construction, materials, and landscaping plans to assure that the
facilities blend with the existing landscape character of the adjoining
lands. The BLM will also review and approve the design plans for other
facilities such as cattle guards and fences to assure that they meet
BLM specifications.
7. Sixty days prior to an abandonment of the City of Rocks
Administrative Site, the lessee shall contact the authorized officer to
