BLM Rock Springs Seeking Comment on Bridger Coal Lease Modification

The Bureau of Land Management Rock Springs Field Office has launched a public comment period on an environmental assessment on a proposal by Bridger Coal Company to expand their coal lease by 320 acres for underground mining. Shelley Gregory says that the additional acres are in the checkerboard region of mixed public, private and state owned land.






Bridger Coal Company operates the Jim Bridger Coal Mine complex which includes surface, underground, and highwall mining methods, along with ongoing reclamation, and has been in production since 1974.
