BLM is seeking consent from the Wayne National Forest to lease federal coal under the Forest. If consent is given, there will be no surface use of the lands proposed for leasing: only underground mining would be permitted.
Location
The proposed coal parcels are north of the village of Glouster, OH and east of the village of Corning, OH. Burr Oak Reservoir is south of the project area.
