NOTICE TO LESSEE
000449
Provisions of the Mineral Leasing Act (MLA) of 1920, as amended by the Federal
Coal Leasing Amendments Act of 1976, affect an entity's qualifications to
obtain an oil and gas lease. Section 2(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 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 terms 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 S of a
pending coal action, i.e., arms— length 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.

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 final
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 and /or
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 tai'Otott.
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).
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 will 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 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 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).
