FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Information related to this action, 
including the environmental assessment, is available for review at the 
Bureau of Land Management, Farmington District Office, 1235 LaPlata

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Publication of this notice segregates the 
public land described above from all other forms of appropriation under 
the public land laws, including the general mining laws, except for 
leasing and conveyance under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act and 
leasing under the mineral leasing laws for a period of two (2) years 
from date of this publication in the Federal Register. The segregative 
affect will terminate upon issuance of the patent to San Juan County, 
or two (2) years from the date of this publication, whichever occurs 
first.
    The patent, when issued, will be subject to the following terms:
    1. Reservation to the United States of a right-of-way for ditches 
and canals in accordance with 43 U.S.C. 945.
    2. Reservation to the United States of all minerals.
    3. All valid existing rights, e.g. rights-of-way and leases of 
record.
    4. Provisions that if the patentee or its successor attempts to 
transfer title to or control over the land to another or the land is 
devoted to a use other than for which the land was conveyed, without 
the consent of the Secretary of the Interior or his delegate, or 
prohibits or restricts, directly or indirectly, or permits its agents, 
employees, contractors, or subcontractors, including without 
limitation, lessees, sublessees and permittees, to prohibit or 
restrict, directly or indirectly, the use of any part of the patented 
lands or any of the facilities whereon by any person because of such 
person's race, creed, color, or national origin, title shall revert to 
the United States.
    The lands are not needed for Federal purposes. Patenting is 
consistent with current Bureau of Land Management policies and land use 
planning. The proposal serves the public interest since it would 
provide readily accessible facilities to the surrounding public for 
deposition of solid waste.

    Dated: September 12, 1996.

Acting Assistant District Manager for Lands and Renewable Resources.
