July 28, 2016 Subject: Fix the Broken Federal Coal Program! Dear Director Kornze and Division Chief Leverette, The guidelines governing coal mining on public lands haven’t been reviewed in over a generation, and coal executives are taking advantage of outdated rules at the expense of westerners. In Colorado, coal companies have been gaming the system to buy coal for $0.23 a ton. That’s over 17 tons of coal for the price of a Big Mac. While coal CEOs get bigger bonuses, western communities face destroyed landscapes, air and water pollution, climate pollution, and over $28 billion in lost revenues that could be used to improve our schools and roads. Coloradans aren’t getting a fair share from the resources mined on public lands. It’s time to modernize this program. For the first time in nearly 30 years, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has committed to fixing the broken coal program. The BLM has asked for feedback and they need to hear from you. Western economies and energy development have entered the 21st century, but our federal coal guidelines haven’t kept up. We need modern standards that reduce pollution, address climate change, deliver a fair return to taxpayers and local governments, and ensure mine cleanup that safeguards local communities. Tell the BLM to put westerners first. Please see below for the 2,369 people that signed this letter.
