Notice of Availability of the Draft 

Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statement Federal Mining Plan 

Modification for Federal Coal Lease 

MTM 082186 at the Rosebud Mine Area 

F; Rosebud Mine Area F Mining Plan 

Modification SEIS 

AGENCY: Office of Surface Mining 

Reclamation and Enforcement, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability of the draft 

supplemental environmental impact 

statement. 

SUMMARY: The Office of Surface Mining 

Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE) 

has prepared a Draft Supplemental 

Environmental Impact Statement (Draft 

SEIS) for the Federal Mining Plan 

Modification for Federal Coal Lease 

MTM 082186 at the Rosebud Mine Area 

F (Project), located in Treasure and 

Rosebud Counties, Montana. The 

proposed action would allow for 

continued mining operations in the 

Area F permit area, resulting in an 

estimated disturbance of up to 4,288 

acres and the extraction of 

approximately 71.3 million tons of coal. 

The Draft SEIS was prepared in 

response to deficiencies identified by 

the United States District Court for the 

District of Montana in the 2018 Western 

Energy Area F Final Environmental 

Impact Statement. OSMRE invites 

public comments on the Draft SEIS 

during a 45-day public comment period, 

with a public meeting to be held to 

gather additional input. 

DATES: OSMRE requests comments 

concerning the analyses in the Draft 

SEIS. All comments must be received by 

January 21, 2025. The public meeting 

will be held at the City of Colstrip City 

Hall, City Council Chambers, Colstrip 

Municipal Building located at 12 Cherry 

Street, Colstrip, Montana from 4:30 to 

7:30 p.m. MST on January 8, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OSMRE 

has prepared a Draft SEIS for the 

Rosebud Mine Area F Project for 

inclusion in its mining plan decision 

document, which will also include a 

recommendation from OSMRE to the 

Assistant Secretary for Land and 

Minerals Management (ASLM) of the 

Department of the Interior on whether to 

approve, disapprove, or conditionally 

approve the Federal mining plan 

modification. This recommendation is 

made in accordance with 30 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) 746.13. The 

Project involves Federal coal leased 

under MTM 082186 and, therefore, 

requires approval from the ASLM under 

the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920. 

OSMRE initially published an EIS for 

Rosebud Area F in November 2018. That 

EIS was challenged, and the United 

States District Court for the District of 

Montana held in Montana 

Environmental Information Center v. 

Haaland, No. CV 19–130–BLG–SPW (D. 

Mont. 2022) that the EIS failed to 

analyze a reasonable range of 

alternatives, failed to provide highquality accurate scientific analysis on 

the economic costs of greenhouse gas 

emissions from Area F, and did not take 

a hard look at cumulative impacts on 

surface water. The Draft SEIS updates 

and expands on the environmental 

analysis in the 2018 EIS and provides 

the additional impacts analysis 

identified as deficient by the district 

court. 

The Rosebud Mine is operated by 

Westmoreland Rosebud Mining LLC 

under Permit C2011003F, issued by the 

Montana Department of Environmental 

Quality (DEQ), in accordance with its 

State mine permit. As proposed, the 

Project would result in 4,288 acres of 

surface disturbance and recovery of 71.3 

million tons of coal. 

Purpose and Need for the Proposed 

Action 

OSMRE’s purpose in preparing the 

Draft SEIS is to fully analyze the 

environmental impacts associated with 

the proposed Federal mining plan 

modification for Rosebud Mine Area F. 

This analysis specifically addresses the 

deficiencies identified by the United 

States District Court for the District of 

Montana so that OSMRE can make an 

informed recommendation to the ASLM 

to approve, disapprove, or conditionally 

approve the proposed Federal mining 

plan modification for Rosebud Mine 

Area F. Westmoreland Rosebud Mining 

LLC, the current operator, will not be 

allowed to continue mining or recover 

the remaining Federal coal in Area F 

unless OSMRE completes its National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) 

analysis and the ASLM approves the 

Federal mining plan modification. 

Proposed Project 

The proposed Project would result in 

4,288 acres of surface disturbance and 

the recovery of 71.3 million tons of coal 

in the Rosebud Mine Area F. 

Summary of Expected Impacts 

Reasonably foreseeable effects of 

mining Federal coal have been 

evaluated for the following resources in 

the Draft SEIS: 

• Air quality (measured as 

concentration of criteria air pollutants 

regulated under the National Ambient 

Air Quality Standards, Hazardous Air 

Pollutants, and Air Quality Related 

Values such as visibility (haze) and 

atmospheric deposition) 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
97068 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 235 / Friday, December 6, 2024 / Notices 

• Climate and climate change 

(emissions of greenhouse gases are 

quantified and analyzed as they relate 

to climate change, measured in terms 

of carbon dioxide equivalent for both 

20-year and 100-year global warming 

potentials and characterized using the 

social cost of greenhouse gases) 

• Surface water and groundwater 

quality and quantity 

• Socioeconomic effects, including 

changes to State and local taxes, 

royalties, fees, lease bids, bonuses, 

payroll benefits, and effects on 

environmental justice populations 

• Federally listed threatened and 

endangered species and their critical 

habitats 

• Geology 

• Soils 

• Cultural resources 

• Visual resources 

• Wildlife 

• Public health and safety 

• Vegetation 

• Wetlands and riparian zones 

• Paleontology 

• Access and transportation 

• Solid and hazardous waste 

• Noise 

• Land use 

Anticipated Permits and Authorizations 

ASLM approval, disapproval, or 

approval with conditions of the Federal 

mining plan modification is required 

under the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920.

Decision Maker 

The ASLM is the decision maker for 

the Draft SEIS. 

Nature of Decision To Be Made 

Informed by the NEPA analysis, 

OSMRE will make a recommendation to 

the ASLM about the Federal mining 

plan modification associated with 

development of the Rosebud Mine Area 

F. The ASLM will use OSMRE’s 

recommendation to decide if the new 

Federal mining plan modification is 

approved, disapproved, or approved 

with conditions. OSMRE’s 

recommendation to the ASLM is based, 

at a minimum, on the documentation 

specified at 30 CFR 746.13.
