THIS STIPULATION APPLIES TO ALL PARCELS W 1 56 5 % LEASE NOTICE NO. 1 O88 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 offthe 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/l~ee 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. THIs NOTICE APPLIES TO ALL PARCELS 1 56 5 96 L~A~ NOT~C~ NO. ~ BACKGROUND: 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, 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. 1241-125 I) as amend6d 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 21 ~' Century," signed January 18, 2001, states in Section 1: "Federal agencies wilL.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 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 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 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 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 leasehold. 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 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 this lease notice is a predecisional action, necessary until final decisions regarding surface disturbing restrictions are made. Final decisions regarding surface disturbing restrictions will take place with full 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 ora National Historic Trails' designated eenterline, 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. THIS NOTICE APPLIES TO ALL PARCELS WYW 156 5.96 ' TH/S STIPULATION APPLIES TO AI.L PARCELS 090 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 sent to the Director of FWS in Washington, D.C. for review/approval. The l/sting is very likely in the near future. Mountain plovers migrate to Wyoming to nest each year and are confirmed to nest in every county. Even though they arrive in early April and complete their nesting by the middle of July, 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 the land encompassed in the lease parcels described in the August 6, 2002, Notice of Competitive Oil and Gas Lease Sale contain habitat for the mountain plover and have been designated as such. Most of the parcels have not been specifically inventoried for the presence or absence of mountain plovers, so reliable information is not available at this time. This information notice is to alert potential purchasers that 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 then found to be present, then additional protective measures most likely will be added to allow for any disturbing activities, ff 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, ff 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. 09I WYW156596 TIMING LIMITATION STIPULATIONS - TLS No surface use is allowed during the following time period(s).

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 State Office 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.'
