To provide to the Secretary of Interior a mechanism to cancel contracts 
    for the sale of materials CA-20139 and CA-22901, and for other 
                               purposes.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Soledad Canyon High Desert, 
California Public Lands Conservation and Management Act of 2009''.

SEC. 2. FINDING AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
            (1) Soledad canyon area.--
                    (A) Two valid Federal contracts, privately held, 
                numbered CA-20139 and CA-22901, and issued under the 
                Materials Act of 1947, authorize extraction of 
                approximately 56,000,000 tons of sand and gravel from 
                the Federal mineral estate in lands located in Soledad 
                Canyon adjacent to the City of Santa Clarita, 
                California.
                    (B) It is in the best interest of the citizens of 
                California and the Federal Government to cancel the 
                Contracts and prohibit future mining in the area that 
                was subject to the two Federal Contracts in the Soledad 
                Canyon area of California.
                    (C) The holder of the Contracts should receive, as 
                compensation for such cancellation, the fair market 
                value of the Contracts and all costs, fees, and covered 
                liabilities incurred by the Contract Holder in good 
                faith in its efforts to develop the Contracts.
                    (D) A site-specific solution that is fair to the 
                Contract Holder and that seeks to protect the 
                environment and minimize impacts on local 
                transportation systems is in the best interest of the 
                Nation.
                    (E) Considerable sums of money have been expended 
                by the Contract Holder and the City of Santa Clarita on 
                legal and other services in trying to ensure their 
                interests are protected with respect to the Contracts 
                CA-20139 and CA-22901.
                    (F) Facilitation of an open-space corridor between 
                the two arms of the Angeles National Forest that 
                enhances environmental and wildlife values is in the 
                national interest.
            (2) Victorville area.--
                    (A) The Bureau of Land Management has extensive 
                land ownership in small and large parcels interspersed 
                with or adjacent to private land in and around 
                Victorville, California, making many of these parcels 
                difficult to manage and appropriate for disposal.
                    (B) Certain public lands near Victorville, 
                California, have been previously identified for 
                disposal as a result of the Bureau of Land Management's 
                West Mojave Land Management Plan which was approved in 
                2006 with public involvement and participation.
                    (C) In order to promote responsible and orderly 
                economic development, certain public lands should be 
                sold at fair market value to the City of Victorville or 
                the County of San Bernardino; both located in 
                California.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are the following:
            (1) To provide to the Bureau of Land Management the 
        authority to cancel Contracts CA-20139 and CA-22901 and 
        prohibit future mining in the area that was subject to the two 
        Federal Contracts in the Soledad Canyon area of California.
            (2) To provide a means for the Contract Holder to recover 
        for the cancellation of the Contracts, the fair market value of 
        the Contracts and the Contract Holder's expenditures and 
        covered liabilities incurred pursuing the development of the 
        Contracts.
            (3) To provide the Bureau of Land Management tools to 
        verify expenses incurred by the Contract Holder and provide 
        relief.
            (4) To provide timelines for the verification of costs 
        incurred by the Contract Holder and the determination of 
        compensation and to provide a dispute resolution process.
            (5) To provide for the orderly disposal of certain Federal 
        lands in San Bernardino County, California, and to provide for 
        the acquisition of environmentally sensitive lands in the State 
        of California.

1713), and subject to subsections (b), (c), and (d), the Secretary 
shall offer for sale by competitive bidding, for a minimum price not 
less than fair market value as determined by appraisal by the Secretary 
under subsection (h), all right, title and interest of the United 
States in and to those lands identified for disposition on the map 
entitled ``Victorville disposal area, California'' dated December 2009. 
The Secretary shall keep such map on file and available for public

provide the City of Victorville, California, with the primary pre-
emptive right to purchase some or all of such right, title, and 
interest in and to the lands identified as Area A on the map referred 
to in subsection (a). The terms of such pre-emptive right shall afford 
the City of Victorville a period of 30 days prior to any phased sale to
