Notice of Availability of the Final 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

Navajo Transitional Energy Company’s 

Federal Mining Plan Modification for 

Federal Lease MTM 94378 

AGENCY: Office of Surface Mining

ACTION: Notice of availability of the final 

environmental impact statement. 

SUMMARY: The Office of Surface Mining 

Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE) 

announces the availability of the final 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

for Navajo Transitional Energy 

Company’s (NTEC) Lease by 

Application 1 (LBA1) Federal Mining 

Plan Modification for Federal Lease 

MTM–94378 and MTM 110693 (the 

Project). Spring Creek Mine (SCM) is in 

Big Horn County, Montana, 

approximately 32 miles from Sheridan, 

Wyoming. The Project, as proposed, 

includes 162.5 acres of additional 

surface disturbance and recovery of an 

additional 39.9 million tons (Mt) of 

Federal coal. 

DATES: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) will also 

publish a notice of availability (NOA) in 

the Federal Register. The Final EIS 

waiting period begins with the 

publication of EPA’s NOA in the 

Federal Register and will last for 30 

days. After the waiting period, OSMRE 

will select an alternative and issue the 

Record of Decision (ROD). 

ADDRESSES: The Final EIS and 

documents pertinent to this proposal are 

available for review on OSMRE’s 

website at: https://www.osmre.gov/lawsand-regulations/nepa/projects.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Project Background 

OSMRE has prepared a Final EIS for 

SCM’s LBA1 mining plan modification 

for inclusion in its decision document 

recommending approval, disapproval, 

or conditional approval of the mining 

plan modification to the Secretary of the 

Department of the Interior (Secretary). 

30 CFR 746.13. In accordance with the 

Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 (MLA), the 

Secretary must approve, disapprove, or 

conditionally approve the mining plan 

modification because it contains lands 

with leased Federal coal associated with 

MTM–94378 and MTM 110693. The 

Secretary has delegated this authority to 

the Assistant Secretary for Land and 

Minerals Management (ASLM). 

OSMRE initially published an 

environmental assessment (EA) for 

LBA1 on October 3, 2016. This EA was 

challenged, and the United States 

District Court for the District of Montana 

held, in WildEarth Guardians v. 

Haaland, No. CV 17–80–BLG–SPW (D. 

Mont. 2021), that the EA failed to take 

a hard look at: indirect and cumulative 

effects of diesel emissions, noise, 

vibrations, and coal dust emissions; 

indirect effects of non-greenhouse gas 

from downstream combustion 

emissions; and effects related to the 

social costs of greenhouse gases. This 

Final EIS updates and expands on the 

environmental analysis in the 2016 EA 

and provides the additional impacts 

analysis identified as deficient by the 

district court. 

The SCM is operated by NTEC under 

Permit SMP C1979012, which was 

issued by the Montana Department of 

Environmental Quality (MDEQ). As 

proposed, the Project includes 162.5 

acres of additional surface disturbance 

and recovery of an additional 39.9 Mt of 

Federal coal. 

Purpose and Need for the Proposed 

Action 

OSMRE’s purpose in preparing this 

Final EIS is to fully analyze the 

potential environmental impacts of the 

proposed Federal mining plan 

modification, with particular attention 

to addressing the deficiencies identified 

by the district court, so that OSMRE can 

make a recommendation to the ASLM to 

approve, disapprove, or conditionally 

approve the proposed Federal mining 

plan modification for LBA1. NTEC, the 

current operator, will not be able to 

access or recover the remaining Federal 

coal in the LBA1 tracts unless OSMRE 

completes its analysis under the 

National Environmental Policy Act and 

the ASLM approves the Federal mining 

plan modification. 

Proposed Action and Alternatives 

Under the Proposed Action, OSMRE 

would recommend to the ASLM to 

approve the mining plan modification 

as proposed. If approved by the ASLM, 

the Proposed Action would allow 162.5 

acres of additional surface disturbance 

and the recovery of an additional 39.9 

Mt of Federal coal in the LBA1 tracts 

over a period of approximately 16 years. 

The Final EIS analyzes three 

additional alternatives: 

• No Action: Under the No Action 

alternative, the Federal mining plan 

modification for the LBA1 tracts would 

not be approved, and SCM would no 

longer be authorized to mine Federal 

coal in the LBA1 tracts. 

• Partial Mining Alternative: Under 

the Partial Mining alternative, ASLMapproval of the mining plan 

modification for the LBA1 tracts would 

end after a five-year term. As analyzed 

in this EIS, during this 5-year approval 

term, approximately 78.5 acres of 

surface disturbance and the recovery of 

19.3 Mt of Federal coal from the LBA1 

tracts are anticipated. Under the Partial 

Mining alternative, if the operator 

would like to continue mining beyond 

the initial 5-year term, the operator can 

apply for an additional mining plan 

modification. 

• Accelerated Mining Rate 

Alternative: Under the Accelerated 

Mining Rate alternative, it is assumed 

that the remaining 39.9 Mt of coal 

would be mined from LBA1 tracts at a 

rate of 18 Mt per year, which reflects the 

rate of mining that was expected to 

occur in 2016 but is unlikely to occur 

under current market conditions. If 

approved by the ASLM, the Accelerated 

Mining Rate alternative would allow 

162.5 acres of additional surface 

disturbance and the recovery of an 

additional 39.9 Mt of Federal coal from 

the LBA1 tracts, over a 2.2-year period. 

Based on the analyses contained in 

the Final EIS, and, after carefully 

considering input received during 

scoping and the public comment period 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 7 / Monday, January 13, 2025 / Notices 2745 

of the Draft EIS, OSMRE selected the 

Partial Mining alternative as the 

preferred alternative. 

Summary of Expected Impacts 

Reasonably foreseeable effects of 

mining Federal coal were evaluated for 

the following resources in the Final EIS: 

• 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) 

• Emissions of greenhouse gases as 

they relate to climate change (measured 

in terms of carbon dioxide equivalent 

for both 20-year and 100-year global 

warming potentials) 

• Surface water and groundwater 

quality and quantity 

• Socio-economic effects (including 

changes to state and local taxes, 

royalties, fees, lease bids and bonuses, 

as well as payroll benefits as well as 

effects to Environmental Justice 

populations) 

• Federally listed threatened/ 

endangered species 

• Geology 

• Soils 

• Cultural Resources 

• Visual Resources 

• Wildlife 

Anticipated Permits and Authorizations 

None. 

Schedule for the Decision-Making 

Process 

The OSMRE anticipates releasing a 

ROD in February 2025. 

Public Participation 

In addition to making the Draft EIS 

available for public comment, OSMRE 

hosted one public meeting during the 

comment period. OSMRE received 452 

written comments, including comments 

from Federal and State agencies, nongovernmental organizations, and 

members of the public. OSMRE 

addressed these comments in the Final 

EIS. OSMRE considered the public 

comments received on the Draft EIS and 

during internal OSMRE review and 

incorporated them as appropriate into 

the Final EIS. Public comments and 

internal OSMRE review resulted in the 

addition of clarifying text. The revisions 

and edits have not significantly changed 

the impact analyses. 

Lead and Cooperating Agencies 

OSMRE is the lead agency for this 

EIS. No agencies indicated an interest in 

being a cooperating agency on the EIS. 

Decision Maker 

Department of the Interior Assistant 

Secretary for Land and Minerals 

Management. 

Nature of Decision To Be Made 

OSMRE will take the analysis in the 

Final EIS into consideration as it makes 

a recommendation to the ASLM about 

the Federal mining plan modification 

associated with development of the 

LBA1 Federal coal tracts. The ASLM 

will consider OSMRE’s 

recommendation to decide whether the 

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.
