GUID.ANCE:
The intent of this notice is to infonn interested parties (potential lessees, pennittees, operators) that when one or. more
of the above conditions exist, surface disturbing activities wìll be prohibited unless or until the pennittee' or the
designated representative and the surface management agency (SMA) 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.
Specific threshold criteria (e.g., 500 feet from water) have been established based upon the best infonnation 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 intennittent 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 wìll not interfere materially with ,the use of the area as a materials site/free 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.

LEASE NOTICE NO.2
BACKGROUND:
00&163
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), by including 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
include the Oregon. California. ::'vIormon 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
~ational Trails System Act. Additionally, Executive Order 13195, "Trails for America in the 21"' Century," signed
January 18, 2001, states in Section I: "Federal agencies will...protect, connect, promote, and assist trails ofall types
throughout the United States. This will be accomplished by: (b) Protecting the trail conidors 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 all
associated features, such as trail traces, grave sites, historic encampments, inscriptions, natural features frequently
commented on by emigrants in journals, letters and diaries, or any other feature conuibuting 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 well.
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 include, but are not limited to, modification of siting or design offacilities to camouflage
or otherwise hide the proposed operations within the viewshed. Additionally, specification of interim and final
reclamation measur~s may require relocating the proposed operations within the leasehold. Surface disturbing
activities will be analyzed in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (Pol. 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, ~ to determine if any design, siting, timing, or reclamation 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 tbis lease notice is a predecisional action, necessary until final decisions regardiDg suñace disturbiDI
restrictions are made. Final decisions regarding suñace disturbing restrictions will take place witb full public
disclosure and public involvement over the next several years if BLM determines tbat 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
Trails' 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. CERTIFIED

THIS STIPULATION APPLIES TO ALL PARCELS
0001.64
'The u. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) has proposed for listing under the Endangered Species Act
(ESA) of 1973, the mountain plover (Charadrius montanus) as a threatened species. A listing package
has been sentto the Director ofFWS in Washington. D. C. for review/approval. The listing is very likely
in the near future. Mountain plovers migrate to Wyoming to nest each year and are confinned to nest in
every county. Even though they arrive in early April and complete their nesting by the middle ofJuly,
alteration of habitat throughout the rest of the year can have a detrimental effect on these birds as they
generally return to the same location to nest each year. The exploration and development of oil and gas
leases may have a detrimental effect on mountain plovers and their habitat. Some of me land encompassed
in the lease parcels described in the December 4, 2001, Notice a/CompetitiVe Oil and Gas Lease Sale
contain habitat for the mountain plover and have been designated as such. Most of me parcels have not
been specifically inventoried for the presence or absence of mountain plovers, so reliable information is not
available at this time. TIlls information notice is to alert potential purchasers mat all of the parcels in this
sale are subject to the ESA and may contain habitat for mountain plovers (even if not specifically denoted'
herein). Inventories will be required when potential mountain plover habitat exists within a lease parcel.
If the birds are men found to be present, then additional protective measures most likely will be added to
allow for any disturbing activities. If a lease parcel contains no mountain plover habitat or if the birds are
not present, then the lease parcel may be developed without restrictions for mountain plovers. If at a later
date mountain plovers occupy previously unoccupied habitat within a lease parcel, then additional
protective measures will most likely be added. Please see section 6 of the Lease Terms for additional
information regarding threatened or endangered species.

NOTICE TO LESSEE
Provisions of the Mineral Leasing Act (~A) of1920, as amended by the Federal Coal Leasing
Amendments Act ofl976, affect an entity's qualifications to obtain an oil and gas lease. 'Section 2(a)(2)(A)
of the MLA, 30 D.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
from 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 tenns of this oil and gas lease, with respect to compliance by the initial lessee with
qualifications concerning Federal coal lease holdings, all assignees and transferees are hereby notified that
this oil and gas lease is subject to cancellation if: (1) the initial lessee as assignor or as transferor has falsely
certified compliance with Section 2( a)(2)(A), or (2) because of a denial or disapproval by a State Office
of a pending coal action, i.e., anns-Iength assignment, relinquishment, or logical mining unit, the initial lessee
as assignor or as transferor is no longer in compliance with 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 of this lease due to noncompliance with Section 2(a)(2)(A).
Information regarding assignor, sublessor or transferor compliance with Section 2(a)(2)(A) is contained
in the lease case file as well as in other Bureau of Land Management records available through the State
Office issuing this lease.
