impacts to the land, air, and water, to cultural, biological, visual, and other resources, and to

accomplish the intent of this section. To the extent consistent with lease rights granted, such

of operations, and specification of interim and final reclamation measures. Lessor reserves the
right to continue existing uses and to authorize future uses upon or in the leased lands, including
the approval of easements or rights -of -way. Such uses shall be conditioned so as to prevent
unnecessary or unreasonable interference with rights of lessee.
Prior to disturbing the surface of the leased lands, lessee shall contact lessor to be apprised
of procedures to be followed and modifications or reclamation measures that may be necessary.

to other resources. Lessee may be required to complete minor inventories or short term special
studies under guidelines provided by lessor. If in the conduct of operations, threatened or
endangered species, objects of historic or scientific interest, or substantial unanticipated
environmental effects are observed, lessee shall immediately contact lessor. Lessee shall cease
any operations that would result in the destruction of such species or objects.

substantially different or greater than those associated with normal drilling operations, lessor
reserves the right to deny approval of such operations.
Sec. 8. Extraction of helium Lessor reserves the option of extracting or having extracted helium

substances in paying quantities. This provision shall not be construed to prevent the exercise
by lessor of any other legal and equitable remedy, including waiver of the default. Any such
remedy or waiver shall not prevent later cancellation for the same default occurring at any other
time. Lessee shall be subject to applicable provisions and penalties of FOGRMA (30 U.S.C. 1701).
Sec. 14. Heirs and successors-in-interest--Each obligation of this lease shall extend to and be

LEASE NOTICE NO. 1

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 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 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).
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 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.
