CONVEYANCE OF A FISH AND WILDLIFE FACILITY TO THE
STATE OF WYOMING
JUNE 25, 1996.-Ordered to be printed
Mr. CHAFEE, from the Committee on Environment and Public
Works, submitted the following
REPORT
[To accompany S. 1802]
The Committee on Environment and Public Works, to which was
referred the bill (S. 1802), a bill to direct the Secretary of the Inte-
rior to convey certain property containing a fish and wildlife facility
to the State of Wyoming, and for other purposes, having considered
the same, reports favorably thereon and recommends that the bill
do pass.
GENERAL STATEMENT
The purpose of this bill is to direct the Secretary of the Interior
to convey certain property, known as Ranch A and containing a
fish and wildlife facility, to the State of Wyoming.
BACKGROUND
The Ranch A property is located in Crook County, Wyoming, and
consists of approximately 680 acres of land. The Ranch A lodge, an
historic building, was constructed in the 1930s and acquired by the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1963. The Fish and Wildlife Serv-
ice conducted trout research operations at the facility until 1980.
Since that time, the Service has maintained the facility, but has
leased the area to a variety of groups including the Wyoming Game
and Fish Department and the South Dakota School of Mines.
While owned and maintained by the Department of the Interior,
the Ranch A property is not currently used by the Fish and Wild-
life Service. The Fish and Wildlife Service intends to divest itself
of the Ranch A property and is likely to designate it as surplus. Be-
cause of its historical significance, the State of Wyoming would like
to assume responsibility for Ranch A.
