§410aaa–81a Transfer of land to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park

Summary

When all mining claims on a specific parcel end, the Secretary must transfer that land to the State of California. The area is about 934 acres of Bureau of Land Management land in San Diego County, shown on the map titled "Proposed Table Mountain Wilderness Study Area Transfer to the State" dated November 7, 2018. The State must manage the land under the California Wilderness Act (California Public Resources Code sections 5093.30–5093.40). Except for any valid existing rights, the land will be removed from public land entry or sale, from mining location or patent rules, and from mineral and geothermal leasing laws. If the State stops managing the area as part of the State Park System or in a way that conflicts with the California Wilderness Act, the Secretary may take the land back and manage it as a Wilderness Study Area.
