Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

Navajo Transitional Energy Company’s 

Spring Creek Mine Federal Mining Plan 

Modification for Federal Coal Lease 

MTM–94378 

AGENCY: Office of Surface Mining 

Reclamation and Enforcement, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an 

environmental impact statement. 

SUMMARY: The Office of Surface Mining 

Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE) 

is publishing this notice to announce 

that, consistent with direction from the 

U.S. District Court of Montana, it will 

prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) for Navajo Transitional 

Energy Company’s (NTEC) Federal 

mining plan modification for Federal 

Coal Lease MTM–94378 (the Project). 

With this notice, OSMRE also 

announces that it will hold a public 

scoping meeting, including a 30-day 

public scoping period to receive 

comments on the environmental issues 

that OSMRE should analyze in this EIS. 

The Spring Creek Mine (SCM) is located 

in Big Horn County, Montana, 

approximately 32 miles from Sheridan, 

Wyoming. The SCM started operation in 

1974 and is expected to continue to 

operate until at least 2025 under the 

current approved mining plan. The 

proposed Project would allow 184.1 

acres of additional surface disturbance 

and recovery of an additional 51.5 

million tons (Mt) of Federal coal. Under 

the proposed Project, SCM would 

continue to mine approximately 13–18 

million tons per year (Mtpy) and the 

production would extend for an 

additional 3–4 years, depending on 

production rates. OSMRE plans to 

analyze the environmental effects of an 

annual production rate of 18 Mtpy for 

4 additional years of production, which 

is the maximum estimated future annual 

production rate. This rate is below the
