Based on the results of the analysis in the EIS, the BLM will select a preferred alternative and document the decision in a Record of Decision (ROD). If a development alternative is selected, the BLM would approve the applications as submitted or make modifications. The details of constmction methods, scheduling of activities, and environmental protection measures would be included in the authorization of the applications. Based on the analysis in the EIS, the BLM will make a decision regarding the competitive leasing of federal coal included in CAM's Lease by Application. Other agencies may also use information presented in this EIS as they review the project in the context of their authorizing actions. Chapter 2 presents CAM's Proposed Action, the No Action alternative, and other alternatives that would meet the Purpose and Need for this project. The potential environmental impacts or consequences resulting from the implementation of each alternative are then disclosed and analyzed in Chapter 4.
