3. Transfer jurisdiction for the BLM 

land within the renewed CMAGR to the 

DoN, which would make the DoN 

responsible for managing all land within 

the range in accordance with the Sikes 

Act until such time that the need for the 

range may end and it is deactivated and 

closed (Alternative 3). 

The no-action alternative (Alternative 

5) would result in the closure of the 

CMAGR for military training. Selection 

of this alternative would trigger 

planning and actions to compensate for 

the displacement of training from the 

range and planning and actions for the 

decommissioning, decontamination and 

cleanup, and potential reuse of at least 

portions of the range. The BLM would 

resume full administrative 

responsibility for about 226,825 acres of 

currently withdrawn BLM land, with 

the possible exception of parcels that 

the Secretary of the Interior may not be 

able to accept because of potential 

expended ordnance contamination. The 

Secretary of the Navy would be 

responsible for custodial management of 

parcels with unacceptable levels of 

expended ordnance contamination. The 

Secretary of the Navy would also retain 

administrative responsibility for about 

229,256 acres of DoN land from the 

closed CMAGR until such time as a 

portion or all of that land could be 

transferred to another federal agency, 

the State of California, or otherwise 

disposed of through existing GSA 

authorities and procedures. The State of 

California holds reversionary rights for 

about 11,311 acres of DoN land in the 

CMAGR that were acquired in fee from 

the State. California also holds some or 

all mineral rights on an additional 

10,981 acres of the DoD land.
