SHOSHONE, Idaho –Today the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) delivered a patent to convey ownership of 13.78 acres of public land associated with the Lincoln County solid waste transfer station to Lincoln County.
The parcel is located west of Highway 75, about a mile north of Shoshone. The action will transfer the land where the facility is located into permanent county ownership.
“This conveyance makes a lot of sense both economically and environmentally, and the BLM is pleased that we can move forward with this action,” said Twin Falls District Manager Mike Courtney. “It’s a good solution for both Lincoln County and the BLM, as the county can reliably operate the transfer station well into the future.”
Information about the parcel and the conveyance is available at the BLM Shoshone Field Office.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land located primarily in 12 western states, including Alaska, on behalf of the American people. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. Our mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of America’s public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.
