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.
