The Bureau of Land

application under the Federal Land
Policy Management Act of October 21,
1976 (FLPMA), to convey the undivided
mineral interest owned by the United
States in 96.75 acres located in Mathews
County, Virginia, to the surface owner,
Joseph M. Perdue. Upon publication of
this notice, the BLM is temporarily
segregating the federally owned mineral
interests in the land covered by the
application from all forms of
appropriation under the public land
laws, including the mining laws, for up
to 2 years while the BLM processes the
application. If the application meets the
requirements in the statute and the
regulation, the BLM may convey the
United States’ entire interest in the
minerals within the tract.
DATES: Interested persons may submit
written comments to the BLM at the
address listed below. Comments must
be received no later than October 19,
2015.
ADDRESSES: Bureau of Land

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
federally owned mineral interest
segregated by this Notice is located in
Mathews County, Virginia, in a parcel
described in a deed recorded on May 6,
1990, in Deed Book 154 Page 731 in the
Matthews County Circuit Court as
follows:
All that certain piece, parcel or tract
of land, together with the improvements
thereon and the appurtenances
thereunto belonging, situate, lying, and
being in the Westville Magisterial
District of Mathews County Virginia,
containing 96.7457 acres according to
the plat of survey hereinafter
mentioned, be the same more or less,
and bounded as follows: On the North
by the land of the Commonwealth of
Virginia and by Virginia State Highway
Route 14; on the East by the land of the
Chesapeake Corporation of Virginia; on
the South by the land of Ishmael Bates
Sadler, the land of Robert Dewey Sadler,
the land of Alvin H. and David H.
Ingram, the lands of James M. Wilson
and Ellen W. Wilson and the land of
James J. Walsh, Jr. and Patricia A.
Walsh; and on the West by the land of
Marion Cook and the land of the
Commonwealth of Virginia, and being
more fully and accurately described on
the plat of survey made by Wayne E.
Lewis (of Keller, Lewis and Assoc.,
P.C.), Land Surveyor, dated December
13, 1989 . . . The area described
contains 96.7457 acres.
Under certain conditions, Section
209(b) of FLPMA authorizes the sale
and conveyance of the federally owned
mineral interests in land to the current
surface owner. The applicant has
deposited, as required under Section
209(b)(3)(i) of FLPMA, a sum of money
determined sufficient to cover
administrative costs, including but not
limited to, the cost for the Mineral
Potential Report. The objective is to
allow consolidation of the surface and
mineral interests when either one of the
following conditions exist: (1) There are
no known mineral values in the land; or
(2) Where continued Federal ownership
of the mineral interests interferes with
or precludes appropriate non-mineral
development and such development is a
more beneficial use of the land than
mineral development.
