ll~ining - <br />Contlnuad tromPay-'6-.. t <br />authofi~edofficer. <br />Allan Belt, aiev~ re~tiice man- <br />ager for the BLhd."3'~1 hC tloesn't <br />expect too much surface distur- <br />bance by the prop(SSi~expansion. <br />"I went out there with our <br />resource team and looked al it. <br />What they have planned as far as <br />surface disturbances is nothing <br />more than an access road and vent <br />shaft," Belt said. <br />As for economic impact, the EA <br />states, "The use of the federal Icasc <br />extends the mint life by 15 years, <br />which means the income and <br />employment effects of the mine <br />would be Cor a longer period. At <br />the estimated production Icvel of <br />800,000 tons per year of federal <br />coal, 90 employees would be <br />needed to mint the coal. <br />"The mine, with the federal <br />Icase would Icad to 311 jobs <br />statewide, of which 156 could be <br />located within the county. These <br />new jobs would rcprescn[ a two <br />percent increase to the county's <br />1990 employment Icvcl. <br />"Very few new workers would <br />need to move to the area because <br />waiting lists of mine workers to fill <br />these jobs exist." <br />Bear said he sees those numbcrs® <br />as the result of a cumulative cCfcct,: <br />and doesn't want to convey theme <br />notion that he's going to hire 156: <br />new miners. <br />Instead, he said Somerset will <br />probably hire about six new miners- <br />as a result of the addition of the <br />least lands. '' <br />Bear said the BLA4's numbers <br />come from the fact that, "a miner: <br />has kids in school. They need a y <br />teacher. The teacher has to get his <br />hair cut by a barber, and so on." <br />Other items to be discussed at <br />the hearing include possible actions .~ <br />and altcmativcs by the BLM, the <br />method of mining to be cntployed = <br />to obtain the maximum economic -_ <br />recovery of the coal and the meth- <br />ods oC determining the Cair market <br />value of the coal to be offered. - <br />Written comments about thC' <br />application will be taken by the <br />BLM until May 11. _ <br />Comments may be sent to Allan <br />Belt, Uncompahgre Basin <br />Resource Area Manager, 2505- <br />Townsend Ave., D7ontrose, C73-' <br />81401. Requests to testify at the:' <br />hearing can be made by calling - <br />Belt at 249-6047 prior m dtc hear-, <br />ing dale. <br />
