Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 18, 2024 / Notices 76503 

The area described contains 162.12 

acres, more or less. 

The total area described contains 

541.5 acres, more or less. 

In accordance with the RPPA, the City 

of Redmond has filed an application to 

purchase the above-described lands to 

expand its wastewater treatment facility. 

The current facility is operating over 

capacity, and it is necessary for the City 

to acquire these public lands to expand 

its facilities to ensure that anticipated 

future population growth can be 

accommodated. 

If these public lands are conveyed to 

the City of Redmond under the RPPA, 

the United States will retain a limited 

reversionary interest dictating that the 

conveyed lands would revert back to the 

United States unless substantially used 

in accordance with an approved plan 

and schedule of development on or 

before five years after the conveyance. 

Under no circumstances will any 

portion of these lands be reconveyed 

back to the United States that have been 

used for solid waste disposal or for any 

other purpose that the authorized officer 

determines may have resulted in the 

disposal, placement, or release of any 

hazardous substances. Prior to 

conveyance of the lands, a Phase I 

Environmental Site Assessment would 

be conducted to ensure BLM 

compliance with section 120(h) of the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation and Liability 

Act. Under the provision of the RPPA, 

government entities requesting the 

acquisition of BLM-administered land 

for public health-related facilities 

qualify for special pricing at $10 per 

acre, and the purchase price of the 

requested 541.5 acres would therefore 

be $5,415.00. 

A copy of this notice will be 

published in the newspaper of local 

circulation once a week for three 

consecutive weeks and posted to the 

BLM’s National Environmental Policy 

Act register ePlanning: https://

eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/ 

project/2018065/510. 

Upon publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register, the lands will be 

segregated from all other forms of 

appropriation under the public land 

laws, including location under the 

mining laws, except for conveyance 

under the RPPA and leasing under the 

mineral leasing laws. 

The conveyance of the lands, if it 

occurs, will be subject to the following 

terms, conditions, and reservations: 

1. A right-of-way thereon 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). 

2. Provisions of the RPPA and all 

applicable regulations of the Secretary 

of the Interior. 

3. All mineral deposits in the lands so 

conveyed, and the right to prospect for, 

mine, and remove such deposits from 

the same under applicable law and 

regulations as established by the 

Secretary of the Interior are reserved to 

the United States, together with all 

necessary access and exit rights. 

4. Conveyance of the parcels is subject 

to valid existing rights. 

5. An appropriate indemnification 

clause protecting the United States from 

claims arising out of the acquiring 

entity’s use, occupancy, or occupation 

on the conveyed lands. 

6. Any other reservations that the 

authorized officer determines 

appropriate to ensure public access and 

proper management of Federal lands 

and interests therein. 

7. No portion of the land shall under 

any circumstances revert to the United 

States if any such portion has been used 

for solid waste disposal or for any other 

purpose which may result in the 

disposal, placement, or release of any 

hazardous substance. 

Classification Comments: Interested 

persons may submit comments 

involving the suitability of the lands for 

development as a wastewater treatment 

facility. Comments on the classification 

are restricted to whether the lands are 

physically suited for the proposal, 

whether the development will maximize 

the future use or uses of the lands, 

whether the use is consistent with local 

planning and zoning, or if the use is 

consistent with State and Federal 

programs. 

Application Comments: Interested 

persons may submit comments 

regarding the specific use proposed in 

the RPPA application and plan of 

development, whether the BLM 

followed proper administrative 

procedures, or any other factor not 

directly relating to the suitability of the 

lands for use as a wastewater treatment 

facility. 

Any adverse comments will be 

reviewed by the BLM Oregon/ 

Washington State Director or other 

authorized official of the Department of 

the Interior, who may sustain, vacate, or 

modify this realty action. In the absence 

of any adverse comments, the 

classification will become effective on 

November 18, 2024. The lands will not 

be offered for conveyance until after the 

classification becomes effective. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email address, or other 

personal identifying information in any 

comment, 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.
