through Friday, except during Federal holidays, at the BLM Humboldt
River Field Office at the address above or online at <a href="https://eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/project/2011153/570">https://eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/project/2011153/570</a>.
Individuals in the United States who are deaf, deafblind, hard of
hearing, or have a speech disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or

outside the United States should use the relay services offered within
their country to make international calls to the point-of-contact in
the United States.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The decision to issue the lease and
subsequently patent the parcel will be processed consistent with BLM
regulations at 43 CFR 2741.
The parcel, which was identified as suitable for disposal in the
Winnemucca District Resource Management Plan (RMP), is located
southwest of Winnemucca in Humboldt County, Nevada on lands described
below:
Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada
T. 43 N., R. 31 E.,
Sec. 10, N\1/2\NW\1/4\NW\1/4\NW\1/4\.
The area described contains 5 acres.
The parcel has been identified as a key location for a rural fire
station that would serve the outlying residences and rural communities
of Humboldt County. A rural fire station would allow the volunteer fire
fighters to provide a quicker response to wildland and residential
fires in the area. The fire station would be used to store and protect
the County's fire suppression equipment, while also keeping the
equipment serviceable and ready in the event of a wildland fire. The
R&PP project would also include storage for Humboldt County Road
maintenance equipment. The County would lease the parcel for
construction of the site and would request patent once construction is
completed in accordance with the Plan of Development (POD). A
reversionary clause would be included in the patent, which would
require the land to return to the U.S. if the parcel is used in any way
that is inconsistent with an approved POD.
Prior to patenting the land, an Environmental Site Assessment (ESA)
will be conducted to determine the level of hazardous materials, if
any, present on the property. Upon review of the ESA, if the Authorized
Officer determines that any kind of hazardous substances exists on the
parcel that makes the parcel unsuitable for return to public domain,
the patent will not include a reversionary clause, and the parcel would
not return to the U.S.
Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the lands
will be segregated from appropriation under any other public land law,
including locations under mining laws, except for conveyance under the
R&PP Act. The segregated effect shall terminate upon issuance of a
patent or termination of the application.
The patent, if issued, will be subject to the following terms,
conditions, and reservations:
1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches or canals constructed by the
authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945).
2. All mineral deposits in the land so patented, and the right to
prospect for, mine, and remove such deposits from the same under
applicable law and regulations as established by the Secretary of the
Interior are reserved to the United States, together with all necessary
access and exit rights.
3. An appropriate indemnification clause protecting the United
States from claims arising out of the patentee's use, occupancy, or
occupation on the leased/patented lands.
4. Any other terms or conditions, or reservations that the
authorized officer determines appropriate to ensure public access and
proper management of Federal lands and interests therein.
[[Page 25527]]
5. A right-of-way to Humboldt County for an access road N-17397,
Big Creek Road.
6. A right-of-way to Oregon-Idaho Utilities for a buried fiber
optic line, N-60463.
7. Any other valid existing rights.
Classification Comments: Interested persons may submit comments
involving the suitability of the land for development and use as a fire
station and storage of road maintenance equipment. Comments on the
classification are restricted to whether the land is physically suited
for the proposal, whether the use will maximize the future use or uses
of the land, where the use is consistent with local planning and
zoning, or if the use is consistent with state and Federal programs.
Application Comments: Interested persons may submit comments
regarding the specific use proposed in the application and POD, whether
the BLM followed proper administrative procedures in reaching the
decision, or any other factor not directly related to the suitability
of the lands for use as a fire station and storage of road maintenance
equipment.
A copy of this notice will also be published in the newspaper of
local circulation once a week for three consecutive weeks. Any adverse
comments will be reviewed by the BLM Nevada State Director or other
authorized official of the Department of the Interior, who may sustain,
vacate, or modify this realty action.
Before including your address, phone number, email address, or
other personal identifying information in any comment, be aware that
your entire comment, including your personal identifying information,
may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask in your
comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public
review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
