Notice of Realty Action; Recreation and Public Purposes (R&PP) 
Act Classification for Conveyance

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

SUMMARY: The following lands, located in eastern San Diego County, 
California, have been examined and found suitable for conveyance to the 
County of San Diego under the provisions of the Recreation and Public 
Purposes Act of June 14, 1926, as amended (43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.):

San Bernardino Meridian

T. 13 S., R. 4 E.,
    Sec. 9, E\1/2\NE\1/4\

(80 acres, more or less).

    These 80 acres were classified as suitable for lease in 1968, and 
R&PP lease CARI-0654 was issued to San Diego County's Department of 
General Services for a sanitary landfill later modified for a solid 
waste transfer station in Julian, California. The County proposes to 
continue using the lands for a solid waste transfer station. The lands 
are not needed for Federal purposes, and conveyance without 
reversionary interest is consistent with current BLM land use planning. 
Before conveyance can occur, a landfill transfer audit and 
environmental assessment must be conducted by a qualified agent in 
compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and any 
other Federal and State laws applicable to the disposal of solid waste 
and hazardous substances. The patent will be subject to the following 
terms, conditions, and reservations:
    1. Provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes Act and all 
applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior.
    2. A right-of-way for ditches and canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States.
    3. Those rights for telephone line purposes granted to Pacific Bell 
by right-of-way grant CACA-21611.
    4. Those rights for electrical distribution line purposes granted 
to San Diego Gas & Electric by right-of-way grant CACA-27735.
    5. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States together 
with the right to prospect for, mine and remove same under applicable 
law and regulations as prescribed by the Secretary of the Interior. In 
accordance with BLM Manual Section 3060.23, a mineral potential and 
surface interference determination shall be completed.
    6. The patentee shall comply with all Federal and State laws 
applicable to the disposal, placement, or release of hazardous 
substances.
    7. The patentee shall indemnify and hold harmless the United States 
against any legal liability or future costs that may arise out of any 
violation of such laws.
    8. No portion of the land covered by such patent shall under any 
circumstance revert to the United States.

DATES: On or before November 3, 1997, interested parties may submit 
comments regarding the suitability determination to the Area Manager, 
Bureau of Land Management, El Centro Resource Area, 1661 South 4th 
Street, El Centro, CA 92243. Objections will be reviewed by the State 
Director, who may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action. In the

subject to appropriation under the public land laws, including 
locations under the mining laws, except for conveyance under the 
Recreation and Public Purposes Act and leasing under the mineral 
leasing laws.
