SUMMARY: The following described

public lands in Nye County, Nevada,

have been examined and found suitable

for conveyance to Nye County for

recreational or public purposes under

the provisions of the Recreation and

Public Purposes Act, as amended (43

U.S.C. 869 et seq.). Nye County

proposes to use the lands for a solid

Consisting of 243.9 acres.

The lands are not required for any

Should Nye County be denied a permit,

of these lands. The patent or patents,

when issued, will be subject to the

following terms, conditions, and

reservations:

1. Provisions of the Recreation and

Public Purposes Act and to all

applicable regulations of the Secretary

of the Interior. The patentee shall

comply with all Federal and State laws

applicable to the disposal, placement or

release of hazardous substances as

defined in 40 CFR part 302, and

indemnify the United States against any

legal liability or future cost that may

arise out of any violation of such laws.

2. A right-of-way thereon for ditches

or canals constructed by the authority of

the United States under the Act of

August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945).

3. All minerals shall be reserved to

the United States, together with the

right to prospect for, mine, and remove

the minerals.

4. All valid and existing rights

documented on the official public land

records at the time of patent issuance.

5. Any other reservations that the

authorized officer determines

appropriate to ensure public access and

proper management of Federal lands

and interest therein.

(RCRA), as amended, 42 U.S.C. 6901–

6987 and the Comprehensive

and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as

amended, 42 U.S.C. 9601, and all

applicable regulations.
