    6. The BLM will review and approve the building design, 
construction, materials, and landscaping plans to assure that the 
facilities blend with the existing landscape character of the adjoining 
lands. The BLM will also review and approve the design plans for other 
facilities such as cattle guards and fences to assure that they meet 
BLM specifications.
    7. Sixty days prior to an abandonment of the City of Rocks

held to agree to an acceptable termination (and rehabilitation) plan.
