Containing 40.00 acres more or less.
This land is not required for any federal purposes. The sale is
consistent with current Bureau planning for this area and would be in
the public interest.
In the event of a sale, conveyance of the available mineral
interests will occur simultaneously with the sale of the land. The
mineral interests being offered for conveyance have no known mineral
value. Acceptance of a direct sale offer will constitute an application
for conveyance of those mineral interests. The applicant will be
required to pay a $50.00 nonreturnable filing fee for the conveyance of
the available mineral interests.
The patent, when issued, will contain the following reservations to
the United States:
1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches and canals constructed by the
authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945).
2. All the sodium, potassium, oil and gas mineral deposits in the
land subject to this conveyance, including without limitation, the
disposition of these substances under the mineral leasing laws. Its
permittee, licensees and lessees, the right to prospect for, mine and
remove the mineral owned by the United States under applicable law and
such regulations as the Secretary of the Interior may prescribe. This
reservation includes all necessary and incidental activities conducted
in accordance with the provisions of the mineral leasing laws in effect
at the time such activities are undertaken, including, without
limitation, necessary access and exit rights, all drilling,
underground, or surface mining operation, storage and transportation
facilities deemed necessary and authorized under law and implementing
regulations. Unless otherwise provided by separate agreement with
surface owner, permittee, licensees and lessees of the United States
shall reclaim disturbed areas to the extent prescribed by regulations
issued by the Secretary of the Interior. All cause of action brought to
enforce the rights of the surface owner under the regulations above
referred to shall be instituted against permittee, licensees and
lessees of the United States; and the United States shall not be liable
for the acts or omissions of its permittee, licensees and lessees. Upon
publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the above described
land will be segregated from all other forms of appropriation under the
public land laws, including the general mining laws, except leasing
under the mineral leasing laws. This segregation will terminate upon
issuance of a patent or 270 days from the date of this publication,
whichever occurs first.
For a period of 45 days from the date of publication of this notice
in the Federal Register, interested parties may submit comments
regarding this action to the Assistant District Manager, Nonrenewable
Resources at the address listed above. Any adverse comments will be
reviewed by the State Director who may sustain, vacate, or modify this
realty action. In absence of any adverse comments, this realty action
will become the final determination of the Department of the Interior.
The Bureau of Land Management may accept or reject any or all offers,
or withdraw any land or interest in the land from sale, if, in the
opinion of the authorized officer, consummation of the sale would not
be fully consistent with FLPMA, or other applicable laws. The lands
will not be offered for sale until at least 60 days after the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
Dated: March 4, 1998.
