Virgin River Management Framework Plan, Utah; Proposal Amendment

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of intent

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice is to advise the public that the Bureau of Land 
Management (BLM) is proposing to do a plan amendment for the Virgin 
River Management Framework Plan (MFP) located in Washington County, 
Utah.

DATES: The comment period for this proposed plan amendment will 
commence with publication of this notice. Comments must be submitted on 
or before January 5, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dale Ross, Realty Specialist, Dixie 
Resource Area Office, 225 North Bluff Street, St. George, UT 84770. 
Existing planning documents and information are available at the above 
address or telephone (801) 673-4654. Comments on the proposed plan 
amendment should be sent to the above address.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM is proposing to amend the Virgin 
River MFP which included lands in Washington County, Utah. The proposed 
amendment would be to make certain public land available for disposal 
pursuant to the Recreation and Public Purposes Act, as amended (43 
U.S.C. 869 et seq.), for a local government entity in Washington County 
for the purpose of constructing wastewater-treatment lagoons. The city 
of Springdale has requested expansion of existing sewer lagoons which 
service Zion National Park, Springdale, and Rockville. The present 
lagoons no longer meet demand, and it is anticipated that during the 
upcoming spring tourist season, the lagoons will far exceed current 
capacity. A conformance review was conducted; and, while the request 
was found not consistent with the Virgin River MFP, the Bureau of Land 
Management (BLM) believes that it has merit and therefore proposes to 
conduct an environmental assessment to determine environmental 
consequences and impacts on the existing planning decisions and the 
proposed amendment.
    The public land being considered for disposal, comprising 73.25 
acres, is described as follows:

Salt Lake Meridian, Utah

T. 42 South, R. 11 West,
    Section 4, lots 17, 18 and 20;
    Section 5, lots 9 and 10 the SE\1/4\NE\1/4\SW\1/4\NE\1/4\, E\1/
2\SE\1/4\SW\1/4\NE\1/4\, and the NE\1/4\NE\1/4\NW\1/4\SE\1/4\.
Mat Millenbach,
State Director.
