This land is identified in the Yuma District Resource Management Plan,

the land for recreational or public purposes would be in the public 
interest.
    Lease or conveyance of the land will be subject to the following 
terms, conditions, and reservations:
    1. Provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes Act and all 
applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior.
    2. Rights-of-way for ditches and canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States.
    3. All valid existing rights documented on the official public land 
records at the time of lease/patent issuance.
    4. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States, together 
with the right to prospect for, mine, and remove the minerals.
    5. Any other reservations that the authorized officer determines 
appropriate to ensure public access and proper management of Federal 
lands and interests therein.
    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the land 
will be segregated from all forms of appropriation under the public 
land laws, including the general mining laws, except for lease or 
conveyance under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act and leasing 
under the mineral leasing laws.

the filing of an application under the Recreation and Public Purposes 
Act by any interested, qualified applicant. If, after 18 months
