DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
[UT-040-05-1430-01]
Notice
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of Intent.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice is to advise the public that the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) is proposing to do a plan amendment for the Virgin
River Management Framework Plan (MFP) located in Washington County,
Utah.
DATES: The comment period for this proposed plan amendment will
commence with publication of this notice. Comments must be submitted on
or before January 13, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dale Ross, Realty Specialist, Dixie
Resource Area Office, 225 North Bluff Street, St. George, UT 84770.
Existing planning documents and information are available at the above
address or telephone (801) 673-4654. Comments on the proposed plan
amendment should be sent to the above address.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM is proposing to amend the Virgin
River MFP which includes lands in Washington County, Utah. The proposed
amendment would be to make certain public land available for lease/sale
pursuant to the Recreation and Public Purposes Act, as amended (43
U.S.C. 869 et seq.), to Washington County, a local government entity,
for the purpose of constructing a fairgrounds with race track and
associated facilities. It is the intent of Washington County to
relocate the present facilities located in the Dixie Downs area on land
formerly owned by Washington County because of land acquisition by the
State of Utah.
The public land being considered for disposal, comprising 420.27
acres, is described as follows:
Salt Lake Meridian, Utah,
T. 42 S., R. 14 W.,
Sec. 3, lots 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 18, 20, 22, 24 and
26.
The areas described aggregate 420.27 acres.
A consistency review was conducted and while the request was found
not consistent with current planning guidance, the Bureau of Land
Management believes that it has merit and therefore proposes to conduct
an environmental assessment to determine environmental consequences and
impacts on the existing planning decisions and proposed amendments.
Mat Millenbach,
State Director.
