Order Dated January 3, 1929, and Public Land Order No. 3512; Nevada
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION: Public land order.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This order partially revokes a public land order and a
Secretarial order insofar as they affect 247.16 acres of public lands
withdrawn for use by the Bureau of Reclamation for the Colorado River
Storage Project and the Robert B. Griffith Water Project. The lands are
no longer needed for the purposes for which they were withdrawn and the
revocation is needed to permit disposal of the lands through exchange.
This action will open the lands to surface entry and mining subject to
valid existing rights, the provisions of existing withdrawals, other
segregations of record, and the requirements of applicable law.
EFFECTIVE DATE: March 10, 1997.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dennis J. Samuelson, BLM Nevada State
Office, P.O. Box 12000, Reno, Nevada 89520, 702-785-6532.
By virtue of the authority vested in the Secretary of the Interior
by Section 204 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976,
43 U.S.C. 1714 (1988), it is ordered as follows:
1. The Secretarial Order dated January 3, 1929, and Public Land
Order No. 3512, which withdrew public lands for the Bureau of
Reclamation's Colorado River Storage Project and the Robert B. Griffith
Project, respectively, are hereby revoked insofar as they affect the
following described lands:
Mount Diablo Meridian
T. 23 S., R. 63 E.,
Sec. 2, lots 13, 23, 27, and S\1/2\SW;
Sec. 11, lots 2, 9, 10, 11, and 14;

2. At 9 a.m. on March 10, 1997, the lands will be opened to the
operation of the public land laws generally, subject to valid existing
rights, the provisions of existing withdrawals, other segregations of
record, and the requirements of applicable law. All valid applications
received at or prior to 9 a.m. on March 10, 1997, shall be considered
as simultaneously filed at that time. Those received thereafter shall
be considered in the order of filing.
3. At 9 a.m. on March 10, 1997, the lands will be opened to
location and entry under the United States mining laws, subject to
valid existing rights, the provisions of existing withdrawals, other
segregations of record, and the requirements of applicable law.
Appropriation of any of the lands described in this order under the
general mining laws prior to the date and time of restoration is
unauthorized. Any such attempted appropriation, including attempted
adverse possession under 30 U.S.C. 38 (1988), shall vest no rights
against the United States. Acts required to establish a location and to
initiate a right of possession are governed by State law where not in
conflict with Federal law. The Bureau of Land Management will not
intervene in disputes between rival locators over possessory rights
since Congress has provided for such determinations in local courts.
Dated: January 23, 1997.
Bob Armstrong,
Assistant Secretary of the Interior.
