DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Notice of Intent To Adjust the Boundary of the South Slough
National Estuarine Research Reserve
AGENCY: Sanctuaries and Reserves Division (SRD), Office of Ocean and
Coastal Resource Management (OCRM), National Ocean Service (NOS),
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Department of
Commerce (DOC).
ACTION: Public notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Division of State Lands, of
the State of Oregon, intends to make minor adjustments to the boundary
of the South Slough National Estuarine Research (SSNERR) in Coos Bay,
Oregon. The need for the boundary adjustments stems from the July, 1991
discovery that a landowner adjacent to the SSNERR had encroached on
approximately three and one half acres owned by the Reserve. The
landowner has agreed to transfer to SSNERR property adjacent to the
Reserve. In exchange, the SSNERR will grant to the landowner the
encroached-upon land. In addition, The Division of State Lands is also
granting tidelands to the SSNERR to ensure that there is no net loss of
property within the SSNERR, either in terms of market or ecological
value of lands. These actions were designed to resolve the encroachment
issue in a manner that will protect the natural integrity of the
Reserve, while enabling the landowner to retain access to, and use of,
the roads, structures, and utilities he developed on Reserve property.
The delineation of the property that will be removed from the
boundary of the SSNERR and granted to the encroaching land owner is
identified as follows:
Beginning at a \3/4\'' iron pipe which marks the center \1/4\
corner of Section 13, Township 26 South, Range 14 West of the
Willamette Meridian, Coos County, Oregon:
