br />j The Bureau of Land Management is proposing to offer as a <br />competitive short-term lease sale, the strippable coal reserves <br />i 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, 1970 in NRDC vs. Hughes, <br />The proposed action is not a mining plan, and the proposed <br />1 action does not include existing operations in the area of the <br />applications. Existing operations are discussed as part of the <br />1 eristin6 environment. For the purpose of i~apact analysis, <br />~ however, the ia~.mediate applicant's (Energy Fuels Corporation) <br />1 <br />~ plans for (1) a lease to mine coal (2) potential mining se4_ence <br />(3) any new facilities required (4) the destination and use of <br />Ii the coal (5) number of new workers (6) the methods that woo=d be <br />1 used to sine and process the coal will be indicated in the <br />i proposed action as the most likely actions to occur should the <br />e <br />~ applicant be awarded the leases throush competitive bidding. <br />I <br />As required by the.Federal Coal Leasing Amendments Act of 1976, <br />and in recently prpmu'-gated regulations, the lease applications <br />must be let by competitive sale. It is therefore possible that <br />! an entity other than th_ immediate applicant may be the success- <br />ful bidder and may obtain the leases. In this Snstance, the <br />Ilif <br />plans presented in this docuaent may be sub,)ect to mod ificatlon <br />J = <br />
