2.03.7 Relationship to Areas Designated Unsuitable £or Mining.
(1) The areas of Leases C-37210 and C-27432 were
studied for designation as unsuitable for
mining prior to obtaining the leases in May,
1984, and September, 1979, respectively.
Unsuitability criteria were applied to the
lands of Lease C-37210 in the BLM's update of
the Management Framework Plan and
Environmental Impact Statement for Round Two
of the Uinta-Southwestern Utah regional coal
sale. With the application of exceptions to
the criteria, and provided certain mitigation
measures were followed, the tract was
considered suitable for mining (USDOI BLM,
1983).
Based on an Environmental Analysis written on
the Lease C-27432 tract, the BLM concluded
that the area fell under none of the
• unsuitability criteria. A copy of the
unsuitability study can be found in the TE/EA
Appendix, Volume 9A which contains Technical
Examination/Environmental Analysis done by the
BLM on the Lease C-27432 application.
Unsuitability criteria were applied to the
lands of Lease COC-53356 in conjunction with
the Uncompahgre Basin Resource Management Plan
(1989) and the Uinta-Southwest Utah E18
(1983). Unsuitability decisions affecting the
Lease COC-53356 application area were reviewed
and exceptions to Criteria 11 and 14, found
applicable to the lease C-37210 tract, were
also found to apply to this tract. In
addition, new exceptions to Criteria No.'s 9
and 14 were found to apply to Lease COC-53356.
Discussion of the new exceptions found
applicable is presented in Environmental
Analysis U-92-34 (BLM, 1992) completed for
this tract and included in the TE/EA Appendix,
Volume 9A. 2 7
