Vehicular Road Closure to Motorized Public Access on Selected 
Public Lands in Mohave County, AZ

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of closure.

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

SUMMARY: Closure of approximately 0.50 miles of access road, south of 
the main road, that historically accessed the now closed Mohave County 
refuse transfer station South of Truxton in T 24N R 12W sec 11, Gila 
and Salt River Baseline and Meridian within the Kingman Field Office 
Mohave County, Arizona. This action is intended to prevent motorized 
access to an area known for the frequent dumping of household and 
industrial waste, and to prevent further erosion and environmental 
damage to the adjacent wash.

DATES: Road Closure is effective immediately and extends until June 21, 
2004.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In June, 2002, the Bureau of Land Management 
spent in excess of $30,000 removing hazardous materials and related 
debris from a trash dump at the end of this access road. Furthermore, 
this action is taken to prevent further degradation of environmental 
resources due to the illegal dumping of household waste, industrial 
waste, and hazardous materials. Exceptions to this closure include 
motorized vehicle use for administrative and emergency purposes and for 
authorized permittees. The authorized officer may issue a written 
authorization allowing motorized access for specific purposes. This 
closure is in accordance with provisions of the Federal Land Policy and 
Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701) and 43 CFR 8364.1. The 
authority for this restriction is provided in 43 CFR 8364.1(a). Persons 
who violate this restriction are subject to arrest and, upon 
conviction, may be fined up to $100,000.00 and/or imprisoned for not 
more than 12 months as amended by 18 U.S.C. 3571 and 18 U.S.C. 3581.
