Notice of Realty Action: Recreation 

and Public Purposes Classification 

and Conveyance of Public Land in 

Don ̃ a Ana County, NM 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) has examined and 

found suitable for classification for 

conveyance about 125 acres of public 

land in Don ̃ a Ana County, New Mexico, 

under the provisions of the Recreation 

and Public Purposes (R&PP) Act, as 

amended. The City of Las Cruces (City) 

has applied to obtain patent on its 

current landfill R&PP leases NMNM 

000014 and NMNM 018155 each of 40 

acres with a history of landfill use. 

Additionally, the City has applied to 

obtain patent of 45 acres (NMNM 

132849) of land adjacent to the leases. 

The resulting patent would total 125 

acres. As a separate transaction, the City 

filed an application for the conveyance 

of the federally owned mineral interests 

in the 125-acre parcel of land described 

in this notice. The BLM is processing 

the mineral application under Section 

209 of the Federal Land Policy and 

Management Act (FLPMA). 

DATES: The BLM must receive written 

comments regarding the proposed 

classification or conveyance on or 

before December 29, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Send written comments 

concerning the proposed conveyances to 

the District Manager, BLM Las Cruces 

District Office, 1800 Marquess Street, 

Las Cruces, NM 88005.

Persons who use a telecommunications

Federal Information Relay Service 

(FIRS) at 1–800–877–8339 to contact the

The FIRS is available 24 hours a day, 

7 days a week, to leave a message or 

question with the above individual. You

business hours. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The City 

has requested that the BLM patent to the 

City two existing 40-acre landfill R&PP 

leased parcels, and 45 acres of 

additional adjacent land (125 acres 

total) so that the City may continue to 

manage the 125 acres in accordance 

with a landfill closure plan approved by 

the New Mexico Environment 

Department. The parcels of land are 

described as: 

New Mexico Principal Meridian, New 

Mexico 

T. 23 S., R. 2 E., 

Sec. 11, W1⁄2NW1⁄4NW1⁄4NW1⁄4NE1⁄4, 

W1⁄2SW1⁄4NW1⁄4NW1⁄4NE1⁄4, N1⁄2NW1⁄4, 

N1⁄2SW1⁄4NW1⁄4, NW1⁄4SW1⁄4SW1⁄4NW1⁄4, 

N1⁄2SE1⁄4NW1⁄4. 

The area described contains 125 acres. 

The land is not required for any other 

Federal purpose and it has been 

determined that the proposed action 

conforms to the Mimbres Resource 

Management Plan, approved December 

1993. 

The conveyance, if completed, would 

be subject to limitations prescribed by 

law and regulations. Prior to patent 

issuance, a holder of any right-of-way 

within the parcels may be given the 

opportunity to amend the right-of-way 

for conversion to a new term, including 

perpetuity, if applicable, or an 

easement. In accordance with 

regulations at 43 CFR 2807.15(b), the 

BLM notified the valid existing right-ofway holders by letter of their ability to 

convert their rights-of-way to perpetual 

rights-of-way or easements. None of the 

holders requested conversion of their 

current authorizations, so the BLM will 

continue to administer their rights-ofway as authorized after the conveyance. 

The conveyance would also be subject 


TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 218 / Wednesday, November 12, 2014 / Notices 67187 

to the provisions of the R&PP Act and 

applicable regulations of the Secretary 

of the Interior including, but not limited 

to, 43 CFR part 2743 and would be 

subject to the following terms, 

conditions, and reservations to the 

United States: 

1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches 

and canals constructed by the authority 

of the United States, Act of August 30, 

1890 (43 U.S.C. 945); 

2. All minerals of known mineral 

value shall be reserved to the United 

States, together with the right to 

prospect for, mine, and remove such 

deposits from the same under applicable 

law and such regulations as the 

Secretary of the Interior may prescribe. 

(Note, however, that the mineral estate 

may be separately patented to the R&PP 

applicant if a separate application under 

Section 209 of FLPMA is approved); 

3. Valid existing rights; 

4. A right-of-way for a telephone/

telegraph line granted to Qwest 

Corporation, its successors or assigns, 

by right-of-way NMNM–61211; 

5. A right-of-way for a 24/13.8 kV 

electric transmission line granted to El 

Paso Electric Company, its successors or 

assigns, by right-of-way NMNM–83958; 

6. No portion of the land patented 

shall revert to the United States under 

any circumstance. In addition, the 

patentee will comply with all Federal 

and State laws applicable to the 

disposal, placement, or release of 

hazardous substances (substance as 

defined in 40 CFR part 302); 

7. Specifically in regards to the 45- 

acre parcel, which has never been 

leased or conveyed out of the public 

lands, the investigation by the 

authorized officer discloses no 

hazardous substances as listed in 43 

CFR 2743.2(a)(6). However, the history 

of the parcel indicates that household 

hazardous waste may have been 

disposed; 

8. Specifically in regards to the two 

40-acre parcels, which have been under 

lease, the investigation by the 

authorized officer shows that the 

involved lands contain only those 

quantities and types of hazardous 

substances consistent with household 

waste. The authorized officer has 

reasonable basis to believe that the 

contents of the leased disposal site do 

not threaten human health and the 

environment as listed in 43 CFR 

2743.3(a)(4); 

9. Specifically in regards to the two 

40-acre parcels, the lands have been 

used for disposal of solid waste. The 

land may contain small quantities of 

commercial hazardous waste and 

household hazardous waste as 

determined in the Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, 

as amended (43 U.S.C. 6901), and 

defined in 40 CFR 261.4 and 261.5. 

Based on the review of the Phase I 

Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) 

signed on April 3, 2013, the authorized 

officer reached the following 

conclusions: (1) Although the subject 

site is a closed Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, 

Compensation, and Liability Act 

(CERCLA) landfill, this Phase I ESA has 

revealed no Historic Recognized 

Environmental Conditions, which in the 

past may have been considered a 

Recognized Environmental Condition. 

However, the landfill is in year 8 of its 

30-year monitoring period, and is in 

corrective action with the New Mexico 

Environmental Department for an 

expanding groundwater contaminant 

plume; (2) The ESA is in conformance 

with the scope and limitation of the 

American Society for Testing and 

Materials ASTM E1527–05 and satisfies 

current BLM requirements; and (3) No 

further inquiry is needed for purposes of 

all appropriate inquire; therefore this 

landfill is suitable for disposal in 

accordance with CERCLA 120(h); and 

10. An indemnification clause 

protecting the United States from claims 

arising out of the patentee’s use, 

occupancy, or operations on the land 

will be included in the patent when 

issued. 

Upon publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register, the land described 

above will be segregated from all other 

forms of appropriation under the public 

land laws, including the United States 

general mining laws, except for 

conveyance under the R&PP Act, leasing 

under the mineral leasing laws and 

disposals under the mineral material 

disposal laws. Interested parties may 

submit written comments on the 

suitability of the land for a landfill. 

Comments on the classification are 

restricted to 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 if the use is consistent 

with State and Federal programs. 

Interested persons may submit written 

comments regarding the specific use 

proposed in the application and plan of 

development, whether the BLM 

followed appropriate administrative 

procedures in reaching the decision to 

convey under the R&PP Act. Documents 

related to this action are on file at the 

BLM, Las Cruces District Office at the 

address in this section and may be 

reviewed by the public upon request. 

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. Only written comments 

submitted to the District Manager, BLM 

Las Cruces District Office, will be 

considered properly filed. 

Any adverse comments regarding this 

action will be reviewed by the BLM 

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, this realty action 

will become the final determination of 

the Department of the Interior. 

Authority: 43 CFR part 2743 and 43 CFR 

part 2920.
