The Bureau of Land Management is offering people the opportunity to provide input on the City of Redmond's request to lease BLM public lands. The lease would accommodate expanding the City's wastewater treatment facility and associated wetland complex. The 30-day public scoping period starts today and lasts through December 30, 2022. The wastewater treatment facility is at the north end of Dry Canyon in Deschutes County, Oregon. The lease covers approximately 620 acres and would be leased under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act (Act) of 1954. The city is proposing the expansion to support the projected long-term growth of the community. The proposed facilities would be located on both city-owned and leased BLM public lands. People are invited to provide comments on the proposal during the public scoping period. Comments will help identify alternatives, refine the proposal, and identify issues. The BLM will conduct an environmental assessment of the city's proposal
