Mike Cook & Dean Huibregtse, BLM re: Riggins shooting range down by Riggins and the old mill site by Elk City – dispose of both sites – Riggins is in the boundary of area of critical environmental concern – can’t dispose of it to county. Two options – legislation to list this area as wild & scenic. If bill goes through than BLM can dispose of this property to county.
Mike requested information on map and lay out of this area for the gun range. Commissioners requested copy. This is for the new shooting range.
Second option – BLM can go into an amended resource management plan – go through process and boss signs on line – then take the property and dispose of it to county.
Old mill site in Elk City – lease with BLM on old portion of mill site and has sub leased it to county – BLM was going to dispose of this to the county. Determined as a hazmat site – this has already been inspected and it is safe. according to Wyatt and Associates. Because of a hazmat site – BLM cannot dispose of this to the county.
