The area described aggregates 319.95 acres, more or less.
A portion of the lands described, 150 acres, was previously
classified as suitable for lease in 1983, and R&PP lease COC-35052 was
issued to Gunnison County for a sanitary landfill. The County proposes
to continue using the lands for a sanitary landfill. The lands are not
needed for Federal purposes. Conveyance without reversionary interest
is consistent with current BLM land use planning and would be in the
public interest.
The patent, when issued, will be subject to the following terms,
conditions and reservations:
1. Provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes Act and to all
applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior.
2. A right-of-way for ditches and canals constructed by the
authority of the United States.
3. The patentee shall comply with all Federal and State laws
applicable to the disposal, placement or release of hazardous
substances.
4. The patentee shall indemnify and hold harmless the United States
against any legal liability or future costs that may arise out of any
violation of such laws.
5. A provision stating that the landfill may contain small amounts
of hazardous waste in the form of household or commercial materials.
6. No portion of the land covered by such patent shall under any
circumstance revert to the United States.
Detailed information concerning this action is available for review
at the office of the Bureau of Land Management, Gunnison Field Office,
216 N. Colorado St., Gunnison, Colorado.
Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the lands
will be segregated from all other forms of appropriation under the
public land laws, including the mining laws, except
[[Page 53407]]
for lease or conveyance under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act
and leasing under the mineral leasing laws. For a period of 45 days
from the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register,
interested persons may submit comments regarding the proposed
conveyance or classification of the lands to the Field Manager, Bureau
of Land Management, Gunnison Field Office, 216 N. Colorado St.,
Gunnison, CO 81230.
CLASSIFICATION COMMENTS: Interested parties may submit comments
involving the suitability of the land for a sanitary landfill. Comments
on the classification are restricted to whether the land is physically
suited for the proposal, whether the use will maximize the future use
or uses of the land, whether the use is consistent with local planning
and zoning, or 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 and plan of
development, whether the BLM followed proper administrative procedures
in reaching the decision, or any other factor not directly related to
the suitability of the land for a sanitary landfill.
Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the State Director. In the
absence of any adverse comments, the classification will become
effective 60 days from the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register.
Signed September 24, 1999.

Field Manager.
