Impacts to the lands and realty program from implementing the alternatives include land disposal, acquisition, and withdrawal, and management that makes realty actions more difficult to complete. Alternative B includes the most area for standard acquisition (228,164 acres), followed by Alternative D (228,148 acres), and Alternative C (87,068). Alternative C includes the largest area available for disposal (117,961 acres), followed by Alternative A (116,800 acres), Alternative D (66,022 acres), and Alternative B (24,267 acres). In the past, there has been an overall net decrease of BLM-administered land in the Planning Area and this trend is expected to continue under all the alternatives. Long-term impacts associated with the withdrawal and segregation of lands would be the greatest under Alternative B, because the BLM would withdraw the largest area, followed by alternatives A, D, and C, respectively.

Land will continue to be available for community expansion under all alternatives, with Alternative C providing more opportunities for small-scale property boundary adjustments and agricultural expansion for private land owners. Long-term impacts associated with the withdrawal and segregation of lands would be the greatest under Alternative B, because the BLM would withdraw the largest amount of acreage, followed by Alternative A, and alternatives D and C.
