Navajo Mine
Pinabete Permit Application Package
BHP Navajo Coal Company (BNCC) submitted an application to the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM) to develop a new permit area for surface coal mining and reclamation operations for post July 6, 2016 Navajo Mine operations. BNCC also proposes to relocate approximately 2.8 miles of the Burnham Road (BIA Road 3005; also known as Navajo Road N-5082) to the eastern portion of the Mine Lease. The Burnham Road is a public road that provides, among other things, access for local residents to the Burnham Chapter House. The road relocation is necessary due to the close proximity of the road to mining operations and to improve safety and access for local residents and others using the Burnham Road for local and through traffic. The new permit area, referred to as the Pinabete Permit, consists of portions of the current Navajo mine permit area (NM-0003F) and unpermitted areas of BNCC’s mining lease, located immediately south of the Navajo Mine permit area. The application is submitted to continue surface coal mining and reclamation operations past July 6, 2016 (Navajo Tribal Coal Lease 14-20-603-2505) pursuant to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 30, Subchapter E, Part 750. BNCC’s permit revision application was determined by OSM to be administratively complete on May 10, 2012.
