NI-6W10.- The Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) Kanab Field Office (KFO) announced today that they are beginning to prepare an Environmental Tmpact Statement (EIS) and initiate scoping for a Federal Coal Lease Application from Alton Coal Development LLC. The application is to lease Federal coal on 3,581 acres (more or less) of public and private land near Alton, Utah. According to Rex Smart, KFO Manager, "The public needs to be involved in the process as early as possible so we can be aware of and address all concerns with the proposal. We have already identified several issues - potential impacts in the vicinity of the tract to city and county facilities and occupied residences, potential health issues related to blasting operations conducted by the mines to remove overburden and coal, and impacts to livestock grazing, big game herds and hunting, etc. - but we still need to hear from the public about their issues. Comments are most useful when they are as specific as possible."
