Notice of Realty Action; Recreation and Public Purposes (R&PP)
Act Classification for Conveyance
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
SUMMARY: The following lands, located in eastern San Diego County,
California, have been examined and found suitable for conveyance to the
County of San Diego under the provisions of the Recreation and Public
Purposes Act of June 14, 1926, as amended (43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.):
San Bernardino Meridian
T. 13 S., R. 4 E.,
Sec. 9, E\1/2\NE\1/4\
(80 acres, more or less).
These 80 acres were classified as suitable for lease in 1968, and
R&PP lease CARI-0654 was issued to San Diego County's Department of
General Services for a sanitary landfill later modified for a solid
waste transfer station in Julian, California. The County proposes to
continue using the lands for a solid waste transfer station. The lands
are not needed for Federal purposes, and conveyance without
reversionary interest is consistent with current BLM land use planning.
Before conveyance can occur, a landfill transfer audit and
environmental assessment must be conducted by a qualified agent in
compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and any
other Federal and State laws applicable to the disposal of solid waste
and hazardous substances. The patent will be subject to the following
terms, conditions, and reservations:

applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior.

by right-of-way grant CACA-21611.

to San Diego Gas & Electric by right-of-way grant CACA-27735.
5. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States together
with the right to prospect for, mine and remove same under applicable
law and regulations as prescribed by the Secretary of the Interior. In
accordance with BLM Manual Section 3060.23, a mineral potential and
surface interference determination shall be completed.
6. The patentee shall comply with all Federal and State laws
applicable to the disposal, placement, or release of hazardous
substances.
7. The patentee shall indemnify and hold harmless the United States
against any legal liability or future costs that may arise out of any
violation of such laws.
8. No portion of the land covered by such patent shall under any
circumstance revert to the United States.

Director, who may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action. In the
