Coyote Creek Mining Company owns and operates the Coyote Creek Mine in Mercer County, North Dakota. The Coyote Creek Mine uses standard surface strip-mining procedures to mine private and Federal coal resources. Coal is currently mined from two permit areas: NACC-1302. The proposed Federal mining plan under consideration would mine coal in Federal lease NDM-110277 within the existing boundaries of North Dakota Public Service Commission Permits NACC-1302. If approved, the proposed Federal mining plan would allow the mining of 5.2 million tons of Federal coal within approximately 320 acres. The EA and the unsigned Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) are available for review as of December 7, 2023.
