BLM expects cadastral survey to advance West Wendover conveyance under NDAA mandate
Summary
BLM staff told commissioners a cadastral survey for the West Wendover legislative conveyance is expected by the end of July; the survey will produce a legal land description needed to begin CERCLA-focused environmental site assessments and to move a patent to West Wendover as mandated by the 2003 National Defense Authorization Act.
Brady Owens told the commission that a cadastral survey for the West Wendover legislative conveyance is expected by the end of July and that the survey will provide the legal land description needed to start environmental site assessments. "End of July is when we've been told to start looking for it," Owens said.
Owens said the environmental site-assessment work is necessary to identify hazards that may be carried forward under CERCLA when federal land leaves government ownership. He added that the cadastral survey work has been ongoing for over a year to define the exact acreage, with a small parcel planned for Tooele County and the remainder for the city of West Wendover. No formal local action was recorded at the meeting.
