amendment;
2. Issues to be resolved through policy
or administrative action; or

amendment.
The BLM will provide an explanation
in the Draft RMP/Draft EA as to why an
issue was placed in category two or
three. The public is also encouraged to
help identify any management questions
and concerns that should be addressed
in the plan. The BLM will work
collaboratively with interested parties to
identify the management decisions that
are best suited to local, regional, and
national needs and concerns.
The BLM will use an interdisciplinary
approach to develop the plan
amendment and EA in order to consider
the variety of resource issues and
concerns identified. Specialists with
expertise in the following disciplines
will be involved in the plan amendment
and development of the associated EA:
Rangeland management, geology, soils,
wildlife and fisheries, archaeology,
outdoor recreation, and realty.

approximately 95.22 acres of public

County proposes to use the land for the
expansion of the Elko County Shooting
Range.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The parcel
of public land proposed for
classification and conveyance is located

The land to be classified as suitable

Mount Diablo Meridian
T. 34 N., R. 54 E., sec. 25, lots 1–4, and 8,
excluding land previously classified August
9, 1985 under serial number N–21861.
The area described contains 95.22 acres.
The parcel is for the expansion of the
Elko County Shooting Range. The
expansion of the shooting range would
include the development of a facility for
youth shooting sports activities, firearm
safety training, and other youth oriented
shooting activities.
In addition to the classification for
conveyance of the above referenced
lands, the BLM intends to convey lands
that were previously leased pursuant to
the R&PP for the Elko County shooting
range and that is adjacent to the
proposed expansion area. The purpose
of this notice is to reclassify those
parcels as suitable for reconveyance.
The acres leased for the existing
shooting range were classified for lease
on August 9, 1985, under serial number
N–21861. The lands that are now
proposed for conveyance, including
land previously classified August 9,
1985 under serial number N–21861, are
legally described as:

Mount Diablo Meridian
T. 34 N., R. 54 E., sec. 25, lots 1–4, 7 and
8.
The total area ultimately to be conveyed
contains 255.33 acres.
The BLM conducted an
Environmental Site Assessment/Land
Transfer Audit (ESA/LTA) in September
2012 for all lands proposed for
conveyance. The ESA/LTA concluded
that lead, a hazardous material, is
present in the shooting target areas and
backdrop berms of the existing shorting
range parcel. In general, the site is kept
clean and no other issues were noted.
The ESA/LTA found that the closest
surface water is 1,320 feet away and
ground water is expected to be 120 feet
deep. There is no threat of water
contamination. The alkaline soil retards
the dissolution of lead, so mobilization
of lead should not be an issue. Based on
the existing data the transfer of the
subject parcel to Elko County for the
purpose of a rifle and shooting range
does not present a significant risk to
human health and the environment at
this time. The land is not needed for any
Federal purpose. The classification and
disposals contemplated above are
consistent with the Record of Decision
and Approved Elko Resource
Management Plan dated March 11,
1987.
The BLM also prepared an
environmental assessment analyzing
Elko County’s application for the
conveyance of 255.33 acres and the
proposed development and management

existing shooting range facility in
accordance with the original
management plan that was approved on
September 26, 1985, as part of the N–
21861 R&PP lease.
All minerals in these parcels are
privately owned. A conveyance would
be subject to the provisions of the R&PP
Act, applicable regulations prescribed
by the Secretary of the Interior, and the
following reservation to the United
States:
1. A reservation to the United States
for ditches and canals constructed by
the authority of the United States
pursuant to the Act of August 30, 1890
(43 U.S.C. 945).
A conveyance would also be subject
to the following terms and conditions:
1. All valid existing rights;
2. Right-of-way N–46266 for a buried
fiber optic cable issued to AT&T Lease
Administration, its successors or
assigns, pursuant to the Act of October
21, 1976 (90 Stat. 2776, 43 U.S.C. 1761);
3. A limited reversionary provision
that the title shall revert to the United
States upon a finding, after notice and
opportunity for a hearing that the
patentee has not substantially
developed the land in accordance with
the approved plan of development 5
years after the date of patent. No portion
of the land shall under any
circumstances revert to the United
States if any such portion had been used
for solid waste disposal or for any other
purpose that may result in disposal,
placement, or release of any hazardous
substances.
4. An indemnification clause
protecting the United States from claims
arising out of the lessee’s use,
occupancy, or operations on the leased
lands;
5. Pursuant to the requirements
established by Section 120(h) of the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability
Act (42 U.S.C. 9620(h)), as amended,
notice is hereby given that the described
lands have been examined and
concluded that lead, a hazardous
material, is present in the shooting
target areas and backdrop berms on the
existing shooting range parcel. In
general, the site is kept clean and no
other issues were noted. The ESA/LTA
found that the closest surface water is
