Title 11 . Natural Resources
Chapter 85 . (No Regulations Filed)
Section 10. Competitive designation

11 AAC 85.010. Competitive designation

(a) Except as provided in (b) of this section, state land will be designated as competitive for coal leasing purposes if the coal potential of the land for commercial development has been determined to be high or moderate by the division of geological and geophysical surveys after reviewing all available data. Land will be ranked as high potential if potentially commercial reserves are proven by drilling or field investigation. Land will be ranked as moderate potential if the probable existence of potentially commercial reserves is indicated by proximity to coal outcrops or drill holes.

(b) Land may not be designated as competitive for coal leasing purposes if the commissioner determines that there exists an irreconcilable conflict with surface use, and that coal development is not the highest and best use of the land.
