Title 16 › CHAPTER 1 — NATIONAL PARKS, MILITARY PARKS, MONUMENTS, AND SEASHORES › SUBCHAPTER LIX–Y — CALIFORNIA DESERT LANDS PARKS, PRESERVE, AND OFF-HIGHWAY VEHICLE RECREATION AREAS › Part D — Miscellaneous Provisions › § 410aaa–81a
When all mining claims on a certain Bureau of Land Management property end, the Secretary must transfer that property to the State of California. The area is about 934 acres in San Diego County and is shown on the map titled "Proposed Table Mountain Wilderness Study Area Transfer to the State," dated November 7, 2018. After the transfer, California must manage the land under the California Wilderness Act. Except for any valid existing rights, the land is taken out of public land entry, mining claims and patents, and mineral or geothermal leasing. If California stops managing the land as part of the State Park System or manages it in a way that conflicts with the California Wilderness Act, the land can go back to the Secretary to be managed as a Wilderness Study Area.
