<br />FINDING OF NO SICNIFICAN'T INIP.4CT/DECISION RECORD <br />Environmental Assessment No. CO-SJFO-00-l0EA <br />Bureau of Land Management <br />San Juan Field Office <br />Durango, Colorado <br />Finding of No Significant Impact <br />This proposed Federal action is to approve the Coal Lease Modification COG-60941. <br />Based on the analysis of the impacts as analyzed in the Environmental Assessment No. <br />CO-SJFO-00-10EA, I have determined that impacts to the human environment are not <br />expected to be significant, therefore an enviromnental impact statement is not required, <br />This finding is based on the following: <br />-Extensive mitigation measures will be attached as stipulations to the permit. These <br />• mitigation measures are directed at minimizing short and long term impacts to minerals, <br />vegetation and soils; cultural resources; and visual aesthetics. <br />-After mitigation measures are applied, surface and subsurface disturbances are not of <br />significant scale in terms of context or intensity. <br />-With the application of these mitigation measures, this project will not contribute <br />significantly to the cumulative impacts of the region as a result of coal mining. <br />Recortunended by: ~ ~ ~ Date: r/ /l~~ <br />Calvin N.
