SUMMARY: Twin Falls County, Idaho has made application to purchase 
1083.77 acres of public land managed by the Bureau of Land Management 
(BLM), on which they propose to construct, operate and maintain a state 
of the art ``Subtitle D'' solid waste facility. The proposed project is 
located near Hub Butte, 10 miles south of the City of Twin Falls, 
Idaho. The purpose of the proposed facility would be to bring Twin 
Falls County into compliance with the Resource Conservation and 
Recovery Act (RCRA) and its associated regulations, 40 CFR 257 and 258 
``Subtitle D''. These regulations set forth many new requirements for 
solid waste facilities that are in operation after April 9, 1993 that 
the existing facilities in Twin Falls County do not meet. The proposed 
facility would be constructed and administered by Twin Falls County and 
would be operated by a private contractor.

DATES: All comments must be received by BLM or postmarked by April 15, 
1994. A formal public meeting to receive comments on the Draft 
Environmental Impact Statement and Draft Plan Amendment (DEIS/DPA) will 
be held on February 15, 1994 in the College of Southern Idaho cafeteria 
in Twin Falls, ID from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

ADDRESSES: Comments regarding the DEIS/DPA may be made orally at the 
meeting or they can be submitted in writing to the Burley District 
Manager, Bureau of Land Management, Route 3, Box 1, Burley, Idaho

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Draft 
Plan Amendment (DEIS/DPA) has been prepared which identifies resource 
values and analyzes the environmental impacts to these resource that

alternative. The Bureau of Land Management is the lead Federal Agency 
in the preparation of the TFSWF DEIS/DPA.
