The land is not required for Federal purposes. Lease or conveyance
is consistent with current BLM land use planning and would be in the

use the land for open space and recreation. The land will be conveyed
without monetary consideration to the City of Florence, Oregon, to be
managed for this purpose. The application of the Citizens for Florence
will be denied.
The patent, when issued, will be subject to valid existing rights,
the provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes Act and all
applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior and will
contain the following reservations to the United States:
1. A right-of-way for ditches and canals constructed by the
authority of the United States, Act of August 20, 1890 (26 Stat. 391,
43 U.S.C. 945).
2. All minerals, together with the right to prospect for, mine and
remove such deposits under applicable law and such regulations as the
Secretary of the Interior may prescribe.
The above described land is segregated by Public Land Order 6963
from all forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including
the general mining laws, except for leasing under the mineral leasing
laws. The Public Land Order will be modified to open it to conveyance
under the
