BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – The Bureau of Land Management Bakersfield Field Office is publishing a Notice of Realty Action that opens a 45-day public comment period on a proposal to sell 5.93 acres near Santa Maria, California, to Arc Vineyards LLC, for fair market value.
The direct land sale would not impact public land users as there is no public access to the parcel. If the sale is approved, Arc Vineyards plans to set aside the property as open space to meet Santa Barbara County's development and permitting requirements.
The BLM welcomes and values diverse views. To be most helpful, written comments are requested by Monday, Feb. 5. Submit written comments by email at blm_ca_bk_arcvinecomments@blm.gov, via facsimile to 661-391-6041, or through mail or hand-delivery to BLM Bakersfield, Attn: Arc Vineyards Land Sale, 3801 Pegasus Dr., Bakersfield, CA 93308. For specific questions, please contact Realty Specialist Maria Soto at 661-391-6000.
Before including addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, or other personal identifying information in a comment, be aware that the entire comment—including personal identifying information—may be made publicly available at any time. While someone can ask the BLM to withhold personal identifying information from public review, the BLM cannot guarantee that it will be able to do so.
