summary: Pursuant to the BLM Planning Regulations (43 CFR 1610.5-2),
notice is hereby given that the BLM is proposing to amend the Cascade
RMP to allow for transfer of certain public lands to Gem and Canyon
Counties via sale and transfer of certain public lands in Ada County to
a private party via exchange.
The following described lands have been examined and through the
public supported land use planning process have been determined to be
suitable for disposal by direct sale pursuant to Section 203 of the
Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1713)
at no less than the appraised fair market value. 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.
1. IDI-28798--Sale to Gem County:
Boise Meridian, Idaho
T. 6 N., R. 1 W.,
Section 27; W\1/2\SW\1/4\,
Section 28; E\1/2\SE\1/4\.
Containing 160 acres more or less.
2. IDI-29240, Sale to Canyon County:

2\SE\1/4\SW\1/4\.
Containing 80 acres more or less.
The following described lands have been examined and through the
public supported land use planning process have been determined to be
suitable for transfer by land exchange pursuant to section 206 of the
Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) of 1976 (43 U.S.C.
1713).
3. IDI-29143, Private Exchange to W. P. Stillwell Sr. Estate:
Non-Federal lands to be acquired are described as:
Boise Meridian, Idaho
T. 5 N., R. 1 E., B.M., Idaho
Section 14; S\1/2\NW\1/4\, NW\1/4\SW\1/4\,
Section 23; S\1/2\S\1/2\.

Public lands to be transferred are described as:
Boise Meridian, Idaho
T. 5 N., R. 1 E., B.M., Idaho
Section 20; Lot 1, E\1/2\SE\1/4\,
Section 21; NW\1/4\NW\1/4\, S\1/2\NW\1/4\, NW\1/4\SW\1/4\, S\1/
2\SE\1/4\.
Containing 357.81 acres more or less.
Administrative access across Stillwell's private lands would also
be acquired.
The purpose of the land sales is to provide Gem County with a new
sanitary landfill site and Canyon County with lands necessary to meet
new standards for their existing landfill.
The purpose of the exchange is to acquire the non-Federal lands
which contain important populations of Allium aaseae (Aase's onion), a
C1 Candidate species to prevent possible listing of the species under
the Endangered Species Act. The subject lands were previously
identified for acquisition in the plan amendment designating ACECs for
protection of Aase's onion and determining the management prescriptions
under which the lands are to be managed. The subject lands will be
added to the designated ACEC and will be managed with the same
restrictions as the other public lands within the ACEC to protect the
critical habitat.
The value of the lands to be exchanged will be approximately equal;
some of the above-described public lands may not be included and some
of the private lands may not be acquired in order to equalize values
and protect resource values.
