<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>On April 27, 2022, this office notified you that “The U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE), Regions 5, 7-11 has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the Black Butte Pit 15 Mining Plan Modification for federal coal lease WYW-6266.” We further invited comments and questions regarding the EA.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>OSMRE’s work on National Environmental Policy Act analysis for the Black Butte Pit 15 Mining Plan Modification is ongoing and is not yet complete. We will notify you when that analysis is publicly noticed and available for comment, and we regret any confusion flowing from our earlier correspondence.</span></span> </span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Additional information regarding this project may be obtained from Logan Sholar at (303) 236-6038.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-top:8px; margin-bottom:8px; text-align:justify"><strong>BACKGROUND</strong></p>
<p style="margin-top:8px; margin-bottom:8px; text-align:justify">The U.S. Department of the Interior, Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement, Regions 5, 7-11 is preparing an environmental assessment for the Black Butte Pit 15 Mining Plan Modification for federal coal lease WYW-6266. In accordance with the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, the DOI Assistant Secretary for Land and Minerals Management must approve the project before any mining and reclamation can occur on lands containing leased federal coal. Black Butte Coal operates the Black Butte Coal Mine under a permit issued by the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality-Land Quality Division in accordance with the approved Wyoming State Coal Regulatory Program (30 CFR Part 950).</p>
<p>OSMRE is preparing the EA to evaluate the environmental impacts, pursuant to the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). The Black Butte Coal Mine is located in Sweetwater, Wyoming. Approval of the mining plan modification would facilitate mining 10.235 million tons of recoverable federal coal from 399 acres (331 acres of additional disturbance) over 5 to 10 years, depending on needs of the Jim Bridger Power Plant, where the coal is used. The annual coal production rate is anticipated to remain at 2.25 million tons per year. This rate is below the maximum permitted production rate of 5 million tons per year limit set by WDEQ-Air Quality Division Air Quality Permit P0026670. The life of the Black Butte Coal Mine depends on the needs of the Jim Bridger Power Plant, which is planned to be retired in 2037.</p>
<p>The EA will disclose the potential direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts on air quality and greenhouse gas emissions, based on new information provided by the mine since the publication of the BLM’s lease modification decision in 2017.&nbsp;The BLM’s 2017 Black Butte Lease Modification EA will be incorporated by reference into this EA in accordance with 40 CFR 1501.12.</p>

<div class="paragraph paragraph--type--text-field paragraph--view-mode--default paragraph--id--1326">
<div class="paragraph__column">
<div><p>The Falkirk Mine is located in McLean County, North Dakota. The Falkirk Mine uses standard surface strip-mining procedures to mine private and Federal coal resources. Coal is currently mined from multiple permit areas. The proposed Federal mining plan under consideration would mine coal in Federal lease NDM-111489 within the boundaries of the existing permit areas. The proposed Federal mining plan would allow mining of up to 9.6 million tons of coal from 800 acres of Federal coal tracts.</p>
<h3>Background</h3>
<p>On October 30, 2019, the Falkirk Mining Company (Falkirk) submitted a Federal coal Lease-by- Application (LBA) for its Falkirk Mine to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Montana/Dakotas State Office and amended their application on June 8, 2020. The application requested emergency leasing; however, BLM determined that emergency leasing was not eligible under 43 CFR 3425.1-4. As a result, BLM will process the LBA under the competitive leasing guidelines per 43 CFR 3425.1-5. The BLM will be processing this application concurrently with the Office of Surface Mining, Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE).</p>
<p>BLM and OSMRE will jointly prepare a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) document to evaluate the potential environmental effects of leasing and subsequent mining of the Federal coal tracts in accordance with NEPA, the National Historic Preservation Act, Endangered Species Act, and other applicable regulations. As co-leads in the development of the NEPA document, BLM and OSMRE will use the document to facilitate their respective permitting action decisions. BLM will use the document to determine whether to lease the tracts, and if the tracts are leased, OSMRE will use the document to support a Federal Mining Plan recommendation.</p>
<p>The LBA addresses planned activities to lease and surface mine Federal coal at the Falkirk Mine located in McLean County, North Dakota. This application has been serialized - NDM 111489. The LBA Tracts include approximately 766 acres that contain approximately 9.6 million tons of recoverable coal, and are located as follows:</p>
<p>If Falkirk obtains landowner consent on the remaining portion of the northwest quarter of Section 2 prior to posting of the lease sale, they may amend their application to encompass a total of 800 acres. Across the 800 acres, approximately 87.3 percent of the land surface is covered by cropland that is primarily used for spring wheat production. The remaining land surface is occupied by wetlands (5.9 percent), hay lands (1.6 percent), native grassland (1.2 percent), farmstead (0.5 percent), shelterbelts (0.4 percent), and rights-of-way (3.1 percent).</p>
<p>BLM and OSMRE completed internal scoping and have identified preliminary analysis issues that will be evaluated in the NEPA document. Direct, indirect, and cumulative effects of mining federal coal will be evaluated for the following resources:</p>
<p>Class III cultural surveys were completed for all areas within Falkirk’s existing permit areas as well as the proposed northern expansion area on the east permit. No prehistoric or historic cultural sites were identified on the federal coal tracts; mining the federal coal would have No Effect to cultural resources. Falkirk will work with the North Dakota Public Service commission to fulfill any state required consultation requirements for sites on private lands/private coal.</p>
<p>Additionally, BLM evaluated the proposed action for Resource Management Plan (RMP) consistency and identified all or portions of several proposed tracts as unavailable for coal. These areas include 22 seasonal wetlands totaling approximately 21 acres and 14 temporary wetlands totaling approximately 5 acres that provide habitat for migratory birds (43 CFR § 3461.5). The NEPA document will detail the wetland mitigation and reclamation plan for these areas.</p>

<div><p>The Freedom Mine is located in Mercer County, North Dakota. The Freedom Mine uses standard surface strip-mining procedures to mine private and Federal coal resources. Coal is currently mined from multiple permit areas. The proposed Federal mining plan under consideration would mine coal in Federal lease NDM-111186 within the boundaries of the existing permit areas. The proposed Federal mining plan would allow mining of up to 19.2 million tons of coal from 2,000 acres of Federal coal tracts.</p>
<h3>Background</h3>
<p>On May 17, 2019, the Coteau Properties Company (Coteau) submitted a Federal coal Lease-by- Application (LBA) for its Freedom Mine to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Montana/Dakotas State Office. The application requested emergency leasing; however, BLM determined that emergency leasing was not eligible under 43 CFR 3425.1-4. As a result, BLM will process the LBA under the competitive leasing guidelines per 43 CFR 3425.1-5. The BLM will be processing this application concurrently with the OSMRE.</p>
<p>BLM and OSMRE will jointly prepare a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) document to evaluate the potential environmental effects of leasing and subsequent mining of the Federal coal tracts in accordance with NEPA, the National Historic Preservation Act, Endangered Species Act, and other applicable regulations. As co-leads in the development of the NEPA document, BLM and OSMRE will use the document to facilitate their respective permitting action decisions. BLM will use the document to determine whether to lease the tracts, and if the tracts are leased, OSMRE will use the document to support a Federal Mining Plan recommendation.</p>
<p>The LBA addresses planned activities to lease and surface mine Federal coal at the Freedom Mine located in Mercer County, North Dakota. This application has been serialized - NDM 111186. The LBA Tracts include approximately 880 acres that contain approximately 12.80 million tons of recoverable coal, and are located as follows:</p>
<p>Coteau is currently working to obtain surface owner consent for several additional tracts. If consent can be obtained prior to the posting of the lease sale, Coteau plans to modify their application to include those additional tracts. The additional tracts comprise 1,120 acres containing approximately 19.2 million tons of recoverable coal and are located as follows:</p>
<p>Combined, the proposed action (880 acres) and additional tracts (1,120 acres) comprise 2,000 acres containing approximately 32 million tons of recoverable coal. BLM and OSMRE completed internal scoping and have identified preliminary analysis issues that will be evaluated in the NEPA document. Direct, indirect, and cumulative effects of mining federal coal will be evaluated for the following resources:</p>
<p>Additionally, BLM evaluated the proposed action for Resource Management Plan (RMP) consistency and identified a multiple use conflict. There is a woody draw with steep slopes located in T. 144 N., R. 89 W. Sec. 12, NW¼, SW¼ that was identified as a multiple use conflict in the 1988 North Dakota Resource Management Plan. Multiple use screens cannot be changed at the activity planning level without an RMP amendment (43 CFR 3420.1-4e(3)).</p>

<div><p>The Mountain State Broadband Expressway (MSBE) project is an initiative of the Upshur County Regional Development Authority (UCDA) to address limiting factors for broadband proliferation in 20 counties in West Virginia and therein create needed infrastructure for economic development. The MSBE Project’s mission is to construct fiber-connected towers on or adjacent to Abandoned Mine Land (AML) sites to expand fiber resources into unserved and underserved areas to facilitate competitive providers’ offering of broadband services.</p>
<h3>Background</h3>
<p>A Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA), complying with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) was published separately for the MSBE Project. The PEA also addresses the phasing of the site identification, environmental reviews for the specific construction activities, and references the development of this Programmatic Agreement (PA).</p>
<p><strong>Notice of Availability of Programmatic Agreement For Section 106 of The National Historic Preservation Act of 1969</strong></p>
<p>The U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE) Interior Regions 1 and 2—a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Interior—has prepared a draft programmatic agreement (PA) to comply with National Historic Preservation Act of 1969 (NHPA) Section 106 consultation procedures. This document applies to an Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation Economic Development Pilot Program (AML Pilot Program) project, entitled the Mountain State Broadband Expressway (MSBE), proposed by the Upshur County Regional Development Authority (UCDA). The MSBE project is an initiative of the UCDA to address limiting factors for broadband proliferation in 20 counties in West Virginia and therein create needed infrastructure for economic development. The MSBE Project’s mission is to construct fiber-connected towers on or adjacent to AML sites to expand fiber resources into unserved and underserved areas to facilitate competitive providers’ offering of broadband services. OSMRE has prepared this PA to address the phasing of site identification and specific construction activities and to provide an overall process to evaluate and assess the historic, cultural, and tribal resources and any potential effects as the sites are located.</p>
<p>The PA has been prepared in accordance with 54 U.S.C. § 306108 (Section 106) of the NHPA 54 U.S.C. §§ 300101-307108, the implementing regulations at 36 C.F.R. Part 800, and the Presidential Executive Order 13175, Presidential Memorandum on Tribal Consultation. Federal agencies are required to take into account the effect of their undertakings on historic and cultural properties and provide the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) a reasonable opportunity to comment on those effects. Pursuant to 36 C.F.R. § 800.16(y), an “undertaking” is defined as a “project, activity or program funded in whole or part under the direct or indirect jurisdiction of a federal agency”. For undertakings, such as the MSBE, for which Section 106 is applicable, OSMRE must complete the consultation process to comply with statutory requirements.</p>

<div><p>The OSMRE, Regions 5, 7-11, will prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Spring Creek Mine Mining Plan Modification for Federal Coal Lease MTM 94378 (the Project) as ordered by the US District Court in Montana.</p>
<h3>Details:</h3>
<p>The EIS will provide an update to the Spring Creek Mine (SCM) Lease by Application (LBA) 1 Mining Plan Modification EA (2016 LBA1 EA), which was published by the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE) on October 3, 2016. This EIS provides additional information that specifically addresses the February 3, 2021 Court ruling provided by the United States District Court for the District of Montana (the Court) in Guardians v. Bernhardt, No. CV 17-80-BLG-SPW (U.S. District Court of Montana 2021). The court order identified that the 2016 LBA1 EA failed to take a hard look at the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Indirect and cumulative effects of diesel emissions, noise, vibrations, and coal dust based on the final destination and routes of SCM coal shipments.</li>
<li>Indirect effects of non-greenhouse gas from downstream combustion emissions.</li>
<li>Effects related to the social cost of carbon.</li>
</ul>
<p>Most of the information provided in the 2016 LBA1 EA has not changed and, therefore, will be incorporated by reference in this EIS. This EIS will also incorporates by reference information included in the coal leasing EA for LBA MTM 94378 EA# MT-020-2007-34 (2006 LBA EA) which was prepared by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). OSMRE and the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) were cooperating agencies on the 2006 LBA EA. The 2006 LBA EA was the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) analysis document used by OSMRE to recommend approval of the 2012 SCM Federal mining plan modification. In addition to the 2016 LBA1 EA and 2006 LBA EA, the EIS will incorporate by reference information included in the Environmental Assessment for the Spring Creek Mine Mining Plan for Federal Coal Lease MTM-069782 (Spring Creek Mine TR1 EA) and the Bull Mountains Mine No. 1 Federal Mining Plan Modification EA for Federal Coal Lease MTM 97988 (2018 Bull Mountains EA).</p>
<p>As a part of the planning process, OSMRE has initiated a 30-day scoping period on the proposal starting on <b><i>March 17, 2022 </i></b>and ending on<b><i> April 18, 2022</i></b>. Public scoping comments are being requested to identify any additional relevant issues concerning the mining plan modification that should be evaluated in the NEPA document. Scoping comments are most useful when they are specific, cite relevant issues and/or determine the extent of those issues. OSMRE will also hold a public scoping meeting to provide information about the mine plan modification and NEPA process and collect scoping comments from the public. Members of the public that plan to attend the public scoping meeting must pre-register at the following link: <a href="https://doitalent.zoomgov.com/meeting/register/vJIsf-ChpzkuHMqHfRmYkWWAHUtRvSmEG9k" title="Scoping Meeting Registration"><em><strong>ZOOM Registration LINK</strong></em></a>.
