Notice of Realty Action: Recreation and Public Purposes Classification Amendment; Calaveras County, CA

SUMMARY: The County of Calaveras proposes to purchase under the Recreation and Public Purposes (R&PP) Act the Wilseyville landfill currently under R&PP lease CAS-056771-01. The R&PP conveyance proposal is for the existing landfill area, consisting of 12.5 acres. The 10 acre landfill area was classified for conveyance in the Federal Register, Vol. 62, No. 70, page 17853, on April 11, 1997. It was later discovered that the entrance gate to the transfer station was inadvertently located outside the original classified 10 acres. To remedy this situation, classification for conveyance under the R&PP Act is amended to add 2.5 acres to the 10 acre classification, for a total of 12.5 acres.
   
The 2.5 acres has been examined and found suitable for conveyance for recreational or public purposes under the provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: You may contact Jodi Lawson at (916) 985-4474.
