The National Park Service says an expanded Alton coal mine will hurt Bryce Canyon’s views and tourism. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says it will likely wipe out the southern Utah area’s sage grouse population. Those are among the comments submitted to the Bureau of Land Management as it completes its environmenal review of a plan to expand the Coal Hollow Mine from private land onto BLM held tracts about 10 miles southwest of the park. Meanwhile, Kane County officials have reiterated their support for the project. The County Commission says that the mine will create at least 240 jobs and provide $1.5 billion in economic benefits to Garfield and Kane counties over 30 years.
