Realty Action: Section 302 Lease; Classification in Grand County, 
Colorado

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Department of the Interior.

ACTION: The proposed leasing of public land for a Non-Competitive Lease 
in Grand County.

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

SUMMARY: In response to a request from the Silver Creek Holdings, 
Colorado, the following public lands have been examined and found 
suitable for leasing under the provisions of Section 302, of the 
Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) of 1976 and 43 CFR 2920. 
Other lands in the vicinity are currently leased to Silver Creek Ski 
Area for ski trails and associated facilities.

Affected Public Land

Sixth Principal Meridian, Colorado

T. 1N., R. 76W.,
    Sec. 9, Lots 3, 6 (W\1/2\), 7 (E\1/2\), 8 and 9 approximately 
135.73 acres.

    The affected public lands would be used for the development of an 
18-hole championship golf course. This would enable Silver Creek 
Holdings to achieve the primary goal of their Master Plan Vision, 
prepared in 1997/1998, to develop amenities which will provide year-
round use of the Silver Creek community. These lands were selected to 
reduce the impact on wetlands and wildlife habitat in the original 
proposal by Silver Creek. Appropriate federal and local permits and 
approvals have been acquired or are in the review stage. The lease of 
these lands will serve important public and private objectives which 
cannot be achieved on lands other than public lands administered by the 
Bureau of Land Management. The Bureau of Land Management would amend 
the existing 30 year lease to Silver Creek.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Other information concerning this 
proposed lease is available for review by contacting Madeline Dzielak 
at the Kremmling Resource Area Office at 1116 Park Avenue, PO Box 68, 
Kremmling, Colorado, 80459, (970) 724-3437.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Publication of this notice in the Federal 
Register segregates the public land from the operation of the public 
land laws, including the mining laws, except for conveyance under 
Section 302 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act sale and 
exchange, for a period of two years from the date of publication of 
this notice. The segregative effect shall terminate upon issuance of a 
lease, upon rejection of the application, or two years from the date of 
publication of this notice.
    For a period of 45 days from the date of publication of this notice 
interested parties may submit comments to the District Manager, Grand 
Junction District Office, Bureau of Land Management, 2815 H Road, Grand 
Junction, CO 81506. Any adverse comments will be evaluated by the State

final determination of the Department of the Interior.
