States upon a finding, and after notice and opportunity for a hearing, 
that the patentee has not substantially developed the lands in 
accordance with the approved plan of development on or before the date 
five years after the date of conveyance. No portion of the land shall 
under any circumstance revert to the United States if any such portion 
has been used for solid waste disposal or for any other purpose which 
may result in the disposal, placement, or release of any hazardous 
substance.
    5. If, at any time, the patentee validly transfers to another party 
ownership of any portion of the land not used for the purpose(s) 
specified in the application and the plan of development, the patentee 
shall pay the Bureau of Land Management the fair market value, as 
determined by the authorized officer, of the transferred portion as of 
the date of transfer, including the value of any improvements thereon.
    6. All valid existing rights including but not limited to those 
documented on the official public land records at the time of lease/
patent issuance. Detailed information concerning the proposed actions,

    On August 23, 2006 the above described lands will be segregated 
from all other forms of appropriation under the public land laws,

classification(s) are restricted to whether the land is physically 
suited for the proposal(s), whether the use will maximize the future 
use or uses of the land, whether the use is consistent with local 
planning and zoning, and if the use is consistent with State and 
Federal programs.
    Application Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
regarding the specific use proposed in the application(s) and plan(s)

public golf course, and expanded County road maintenance facilities.
