The appraised market value of the subject property is $879,000 (eight hundred and seventynine thousand dollars and no cents). The purpose of this sale is to dispose of a tract of land that will serve important public objectives, including but not limited to, expansion of communities and economic development, which cannot be achieved prudently or feasibly on land other than public land. The sale of this land outweighs other public objectives and values, including, but not limited to, recreation and scenic values, which would be served by maintaining such tract in Federal ownership. The sale does not affect a grazing allotment. No significant resource values will be affected by this transfer. The locatable, salable, and leasable mineral rights will be conveyed simultaneously with the surface estate. The disposal would not generate any adverse energy impacts or limit energy production and distribution (Executive Order 13212). It has been determined that the subject parcel contains no mineral value. Acceptance of a sale offer will constitute an application for conveyance of these mineral interests. In conjunction with the final payment, the applicant will be required to pay a $50.00 non-refundable filing fee for processing the conveyance of the mineral interests when remitting final payment for the parcel. On February 17, 2006, the above described land will be segregated from all other forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including the general mining laws and leasing under the mineral leasing laws.
