SUMMARY: The following public lands in Kern County, California have

the County of Kern under the provisions of the Recreation and Public

The County of Kern has filed applications to purchase a 120-acre
parcel of public land occupied by an existing landfill and where buffer
areas and a transfer station will be constructed. The landfill will be
closing in 1997 concurrently with construction of the transfer station
and the buffer areas. The transfer station will handle non-hazardous
solid waste from residential, commercial and industrial sources.
The lands are not needed for Federal purposes. Conveyance is
consistent with current BLM land use planning and would be in the
public interest.
The patent 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; Act of August 30, 1890 (26 Stat. 391;
43 U.S.C. 945).
3. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States, together
with the right to prospect for, mine, and remove the minerals.
4. All valid existing rights documented on the official public land
records at the time of patent issuance.
5. Any other reservations that the authorized officer determines
appropriate to ensure pubic access and proper management of Federal
lands and interests therein.
Detailed information concerning this action is available for review
at the office of the Bureau of Land Management, Bakersfield Field
Office, 3801 Pegasus Drive, Bakersfield, California.
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 general mining laws, except for
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, until July 26, 1997, interested persons
may submit comments regarding the proposed conveyance or classification
of the lands to the Field Office Manager, Bakersfield Field Office,
3801 Pegasus Drive, Bakersfield, CA 93308.
Classification Comments
Interested parties may submit comments involving the suitability of
the land for a transfer station, landfill and buffer area. 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 transfer station, landfill and buffer area.
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.
Dated: April 22, 1997.
