and consist of all coal recoverable by 

underground room and pillar, first 

mining only, mining methods in lands 

located in Wayne County, West 

Virginia. These lands lie approximately 

20 miles south of Huntington, West 

Virginia, on USACE-administered 

surface with BLM-administered 

minerals. The sub-tracts listed below 

(A–E) are so named by the USACE, in 

dividing the lands following their 

purchase: 

Sub-tract A: 174M, 184M, 177M–1, 

375M, 377M, 376ME–1, 376ME–2, 

382M, 545M, 554M, 390ME–1, 395M, 

378M, 380M, 381M, 384M, 386M, 

177M–2, 430M, 556M, containing 

1,517.00 acres 

Sub-tract B: 177M–1, containing 320.00 

acres 

Sub-tract C: 430M, 177M–1, 177M–2, 

382M, 545M, 553M, 554M, 550M, 

547M, 548M, 745M, 1450M, 1451M, 

1452M, 1453M, 517A, 517B, 

containing 1,912.00 acres 

Sub-tract D: 177M–1, containing 72.00 

acres 

Sub-tract E: 177M–1, 1718M, 1717M–1, 

containing 1,274.00 acres 

Sub-tract F: 177M–1, containing 358.00 

acres 

The areas described aggregate 5,453.00 

acres. 

The land in sub-tracts A, B, C, D, E 

and F constitutes less than the entire 

tract acquired by the United States (of 

nearly 25,000 acres) and is described in 

accordance with 43 CFR 3471.1–1. 

Further detailed definition of the tract 

can be found at: http://www.blm.gov/es/ 

st/en/prog/east_lynn_lake_coal/

documents.html. 

It should be noted that prior to 

entering onto the lease tract for any 

reason, the successful bidder and/or 

eventual lessee will be responsible for a 

survey of the boundaries of this tract, to 

be used as the final legal boundary 

certificate for this tract. The ELL 

Rockspring tract (WVES 50560) has one 

minable coal bed, the C/W seam. The 

minable portions of the coal bed in this 

area are approximately 6 to 10 feet in 

thickness. First mining only will leave 

coal pillars, structural barriers, and gas 

well barriers behind. The ELL 

Rockspring tract contains approximately 

11 million tons of recoverable highvolatile A and B bituminous coal. The 

coal quality in the coal bed on an ‘‘as 

received basis’’ is as follows: 

12,500–13,200 Btu/lb. 

7.00 Percent moisture * 

4.5–8.5 Percent ash 

28.0–32.0 Percent volatile matter 

50.0–53.0 Percent fixed carbon 

0.4–0.9 Percent sulfur 

Totals do not equal 100 percent due to 

rounding. 

* Estimated as received moisture; also 

used for calculating as received from 

dry basis 

The Argus and Rockspring tracts will 

be leased to the qualified bidders with 

the highest cash amount, provided that 

the high bid meets or exceeds the BLM’s 

estimate of the value for each tract. The 

minimum bid for each tract is $100 per 

acre or fraction thereof. No bid that is 

less than $100 per acre, or fraction 

thereof, will be considered. The bids 

should be sent by certified mail, return 

receipt requested, or be hand-delivered. 

The BLM Eastern States Office 

Cashier will mail a receipt for each 

hand-delivered bid; each hand delivered 

bid will be ‘‘date-stamped’’ by the BLM. 

Bids received after 10 a.m. local time on 

December 4, 2014, will not be 

considered. The minimum bid is not 

intended to represent fair market value 

(FMV). The FMV of the tract will be 

determined by the Authorized Officer 

after the sale. The leases that may be 

issued as a result of this offering will 

provide for payment of an annual rental 

of $3 per acre, or fraction thereof, and 

a royalty payment to the United States 

of 8 percent of the value of the coal 

produced by underground room and 

pillar mining methods (the only mining 

method considered on these tracts). The 

value of the coal will be determined in 

accordance with 30 CFR 1206.250. 

Bidding instructions for the LBA 

tracts offered and the terms and 

conditions of the proposed lease sale are 

available from the BLM Eastern States 

Office. Any company or individual 

intending to bid on either tract must 

understand that the successful bidder is 

subject to the requirements of the 

Memorandum of Understanding 

between the BLM and the USACE 

signed March 15, 2012 (see detailed 

leasing statement). Case file documents, 

WVES 50556 and WVES 50560, and 

written comments submitted by the 

public on FMV or royalty rates, except 

those portions identified as proprietary 

by the commentator and meeting 

exemptions stated in the Freedom of 

Information Act, are available for 

inspection at the BLM Eastern States 

Office.
