Management Plan

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare a plan amendment and invitation for 
public participation.

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

SUMMARY: The following described public land in Washoe County, Nevada 
will be examined for possible transfer to Washoe County under the 
authority of the Recreation and Public Purposes Act of 1926, as amended 
(43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.) for uses related to bomb disposal and training 
facilities:

Mount Diablo Meridian

T. 23 N., R. 21 E.,
    Sec. 8, SW\1/4\SW\1/4\,
    Sec. 17, W\1/2\NW\1/4\

    This public land is within an area currently identified in the 
Lahontan Resource Management Plan (RMP) for retention in federal 
ownership for multiple uses. The Bureau of Land Management will 
consider amending the RMP to change the land designation of up to 120 
acres, from retention status to transfer status.

DATES AND ADDRESSES: By no later than August 21, 1995, interested 
persons may submit comments regarding the proposed plan amendment to 
the District Manager, Carson City District Office, 1535 Hot Springs 
Road, Suite 300, Carson City, Nevada 89706.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The public land is located approximately 20 
miles north of the Reno/Sparks, Nevada area, just west of State Highway 
445 (Pyramid Highway). The following resources would be considered in 
preparation of the amendment: lands, recreation, wildlife, range, 
minerals, cultural resources, watershed, soils, threatened and 
endangered species, and hazardous materials. Staff members representing 
each resource will be consulted during preparation of the environmental 
document. The public is invited to participate in the identification of 
issues related to the proposed transfer of the subject land to Washoe 
County for development and operation of a bomb disposal and training 
facility. Anticipated issues include:
    (1) Transfer of public land out of Federal ownership
    (2) Change in character and use of land from undeveloped open space 
utilized mainly for dispersed recreation activities and livestock 
grazing to a restricted-access county facility
    (3) Potential impacts to recreationist and livestock grazing
    (4) Potential impacts to adjacent landowners
    (5) Proximity to Incandescent Rocks Area of Critical Environmental 
Concern Planning documents and other pertinent materials may be 
examined at the Carson City District Office between 7:30 a.m. and 5 
p.m. Monday through Friday.

    Dated this 7th day of July, 1995.
John O. Singlaub,
District Manager.
