Requires the USDA Forest Service to sell about 14 acres of National Forest System land in the Chequamegon‑Nicolet National Forest to a named private buyer at appraised market value, with the buyer covering appraisal and conveyance costs and the conveyance made by quitclaim deed. Directs the Department of the Interior to complete a review of how Federal permits are processed for development of stone, sand, and gravel on Federal lands and to submit a public report with findings and recommendations to two Congressional committees within 180 days of enactment.
If, within 180 days after Federal approval of the appraisal, Tony’s Wabeno Redi‑Mix, LLC submits an offer to buy the described property for the appraised market value, the Secretary must convey all United States interest in the property (including mineral rights) to Tony’s Wabeno Redi‑Mix, LLC no later than 180 days after receiving the offer.
The property is a parcel of about 14 acres of National Forest System land in the Chequamegon‑Nicolet National Forest in Wisconsin, shown on a Map described in the section.
The Secretary may correct minor errors in the Map, and a copy of the Map shall be on file and available for public inspection in the appropriate Forest Service office.
The exact acreage and legal description of the land to be conveyed must be determined by a survey satisfactory to the Secretary.
The conveyance must be subject to valid existing rights, made by quitclaim deed, and subject to any other terms and conditions the Secretary considers appropriate to protect U.S. interests.
