Clark County has filed R&PP applications to develop the above

pertaining to this application, plan of development, and site plan are
in the case files, which are located in the Bureau of Land Management
(BLM) Las Vegas Field Office.
Clark County is a political subdivision of the State of Nevada and

required for any Federal purpose. The lease/conveyance is consistent
with the BLM Las Vegas Resource Management Plan, dated October 5, 1998,
and would be in the public interest. The plans of development have been
reviewed and it is determined the proposed action conforms with land
use plan decision, LD-1, established in accordance with section 202 of
the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, as amended (43 U.S.C.
1712). The lease/conveyance, when issued, will be subject to the
provisions of the R&PP Act and applicable regulations of the Secretary
of the Interior, and will contain the following reservations to the
United States:
1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches or canals constructed by the
authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945).
