DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

National Park Service

Notice of Realty Action; California

Notice of Realty Action for Minor

Boundary Revision and Proposed

Exchange of Federally-owned land for

Privately-owned land in Marin County,

California.

In order to resolve the minor and

unintentional encroachment of a private

residence on Federal land, it is

necessary for the National Park Service

to effect a minor boundary revision and

land exchange at Point Reyes National

Seashore. The park boundary will be

revised to include a 0.12 acre parcel of

land adjacent to the boundary and

delete a 0.10 acre parcel of land within

the boundary. Upon approval of the

boundary revision, the National Park

Service will acquire the 0.12 acre parcel

and convey the 0.10 acre encroachment

parcel to the private landowner. The

subject properties are located on

Blackberry Lane, Inverness, Marin

County, California.

The authority for the minor boundary

revision is Section 318 (a) of Public Law

95–625, approved November 10, 1978;

16 U.S.C. 459c–1(a). The authority for

the land exchange is Section 3 (a) of

Public Law 87–657, approved

September 13, 1962, 16 USC 459c–2.

The National Park Service has

determined that there will be no adverse

impacts as a consequence of the

exchange. The value of the lands to be

exchanged are of equal value. Each site

was surveyed for the presence of

hazardous substances and none were

found. The mineral rights of both

properties will be conveyed.

The land to be conveyed by the

United States of America and deleted

from the boundary is identified as Tract

No. P13–130. Title to the land will be

conveyed subject to title encumbrances

of record as well as existing easements
