-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice terminates a Recreation and Public Purposes
Classification and provides for opening the affected lands to
appropriation under the public land laws and the general mining laws.
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 2, 1998.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ken Detweiler, Realty Specialist,
Bureau of Land Management, Winnemucca Field Office, 5100 E. Winnemucca

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A proposed sanitary landfill site was
classified for lease by Initial Classification Decision dated February
22, 1977. The land was classified for lease under the Act of June 14,
1926 (44 Stat. 741), as amended by the Act of June 4, 1954 (68 Stat.
173, 43 U.S.C. 869, Sections 1-4), 43 CFR 2740 and 2912.
The subject lands were leased for a term of 20 years, on December
19, 1977, to the Board of Washoe County Commissioners for a sanitary
landfill. The landfill was closed due to Environmental Protection
Agency regulations and a transfer station was opened at an alternate
site. The landfill was closed prior to the lease expiration date and
the lease was allowed to expire within its term.
Pursuant to Section 7 of the Taylor Grazing Act (48 Stat. 1272),
the aforementioned Recreation and Public Purposes classification is
hereby terminated as it affects the following described land:
Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada
T. 32 N., R. 23 E.,
Sec. 17; NE\1/4\SE\1/4\SW\1/4\, NW\1/4\SE\1/4\, N\1/2\SW\1/
4\SE\1/4\.
The area described contains 70 acres.
At 9:00 a.m. on July 2, 1998 the above described 70 acres will
become open to the operation of the public land laws, subject to valid
existing rights, the provisions of existing withdrawals, other
segregations of record, and the requirements of applicable laws, rules,
and regulations.
At 9:00 a.m. on July 2, 1998 the 70 acres will become open to
location under the United States 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.
Dated: May 15, 1998.
Ron Wenker,
District Manager, Winnemucca.
