ACTION: Notice of intent.
SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(c) of the National Environmental

(BLM), Grand Junction Field Office located in Grand Junction, CO, will

The EIS will analyze the development of surface facilities for coal
mining associated with CAM's proposed underground Red Cliff Mine,
including roads, a water pipeline, coal stockpile and waste disposal
areas, a coal preparation plant, the mine portal, other administrative

to the existing Union Pacific Railroad line near Mack, Colorado.
Cooperating agencies include the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the
Office of Surface Mining, the Colorado Department of Natural Resources,
Mesa County, and Garfield County. The BLM invites the public to
participate in the NEPA process.
DATES: The scoping comment period will commence with the publication of
this notice and terminate at 45 days. A public meeting will be held
during the scoping comment period in Fruita, Colorado. Comments on the
scope of the EIS, including concerns, issues, or proposed alternatives
that should be considered, can be made at the public meeting or can be
submitted in writing to the address below. The date of the public
meeting will be announced through the local media, newsletters, and the
BLM Red Cliff Mine mailing list. The Draft EIS is expected to be
available for public review and comment in Spring 2007 and the Final
EIS is expected to be available in late 2007.
