LEASE NOTICE NO.1
.r !Î r¡ .,1 8 8
'..-' '",) t; ,)~ ..
Under Regulation 43 CFR 3101.1-2 and terms of the lease (BLM Form 3100-11), the authorized officer may require
reasonable measures to minimize adverse impacts to other resource values, land uses, and users not addressed in
lease stipulations at the time operations are proposed. Such reasonable measures may include, but are not limited to,
modification of siting or design of facilities, timing of operations, and specification of interim and fjnal reclamation
measures, which may require relocating proposed operations up to 200 meters, but not off the leasehold, and
prohibiting surface disturbance activities for up to 60 days.
The lands within this lease may include areas not specifically addressed by lease stipulations that may contain special
values, may be needed for special purposes, or may require special attention to prevent damage to surface andlor
other resources. Possible special areas are identified below. Any surface use or occupancy within such special areas
will be strictly .controlled or, if absolutely necessary, prohibited. Appropriate modifications to imposed restrictions
will be made for the maintenance and operation of producing wells.
1. Slopes in excess of 25 percent.
2. Within 500 feet of surface water and/or riparian areas.
3. Construction with frozen material or during periods when the soil material is saturated or when watershed
damage is likely to occur.
4. Within 500 feet of Interstate highways and 200 feet of other existing rights-of-way (i.e., U.S. and State
highways, roads, railroads, pipelines, powerlines).
5. Within 1/4 mile of occupied dwellings.
6. Material sites.
GUIDANCE:
The intent of this notice is to inform interested parties (potential lessees, permittees, operators) that when one or
more of the above conditions exist, surface disturbing activities wiIJ be prohibited unless or until the permittee or the
designated representative and the surface management agency (SMA) arrive at an acceptable plan for mitigation of
anticipated impacts. This negotiation wiIJ occur prior to development and become a condition for approval when
authorizing the action.
Specific threshold criteria (e.g., 500 feet from water) have been established based upon the best information
available. However, geographical areas and time periods of concern must be delineated at the field level (i.e.,
"surface water and/or riparian areas" may include both intermittent and ephemeral water sources or may be limited to
perennial surface water).
The referenced oil and gas leases on these lands are hereby made subject to the stipulation that the exploration or
drilling activities will not interfere materially with the use of the area as a materials sitelfree use permit. At the time
operations on the above lands are commenced, notification will be made to the appropriate agency. The name of the
appropriate agency may be obtained from the proper BLM Field Office.

BACKGROUND:
r:(\n·<! 09
\.. " ;' J' r', .
. ,,,.' \.': :. "'"
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), by incJuding National Historic Trails within its National Landscape
Conservation System, has recognized these trails as national treasures. Our responsibility is to review our strategy
for management, protection, and preservation of these trails. The National Historic Trails in Wyoming, which
incJude the Oregon, California, Mormon Pioneer, and Pony Express Trails, as well as the Nez Perce Trail, were
designated by Congress through the National Trails System Act (P.L. 90-543; 16 U.S.c. 1241-1251) as amended
through P.L. 106-509 dated November 13,2000. Protection of the National Historic Trails is normally considered
under the National Historic Preservation Act (P.L. 89-665; 16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.) as amended through 1992 and the
National Trails System Act. Additionally, Executive Order 13195, "Trails for America in the 2151 Century," signed
January 18,2001, states in Section I: "Federal agencies wilJ...protect, connect, promote, and assist trails of all types
throughout the United States. This will be accomplished by: (b) Protecting the trail corridors associated with
national scenic trails and the high priority potential sites and segments of national historic trails to the degrees
necessary to ensure that the values for which each trail was established remain intact." Therefore, the BLM will be
considering all impacts and intrusions to the National Historic Trails, their associated historic landscapes, and a1l
associated features, such as trail traces, grave sites, historic encampments, inscriptions, natura] features frequently
commented on by emigrants in journals, letters and diaries, or any other feature contributing to the historic
significance of the trails. Additional National Historic Trails will likely be designated amending the National Trails
System Act. When these amendments occur, this notice will apply to those newly designated National Historic
Trails as wel!.
STRATEGY:
The BLM will proceed in this objective by conducting a viewshed analysis on either side of the designated centerline
of the National Historic Trails in Wyoming, except, at this time, for the Nez Perce Trail, for the purpose of
identifying and evaluating potential impacts to the trails, their associated historic landscapes, and their associated
historic features. Subject to the viewshed analysis and archaeological inventory, reasonable mitigation measures
may be applied. These may incJude, but are not limited to, modification of siting or design of facilities to
camouflage or otherwise hide the proposed operations within the viewshed. Additionally, specification of interim
and final reclamation measures may require relocating the proposed operations within the leasenold. Surface
disturbing activities will be analyzed in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (P.L. 91-
190; 42 U.S.c. 4321-4347) as amended through P.L. 94-52, July 3,1975 and P.L. 94-83, August 9,1975, and the
National Historic Preservation Act, supra, to determine if any design, siting, timing, or recJamation requirements are
necessary. This strategy is necessary until the BLM determines that, based on the results of the completed viewshed
analysis and archaeological inventory, the existing land use plans (Resource Management Plans) have to be
amended.
The use of this lease notice is a predecisional action, necessar)' until final decisions regarding surface
disturbing restrictions are made. Final decisions regarding surface disturbing restrictions will take place
with fu1l public disclosure and public involvement over the next several years if BLM determines that it is
necessary to amend existing land use plans,
GUIDANCE:
The intent of this notice is to inform interested parties (potential lessees, permittees, operators) that when any oil and
gas lease contains remnants of National Historic Trails, or is located within the viewshed of a National Historic
TraiJs' designated centerline, surface disturbing activities will require the lessee, permittee, operator or, their
designated representative, and the surface management agency (SMA) to arrive at an acceptable plan for mitigation
of anticipated impacts. This negotiation will occur prior to development and become a condition for approval when
authorizing the action.

NOTICE TO LESSEE
Provisions of the Mineral Leasing Act (MLA) of 1920, as amended by the Federal Coal Leasing
Amendments Act of 1976, affect an enrity's qualificarions to obtain an oil and gas lease. Secrion2(a)(2)(A)
of the MLA., 30 U.S.c. 201 (a)(2)(A), requires that any entity that holds and has held a Federal coal lease
for 10 years beginning on or after August 4, 1976, and who is not producing coal in commercial quantities
fTom each such lease, cannot qualify for the issuance of any other lease granted under the MLA.
Compliance by coal lessees with Section 2(a)(2)(A) is explained in 43 CFR 3472.
In accordance with the terms of this oil and gas lease, \vith respect to compliance by the initial lessee with
qualificarions concerning Federal coal lease holdings, all assignees and transferees are hereby notified that
this oil anà gas lease is subject to cancellation if: (1) the iniriallessee as assignor or as transferor has falsely
certified compliance with Secrion 2(a)(2)(A), or (2) because of a denial or disapproval by a State Office
of a pending coal acrion, i.e., anTIS-length assignment, relinquishment, or logical mining unit, the iniriallessee
as assignor or as transferor is no longer in compliance \\;ith Section 2(a)(2)(A). The assignee, sublessee
or transferee does not qualify as a bona fide purchaser and, thus, has no rights to bona fide purchaser
protection in the event of cancellation ofthis lease due to noncompliance v.-ith Section 2(a)(2)(A).
Infonnarion regarding assignor, sublessor or transferor compliance with Section 2(a)(2)(A) is contained
