Gila and Salt River Meridian, Arizona

T. 40 N., R. 6 W.,

Containing 400 acres.

The town of Colorado City has made

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42

U.S.C. 4371) and any other Federal and

State laws and regulations applicable to

the disposal of solid wastes and

hazardous substances.

Publication of this notice in the

Federal Register, will segregate and

make the lands unavailable to all forms

of appropriation under the public land

laws, including the general mining and

mineral leasing laws, except for

conveyance under the R&PP Act, as

amended. Segregation shall terminate

upon publication in the Federal

Register of an opening order or upon

issuance of a patent or deed, which ever

occurs first.

CLASSIFICATION COMMENTS: Interested

parties may submit comments involving

the suitability of the land for solid waste

disposal. Comments on the

classification are restricted to whether

the land is physically suited for solid

waste disposal, whether the use will

maximize the future use or uses of the

land, whether the use is consistent with

local planning and zoning, or if the use

is consistent with State and Federal

programs.

APPLICATION COMMENTS: Interested

parties may submit comments regarding

the specific use proposed in the

application and plan of development,

whether the BLM followed proper

administrative procedures in reaching

the decision, or any other factor not

directly related to the suitability of the

land for solid waste disposal.

DATES: For a period of 45 days from the

date of this publication, interested

parties may submit comments to the

District Manager, Bureau of Land

Management, Arizona Strip District, 390
