Title to the non-Federal lands was accepted on February 8, 1995.
The value of the Federal lands exceeded the value of the non-Federal
lands by $13,476.00 (.41% of the value of the selected lands). An
equalization payment in that amount was made to the United States by
the exchange proponent.
The purpose of the exchange was to acquire non-Federal lands with
high value for recreation, and wildlife and riparian habitat. The 30.29
acres of non-Federal lands previously described in T. 21 S., R. 59 E.,
MDM, lie within the Red Rock National Conservation Area (RRNCA). In
accordance with Public Law 101-621, dated November 16, 1990, RRNCA
lands are withdrawn from all forms of entry, appropriation, or disposal
under the public land laws, from location, entry and patent under the
mining laws, and from operation under the mineral leasing and
geothermal leasing laws, and all amendments thereto.
At 10 a.m. on May 17, 1995, the remaining lands acquired by the
United States will be open 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 prior to 10 a.m. on May
17, 1995, will be considered as simultaneously filed at that time.
Those received thereafter shall be considered in the order of filing.
At 10 a.m. on May 17, 1995, the remaining lands acquired by the
United States will be open to location under the mining laws.
Appropriation of the land 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, 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.
At 10 a.m. on May 17, 1995, the remaining lands acquired by the
United States will also be open to applications/offers under the
mineral leasing laws, the material sale laws, and the Geothermal Steam
Act.
