SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 
1976, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Lake Havasu Field Office 
announces an Open House to be held in Bullhead City, Arizona, to 
identify issues and accept comments concerning a proposed development 
on approximately 280 acres of BLM-administered land presently under 
lease. The land is located in Bullhead City, Arizona, along the shores 
of the Colorado River.
    The concessioner intends to use the land for the Silver Shores 
Project, a development of multi-use recreational facilities, including 
a recreational vehicle park, sports complex, and associated commercial 
facilities. This notice is intended to invite the public to participate 
in identification of issues and the consideration of alternatives. All 
comments will be considered during analysis and assessment of the 
project, including all reasonable alternatives.

DATES: An Open House to identify public concerns will be held at the 
following date and location: Tuesday, September 9, 1997 from 4:00 p.m. 
to 8:00 p.m. at the Bullhead City Area Chamber of Commerce Conference 
Room, 1251 Highway 95, Bullhead City, AZ. Comments relating to the 
identification of issues and alternatives will be accepted at the 
meeting, or by mail if postmarked no later than September 24, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to: Bureau of Land Management, Lake Havasu 
Field Office, 2610 Sweetwater Avenue, Lake Havasu City, AZ 86406.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mike Wilson, Concession Specialist, (520) 505-1200.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Silver Shores Project proposes a 
recreational vehicle (RV) park, along with an office, postal, fueling, 
food service, RV storage and other support facilities. Later 
development may include a sports complex, rooms for extended overnight 
stays, live entertainment, and retail facilities. The project would 
require five to ten years to reach completion. It is contiguous to a 
city park and fire station and is consistent with city planning and 
zoning requirements. No development has taken place. No marina is 
planned or proposed. No full time residency is authorized. The 
government remains the landowner.

Havasu Field Office's interdisciplinary team.
    1. Riparian habitats included within the boundary of the parcel.
    2. Potential impacts to any threatened and endangered species that 
may occur on the parcel.
    3. Existing public uses of the parcel.

Other Relevant Information

    Complete information of all phases of the proposed Silver Shores 
Project will be available for public review at the Open House and at
