Introduced
Summary
Grants Crook County an 80-foot-wide permanent right-of-way and conveys four roughly 40‑acre parcels for a Juniper Canyon road and to create fire‑safe zones. The conveyances would be made without payment and would be subject to valid existing rights. Crook County must pay all conveyance costs and must maintain the parcels as fire safe zones for emergency response and firefighter safety. If the County stops maintaining them as fire safe zones the land would revert to the United States. The areas are shown on the Bureau of Land Management map titled "Juniper Canyon Land Conveyance."
