1.2 pg 86 All acquired Catellus lands were conveyed to the U.S. by S.F. Pacific Properties, Inc. a Delaware corporation, by Grand Deed for valuable consideration ($), or by donation (gift). Lands were acquired with LWCF appropriations by Congress and by funds from the Wildlands Conservancy, a non-profit corporation. Catellus sold lands to the BLM at a bulk discount / per acre value below appraised value. Wildlands funded all transactions which were a donation to the BLM. Wildlands was not paid any LWCF money since the lands were owned by S.F. Pacific Properties. Wildlands lobbied Congress for LWCF money and contributed money from donors to fund the purchases. Later acquisition phases involved the transfer of all mineral and oil and gas rights from S.F. Pacific to Wildlands prior to the transfer of the surface rights to the BLM. These rights are currently held by Wildlands (split estate) and the BLM owns the surface only on some properties.

These impacts could include a conflict with existing federal, state, and local land uses, plans, and policies; conflicts with existing BLM land use authorizations; changes in public land disposition; restriction of the land use authorizations of the BLM; restriction of land tenure adjustments; or restrictions on livestock and grazing management.
Up to about 50,000 acres of land could ultimately be developed for renewable energy at the West Chocolate Mountains REEA. In addition, tens of thousands of other acres of other BLM and non-BLM land could be developed in the foreseeable future. If all of these projects were to be developed, they would cause a cumulative impact to recreational use in the region...
....Further, given that many people live in the area because of its rural character, projects approved under the West Chocolate Mountains REEA EIS, combined with other changes in the landscape, may permanently alter the rural feel of the community.
