Bureau administered surface or subsurface lies within five of these areas: Hi Mountain-Beartrap, Blue Ridge, Tejon Ranch, Kern County Rangelands and Tulare County Rangelands. Also On July 23, 1993, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service published a proposed rule in the Federal Register (Vol. 58, No. 140, July 23, 1996) proposing the establishment of critical habitat for the southwestern willow flycatcher. Bureau administered surface and subsurface lies within the area proposed for Kern County, California:

Kern County: South Fork of the Kern River from the confluence of Canebrake Creek (T25S, R36E, Section 30) downstream to Isabella Lake Dam (T26S, R33E, Section 19), including Isabella Lake. The boundaries include areas with surface water (main river channel and all associated side channels, backwaters, pools, and marshes) throughout the May-September breeding season, and areas where such surface water no longer exists owing to habitat degradation but may be recovered with habitat rehabilitation. The boundaries also include areas within 100 meters (328 feet) of the edge of surface water described above. This includes areas with thickets of riparian shrubs and trees, and areas where such riparian vegetation does not currently exist but may become established with natural regeneration or habitat rehabilitation.
