Notice of Realty Action; NonCompetitive Land Use Authorization
for Public Lands in Yuba County, CA
Bureau of Land Management,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of realty action.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Operating Engineers
Local Union No. 3 Joint Apprenticeship
Training Committee has submitted a
written proposal to the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) to utilize portions
of the following described lands in Yuba
County, California for the purposes of
constructing and operating a training
facility for heavy equipment operators:
HSRObinson on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES
T. 16 N., R. 5 E., Mount Diablo Meridian
Sec. 27, Lots 4, 5, and 12,
S1⁄2N1⁄2NE1⁄4SW1⁄4, S1⁄2NE1⁄4SW1⁄4.
The BLM has reviewed the proposal
and has determined that the land would
be suitable for a non-competitive land
use authorization under the provisions
of Section 302 of the Federal Land
Policy and Management Act.
DATES: Interested parties may submit
comments in writing to BLM at the
address below not later than May 15,
2006.
ADDRESSES: Bureau of Land
Management, Field Office Manager,

Jodi
Lawson, Realty Specialist, at address
given above, or by telephone at (916)
985–4474.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
proposal is to utilize 57 acres of public
land for the construction and operation
of an apprenticeship training center for
heavy equipment operators. The
training center would consist of two
2,400 square-foot stationary buildings,
one for maintenance and one for
equipment/vehicle washing; and five
portable trailers that would serve as
classrooms, a restroom, and an
administrative building. The training
center would require approximately
9,500 square feet of unpaved parking
and unpaved roads connecting the
parking area to Hammonton Road.
Approximately 20 pieces of heavy
equipment would be stored on-site
within the unpaved parking area which
would be fenced to control access and
prevent unauthorized entry.
The training center would provide
training opportunities in 6-week classes
with 20 students at a time. Students
would be trained in the use of heavy
equipment in rock, sand and gravel
operations. The center would also offer
2-week classes for upgrading
journeyman equipment operator’s skills.
BLM has assessed the proposal and
determined the proposed use would be
in conformance with the Sierra Planning
Area Management Framework Plan,
under 43 CFR 1610.8. The site is
suitable for the requested land use due
to past industrial mining operations that
has previously severely disturbed the
environment on most of the site. A noncompetitive land use authorization may
be employed due to the absence of any
competitive interest past or present for
use of the land for such a purpose.
An environmental analysis was
completed in connection with the
proposal. The analysis indicated the
project would have positive economic
impacts and no significant
environmental impacts.
Yuba County, in which the area is
located, is one of the more economically
depressed counties in California. Nearly
21% of the county’s population lives
below the poverty line and per capita
income is one third less than the state
average. Projects with positive economic
impacts are highly sought after by local
government. For this reason and others,
the Yuba County Board of Supervisors
supports the project and has passed two
resolutions indicating their support of
the project.
Environmental impacts are benign
due largely to the fact that the area in
which heavy equipment would be

operated has previously been mined.
The land was mined by large gold
dredges that literally turned the
landscape upside down.
On October 13, 2005 a public meeting
was held in Marysville, California to
discuss the project and the
environmental assessment. The meeting
was attended by over 120 people.
Twenty-five speakers spoke in favor,
one in opposition. One speaker spoke in
favor but asked for minor amendments
to the project specifications. Two
current members of the Yuba County
Board of Supervisors and one past board
member made comments in favor of the
project. Six written comments were
provided to the BLM at the public
meeting, all but one was in support. The
letter of opposition was from Western
Aggregates, L.L.C. a mining company
with substantial interests in this area.
The 45-day public comment period on
the environmental assessment yielded
five public comments. One was
extensive and critical of the
environmental assessment. It was
provided by the attorney for Western
Aggregates, L.L.C. A comment letter was
received from the Corps of Engineers
which pointed out their omission as an
agency with an interest in the area, and
a letter was received from the State of
California indicating compliance with
California State Clearinghouse
procedures. The final two comment
letters were from individuals supporting
the project, though one letter requested
certain mitigation measures.
Following publication of this notice,
and pursuant to the regulations at 43
CFR part 2920, BLM will accept for
processing an application filed by the
Operating Engineers Local Union No. 3
Joint Apprenticeship Training Center for
a non-competitive land use
authorization for the above described
public land for use as proposed herein.
Copies of the environmental analysis of
this proposed action are available for
review at the Folsom Field Office.
Comments on BLM’s determination of
the availability and suitability of the
subject lands for the proposed use
described herein and its decision to
accept an application from the
Operating Engineers Local Union No. 3
Joint Apprenticeship Training
Committee for a non-competitive land
use authorization may be submitted to
the BLM at the address stated above
within 30 days following publication of
this notice. All comments will be
evaluated by the BLM Folsom Field
Office Manager prior to making a final
decision on whether or not to authorize
use of the property for a heavy
equipment operator training area.
