<br />QOnSJ6 <br /> <br />Planned Actions <br /> <br />I. The BLM lands in the resource area have heen divided <br />into general retention and disposal areas (see Map 3). <br /> <br />a. The retention area is the existing land base to be <br />managed under multiple use concepts. All land <br />tenure adjustment actions (including recreation and <br />public purposes [R&PP] actions and exchanges), <br />except sales under Section 203 of FLPMA, will be <br />considered on a case,by-<:ase basis, if the public <br />interest would be served. Section 302 leases and <br />pennits will be allowed. Conveyance actions will <br />be precluded in wilderness and other special <br />management areas. <br /> <br />b. Disposal land tenure adjustment actions will be <br />allowed on approximately 6,670 acres of public land <br />that meet the criteria for disposal under applicable <br />authority (see Appendix 3). This acreage includes <br />land tenure adjustment actions for existing BLM <br />authorized sanitary landfill sites near Oak Creek <br />and Maybell located within the retention area. <br />Section 302 leases and permits would also be <br />allowed. <br /> <br />2. Acquisition of land will be pursued based on identified <br />resource values and needs (see Map 3). <br /> <br />Resource Condition and Rationale <br /> <br />Consolidation of public land patterns into more <br />manageable blocks would improve management efficiency. <br />Preliminary review ofavailable data shows that the identified <br />disposal tracts generally contain no outstanding public use <br />or resource values that warrant this retention in federal <br />ownership. Acquisition of private land with special resource <br />values would enhance resource management or benefit the <br />public use and enjoyment of such lands. <br /> <br />Implementation Priorities <br /> <br />Priorities for disposal will be based on public demand. <br />Acquisition priorities will be based on priorities of the <br />resource programs for which the acquisitions are needed. <br /> <br />Monitoring <br /> <br />None required. <br /> <br />Support <br /> <br />Support will be requested from BLM resource specialists <br />for preparing appraisal, NEPA compliance, and mineral <br />reports and for obtaining cultural, threatened and endangered <br /> <br />RESOURCE MANAGEMENT DEQSIONS <br /> <br />species, and paleontological clearances. Support from BLM <br />surveyors to conduct cadastral surveys on some tracts will <br />be required. Suppon from BLM appraisers will be needed <br />for valuation of tracts to be sold, exchanged, or acquired. <br /> <br />Major Right.or.Way Management <br /> <br />Objectives <br /> <br />. To allow the most efficient right-<lf-way routes while <br />identifing areas which would not be compatible with <br />use as rights-<lf-way. <br /> <br />Planned Actions <br /> <br />I. No rights-of-way corridors are fonnally designated. <br /> <br />2. Specific areas unsuitable for major rights-<lf-way are <br />shown in Table 9. <br /> <br />TABLE 9 <br /> <br />AREAS UNSUITABLE fOR <br />SITING MAJOR RIGHTS-Of-WAY <br /> <br /> Percentage <br /> of Resource <br />Reason I Area Acreage Area 2 <br />Wilderness Diamond Breaks 36,240 3 <br /> Cross Mountain 14,081 1 <br />Research Natural Limestone Ridge 1,350 <br /> Areas <br />Area of Critical Irish Canyon 11,680 <br />Environmental <br />Concern <br />Special Recreation Lillie Yampal 15,360 <br />Management Area Juniper Canyon <br /> (Lower Unit) <br /> TOTAL 78,711 6 <br /> <br />I Valid existing righls would be respected. <br /> <br />, 1,300,()()() acres <br /> <br />3.
