This location is known as the
Boundary Cone Road location and is the
proponent’s proposed action. It has been
examined and found suitable for

Due to Native American concerns,
BLM initiated an Alternative Dispute

the addition of another alternative for
analysis. This alternative, known as the
Willow Road location, has been
examined and found suitable for

Resource Management Plan if the plan
amendment is approved. Conveyance of
public land for a shooting range would
be in the public interest. The
conveyance, if issued, would be subject
to the provisions of the R&PP Act and
applicable regulations of the Secretary
of the Interior and would contain the
following reservations to the United
States:
1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches
and canals constructed by the authority
of the United States, Act of August 30,
1890 (43 U.S.C. 945).
2. All Federal minerals shall be
reserved to the United States, together
with the right to prospect for, mine and
remove such deposits from the same
under applicable law and such
regulations as the Secretary of the
Interior may prescribe.
And the conveyance would be subject
to:
1. Valid existing rights.
In addition, if the Boundary Cone
Road location is selected, the
conveyance would be subject to:

as have been granted to Mohave County,

land laws, including the general mining
laws, except for conveyance under the
R&PP Act, leasing under the mineral
