As of April 2015, the BIA lists 102 fee-to-trust transactions from 50 California Tribes. These applications encompass almost 12 thousand acres of land (11,620.94) to be taken out of the regulatory authority of the State. These transactions include 14 on reservations acquisitions, 38 acquisitions that are for contiguous lands[1], 5 mandatory transactions and 1 listed as other. These properties are complicated by public right of ways, utility easements and senior water rights which affect civil regulatory relationships not considered when Congress first enacted the Indian Reorganization Act. Because of the nature of tribal sovereignty there is little recourse for resolving disputes that may occur, such as blocking access to private properties, well water interference, or incompatible developments such as an outdoor gun range or race track within 1000 feet of elementary schools, churches, homes or watershed basins.
