Realty Action; Recreation and Public Purposes (R&PP) Act
Classification; Eagle County, Colorado
Agency: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: In response to an application from Eagle County, Colorado, the
following public lands have been examined and found suitable for
classification for conveyance to Eagle County, Colorado, under the
provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes Act, as amended (43
U.S.C. 869 et seq.). The lands would be used for a highway maintenance
facility.
Sixth Principal Meridian
T. 2S., R. 84W.,
Sec. 9: lot 2.
Containing 2.28 acres, more or less.
The lands are not needed for Federal purposes. Conveyance of the
lands is consistent with current BLM land use planning and would be in
the public interest.
A patent, if issued, will be subject to the following reservations,
terms, and conditions:
1. Provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes Act and to all
applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior.
2. A right-of-way thereon for ditches and canals constructed by
authority of the United States. Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945).
3. All the mineral deposits in the lands so patented, and the right
of the United States, or persons authorized by the United States, to
prospect for, mine, and remove such deposits from the same under
applicable laws and regulations as the Secretary of the Interior may
prescribe.
4. The subject lands are withdrawn for power purposes by Power Site
Classification No. 244, approved August 29, 1919. The United States
reserves the right to itself, its permittees or licensees to enter
upon, occupy and use any part or all of the lands necessary for power
purposes under Part 1 of the Federal Power Act of August 26, 1935, as
amended (16 U.S.C. 818) upon payment of damages to buildings or other
improvements caused by such entry. Any improvements or structures
placed upon the land which shall be found to interfere with such power
development shall be removed or relocated as may be necessary to
eliminate interference with power development at no cost to the United
States, its permittees or licensees.
5. A reservation for those rights for buried telephone line
purposes as have been granted to Eagle Telecommunications, Inc., its
successors and assigns, by right-of-way Colorado 27649 under the Act of
February 15, 1901, as amended (43 U.S.C. 959).
6. A reservation for those rights for road purposes as have been
granted to Eagle County, its successors and assigns, by right-of-way
Colorado 43109 under the Act of October 21, 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1761).
7. Title shall revert to the United States upon a finding, after
notice and opportunity for a hearing, that, without the approval of the
Secretary of the Interior or his delegate, the patentee or its approved
successor attempts to transfer title to or control over the lands to
another, the lands have been devoted to a use other than that for which
the lands were conveyed, or the lands have not been used for the
purpose for which the lands were conveyed for a 5-year period. Provided
further that the Secretary of the Interior may take action to revest
title in the United States if the patentee directly or indirectly
permits its agents, employees, contractors, or subcontractors
(including without limitation lessees, sublessees, and permittees) to
prohibit or restrict the use of any part of the patented lands or any
of the facilities thereon by any person because of such person's race,
creed, color, sex, or national origin.
R&PP CLASSIFICATION COMMENTS: Interested parties may submit comments
involving the suitability of the land for a highway maintenance
facility.
Comments on the classification are restricted to whether the land
is physically suited for a highway maintenance facility, whether the
use will maximize the future use or uses of the land, whether the use
is consistent with local planning and zoning, or if the use is
consistent with State and Federal programs.
R&PP APPLICATION COMMENTS: Interested parties may submit comments
regarding the specific use proposed in the application and plan of
development, whether the BLM followed proper administrative procedures
in reaching the decision, or any other factor not directly related to
the suitability of the land for a highway maintenance facility.
Comments received on the classification will be answered by the
State Director with the right to further comment to the Secretary.
Comments on the application will be answered by the State Director with
the right of appeal to the Interior Board of Land Appeals. Detailed
information concerning this action is available for review at the
office of the Bureau of Land Management, Grand Junction District, 2815
H Road, Grand Junction, Colorado.
Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the lands
will be segregated from all other forms of appropriation under the
public land laws, including the general mining laws, except for
conveyance under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act. The
segregative effect shall terminate upon issuance of a patent, upon
final rejection of the application, or two years from the date of
filling of the applications, whichever occurs first.
