Notice of Realty Action: Recreation 

and Public Purposes Act 

Classification, Pinal County, AZ 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of realty action. 

SUMMARY: Pinal County, AZ, filed an 

application with the Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) to develop three 

parcels of BLM-managed land as part of 

a regional park that will help meet 

expanding recreational needs in the area 

near Maricopa, AZ. The BLM, Lower 

Sonoran Field Office, examined the 

three parcels consisting of 

approximately 497 acres of public land 

and determined that the parcels are 

suitable for classification under the 

provisions of the Recreation and Public 

Purposes (R&PP) Act, as amended. The 

R&PP Act allows local governments to 

lease, develop, and subsequently 

acquire public lands for recreation and 

other public purposes if compliant with 

local government and BLM land use 

planning. The R&PP project is 

consistent with the Federal Land Policy 

and Management Act, as amended, and 

associated BLM regulations and 

policies. 

DATES: Interested parties may submit 

written comments regarding the 

classification and decision to issue a 

lease on or before May 16, 2022. In the 

absence of adverse comments, the 

decision to lease the land will become 

effective no less than 60 days after the 

date of publication in the Federal 

Register.

the objectives of the BLM Lower 

Sonoran Resource Management Plan 

dated September 19, 2012, and was 

analyzed consistent with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

park in Pinal County and 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 whether 

the proposed use is consistent with 

State and Federal programs. Comments 

may also include concerns over the 

specific use proposed in the application 

and whether the BLM followed proper 

administrative procedures in reaching 

the decision to lease the lands under the 

R&PP Act. Only written comments 

submitted to the BLM Lower Sonoran 

Field Office will be considered properly 

filed. 

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. Any adverse comments will be 

considered protests and will be 

reviewed by the BLM Arizona State 

Director, who may sustain, vacate, or

History and Description of the Human 

Remains 

In 1956, human remains representing, 

at minimum, nine individuals were 

removed from the White Rapids site 

(20ME3), in Menominee County, MI, 

during an excavation conducted by an 

archeologist from the University of 

Michigan Museum of Anthropological 

Archaeology. The site consists of a pair 

of mounds located near the Menominee 

River in the Menominee State Forest. 

Human remains and associated funerary 

objects were removed from Mound 2, 

which contained three separate burial 

episodes designated as Features 1, 2, 

and 3. Feature 1 is described as an 

extended adult female burial. Feature 2 

is described as containing charred 

human remains from several long bones 

representing multiple individuals. 

Feature 3 is described as fragmentary 

human remains from a disturbed burial. 

The human remains removed from the 

site are one young adult 19–30 years 

old, female; one adult, female; one child 

9–10 years old; one older adult 40+ 

years old, indeterminate sex; one 

cremated adult, indeterminate sex; one 

older adult 40+ years old, possible male; 

one adult, possible female; one 

cremated adult, possible male; and one 

cremated adult 35–49 years old, female. 

The burials date to the Late Woodland 

Period (500–1400 A.D.) based on burial 

treatment. No known individuals were 

identified. The six associated funerary 

objects are one lot of charred wood; one 

lot of charcoal, soil, and unworked 

pebbles; one lot of ashes; one lot of 

charcoal; one lot of fire-cracked rock; 

and one lot of grit-tempered and 

decorated ceramic sherd. 

The human remains have been 

determined to be Native American 

based on cranial morphology, accession 

documentation, and archeological 

context. A relationship of shared group 

identity can be reasonably traced 

between the Native American human 

remains from this site and the 

Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin, 

based on the site’s location within the 

lands traditionally occupied by the 

Menominee. Moreover, according to oral 

tradition and historical accounts, the
