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 the area end, the Secretary must transfer about 934 acres of Bureau of Land Management land in San Diego County to the State of California. The area is shown on the map titled “Proposed Table Mountain Wilderness Study Area Transfer to the State” dated November 7, 2018. California must manage the land under the California Wilderness Act (California Public Resources Code sections 5093.30–5093.40). Except for valid existing rights, the land is closed to public land claims, new mining claims, and mineral or geothermal leasing. If California stops managing it as part of the State Park System or in a way that does not follow the California Wilderness Act, the land can return to the Secretary, who may manage it as a Wilderness Study Area.
