SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The parcel is located south of LeBaron Avenue and west of Lindell Road in southwest Las Vegas and is legally described as:
Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada
T. 22 S., R. 60 E.,
Sec. 25, NE 1⁄4 SE 1⁄4 NW 1⁄4 .
The area described contains 10 acres, according to the official plats of surveys on file with the BLM.
In accordance with the R&PP Act, Clark County Real Property Management has filed an application to develop the above-described land as a public park consisting of premanufactured restrooms with water bottle fillers, eight shade structures, a sport/exercise equipment area, a splash pad, multiage playground areas, tennis/pickle ball/sand volleyball/basketball courts, a trash enclosure, trees, planters, typical desert landscaping, paved walking trails, concrete sidewalks, street and park lighting, a paved parking lot, and utilities for direct support of the proposed park. The parcel is surrounded by private land and a fully developed elementary school, which is a previously approved R&PP project. Additional detailed information pertaining to this publication, the plan of development, and site plan is available in case file N-98610, which is available for review at the BLM Las Vegas Field Office at the above address.
Clark County Real Property Management is a political subdivision of the State of Nevada, and is therefore a qualified applicant under the R&PP Act.
Subject to limitations prescribed by law and regulation, prior to patent issuance, the holder of any right-of-way grant within the lease area may be given the opportunity to amend the right-of-way grant for conversion to a new term, including perpetuity, if applicable.
The land identified is not needed for any Federal purpose. The lease and/or conveyance is consistent with the BLM Las Vegas Resource Management Plan dated October 5, 1998, and would be in the public interest. Clark County Real Property Management has not applied for more than the 640-acre limitation for public purpose uses in a year and has submitted a statement that its application is for a definite project as required by regulations at 43 CFR 2741.4(b).
The lease and conveyance, when issued, will be subject to the provisions of the R&PP Act and applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior, and will contain the following reservations to the United States:
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 minerals shall be reserved to the United States, together with the right to prospect for, mine, and remove such deposits for the same under applicable law and such regulations as the Secretary of the Interior may prescribe; and
3. Any lease and conveyance will also be subject to valid existing rights, will contain any terms or conditions required by law (including, but not limited to, any terms or conditions required by 43 CFR 2741.4), and will contain an appropriate indemnification clause protecting the United States from claims arising out of the lessee's/patentee's use, occupancy, or operations on the leased/patented lands. It will also contain any other terms and conditions deemed necessary and appropriate by the Authorized Officer.
Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register , the land described above will be segregated from all other forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including the general mining laws, except for lease and conveyance under the R&PP Act, leasing under the mineral leasing laws, and disposals under the mineral material disposal laws.
Interested parties may submit written comments on the suitability for classification of the land as a public park project in Clark County. 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, whether the use is consistent with local planning and zoning, or if the use is consistent with state and Federal programs. Interested parties may also submit written comments regarding the specific use proposed in the application, plan of development, and site plan, and whether the BLM followed proper administrative procedures in reaching the decision to lease and convey under the R&PP Act.
Before including your address, phone number, email, address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment-including your personal identifying information-may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. Only written comments submitted to the Assistant Field Manager, BLM Las Vegas Field Office, will be considered properly filed. Any adverse comments will be reviewed as protests, by the BLM Nevada State Director, who may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action.
In the absence of any adverse comments, the decision will become effective on April 11, 2022. The lands will not be available for lease and conveyance until after the decision becomes effective.
Authority: 43 CFR 2741.5.
