Mining Company Removed Coal From Unleased Land

Report Number
20-0127

The OIG investigated allegations that Bronco Utah Operations, LLC (Bronco), a coal mining company based in Utah, improperly removed Federal coal without a lease. We determined that Bronco trespassed into unleased Federal coal deposits that resulted in a loss of public revenues. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) granted Bronco a right-of-way that allowed the company to tunnel through Federal land to continue the company’s coal operations designated by its mining plan.
