Book excerpt: This draft environmental impact statement (EIS) assesses the environmental consequences of a decision by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to hold a competitive, sealed-bid sale and issue a lease for a federal coal maintenance tract in Campbell County, Wyoming, as a result of a coal lease application submitted by Kiewit Mining Properties, Inc. (Kiewit). As applied for, the Hay Creek II coal lease-by-application (LBA) tract includes approximately 419 acres containing approximately 77.2 million tons of federal coal. If a lease sale is held and the applicant acquires the lease, Kiewit proposes to mine the tract as a maintenance lease for the existing, adjacent Buckskin Mine.
