**CONTROLLED SURFACE USE STIPULATION**

Surface occupancy or use is subject to the following special operating
constraints.

Prior to surface disturbance on slopes over 30 percent, an
engineering/reclamation plan must be approved by the authorized officer.
Such plan must demonstrate how the following will be accomplished:

> \- Site productivity will be restored.
>
> \- Surface runoff will be adequately controlled.
>
> \- Off-site areas will be protected from accelerated erosion, such as
> rilling, gullying, piping, and mass wasting.
>
> \- Water quality and quantity will be in conformance with state and
> federal water quality laws.
>
> \- Surface-disturbing activities will not be conducted during extended
> wet periods.
>
> \- Construction will not be allowed when soils are frozen.

On the lands described below:

For the purpose of:

To maintain soil productivity, provide necessary protection to prevent
excessive soil erosion on steep slopes, and to avoid areas subject to
slope failure, mass wasting, piping, or having excessive reclamation
problems.

Any changes to this stipulation will be made in accordance with the land
use plan and/or the regulatory provisions for such changes.

Surface occupancy or use is subject to the following special operating
constraints.

A field inspection will be conducted for special status plant species by
the lessee prior to any surface disturbance. A list of special status
plant species and any known populations or suitable habitat will be
provided after the issuance of the lease. Plant species on the list are
subject to change over time as new information becomes available. Plant
inventories must be conducted at the time of year when the target
species are actively growing and flowering. An acceptable report must be
provided to the BLM documenting the presence or absence of special
status plants in the area proposed for surface disturbing activities.
The findings of this report may result in restrictions to the operator's
plans or may preclude use and occupancy.

Land Use Authorizations incorporate specific surface land uses allowed
on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) administered lands by authorized
officers and those surface uses acquired by BLM on lands administered by
other entities. These BLM authorizations include rights-of-way, leases,
permits, conservation easements, and Recreation and Public Purpose
leases and patents.

The rights acquired, reserved, or withdrawn by BLM for specified
purposes include non-oil and gas leases, conservation easements,
archeological easements, road easements, fence easements, and
administrative site withdrawals. The existence of such land use
authorizations shall not preclude the leasing of the oil and gas. The
locations of land use authorizations are noted on the oil and gas plats
and in LR2000. The plats are a visual source noting location; LR2000
provides location by legal description through the Geographic Cross
Reference program.

The specifically authorized acreage for land use should be avoided by
oil and gas exploration and development activities. All authorized
surface land uses are valid claims to prior existing rights unless the
authorization states otherwise.

The right of the Secretary to issue future land use authorizations on an
oil and gas lease is reserved by provision of Section 29 of the Mineral
Leasing Act, 30 U.S.C.

**CULTURAL RESOURCES**

An inventory of the lease lands may be required prior to surface
disturbance to determine if cultural resources are present and to
identify needed mitigation measures. Prior to undertaking any surface
disturbing activities on the lands covered by this lease, the lessee or
operator shall:

1.  Contact the Surface Management Agency (SMA) to determine if a
    cultural resource inventory is required. If an inventory is
    required, then;

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
1.  The SMA will complete the required inventory; or the lessee or
    operator, at their option, may engage the services of a cultural
    resource consultant acceptable to the SMA to conduct a cultural
    resource inventory of the area of proposed surface disturbance. The
    operator may elect to inventory an area larger than the standard
    ten-acre minimum to cover possible site relocation which may result
    from environmental or other considerations. An acceptable inventory
    report is to be submitted to the SMA for review and approval no
    later than that time when an otherwise complete application for
    approval of drilling or subsequent surface disturbing operation is
    submitted.

2.  Implement mitigation measures required by the SMA. Mitigation may
    include the relocation of proposed lease related activities or other
    protective measure such as data recovery and extensive recordation.
    The lessee or operator shall immediately bring to the attention of
    the SMA any cultural resources or any other objects of scientific
    interest discovered as a result of approved operations under this
    lease, and shall leave such discoveries intact and undisturbed until
    directed to proceed by the SMA.

Authorities: Compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act is required for all actions which may affect cultural
properties eligible to the National Register of Historic Places. Section
6 of the Oil and Gas Lease Terms (Form 3100-11) requires that operations
be conducted in a manner that minimizes adverse impacts to cultural and
other resources.

**PALEONTOLOGICAL RESOURCES**

The lessee or operator shall immediately bring to the attention of the
SMA any paleontological resources or any other objects of scientific
interest discovered as a result of approved operations under this lease,
and shall leave such discoveries intact and undisturbed until directed
to proceed by the SMA.

**OIL AND GAS LEASE STIPULATIONS**

**ESTHETICS\--**To maintain esthetic values, all surface-disturbing
activities, semipermanent and permanent facilities may require special
design including location, painting and camouflage to blend with the
natural surroundings and meet the intent of the visual quality
objectives of the Federal Surface Managing Agency (SMA).

**EROSION CONTROL**\--Surface-disturbing activities may be prohibited
during muddy and/or wet soil periods.

**CONTROLLED OR LIMITED SURFACE USE STIPULATION** \--This stipulation
may be modified, consistent with land use documents, when specifically
approved in writing by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) with
concurrence of the SMA. Distances and/or time periods may be made less
restrictive depending on the actual onground conditions. The prospective
lessee should contact the SMA for more specific locations and
information regarding the restrictive nature of this stipulation.

The lessee/operator is given notice that the lands within this lease may
include special areas and that such areas 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**,
excluded. Use or occupancy will be restricted only when the BLM and/or
the SMA demonstrates the restriction necessary for the protection of
such special areas and existing or planned uses. Appropriate
modifications to imposed restrictions will be made for the maintenance
and operations of producing oil and gas wells.

After the SMA has been advised of specific proposed surface use or
occupancy on the leased lands, and on request of the lessee/operator,
the Agency will furnish further data on any special areas which may
include:

> 100 feet from the edge of the rights-of-way from highways, designated
> county roads and appropriate federally-owned or controlled roads and
> recreation trails.
>
> 500 feet, or when necessary, within the 25-year flood plain from
> reservoirs, lakes, and ponds and intermittent, ephemeral or small
> perennial streams: 1,000 feet, or when necessary, within the 100-year
> flood plain from larger perennial streams, rivers, and domestic water

**NOTICE**

**APPLICATIONS FOR PERMIT TO DRILL (APDs)**\--The appropriate BLM field
offices are responsible for the receipt, processing, and approval of
APDs. The APDs are to be submitted by oil and gas operators pursuant to
the requirements found in Onshore Oil and Gas Order No. 1 \-- Approval
of Operations on Onshore Federal and Indian Oil and Gas Leases (Circular
No. 2538). Additional requirements for the conduct of oil and gas
operations can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations Title 43,
Part 3160. Copies of Onshore Oil and Gas Order No. 1, and pertinent
regulations, can be obtained from the BLM field offices in which the
operations are proposed. Early coordination with these offices on
proposals is encouraged.

**CULTURAL AND PALEONTOLOGICAL RESOURCES**\--The SMA is responsible for
assuring that the leased lands are examined to determine if cultural
resources are present and to specify mitigation measures. Prior to
undertaking any surface-disturbing activities on the lands covered by
this lease, the lessee or operator, unless notified to the contrary by
the SMA, shall:

1\. Contact the appropriate SMA to determine if a site-specific cultural
resource inventory is required. If an inventory is required, then:

2\. Engage the services of a cultural resource specialist acceptable to
the SMA to conduct a cultural resource inventory of the area of proposed
surface disturbance. The operator may elect to inventory an area larger
than the area of proposed disturbance to cover possible site relocation
which may result from environmental or other considerations. An
acceptable inventory report is to be submitted to the SMA for review and
approval no later than that time when an otherwise complete application
for approval of drilling or subsequent surface-disturbing operation is
submitted.

3\. Implement mitigation measures required by the SMA. Mitigation may
include the relocation of proposed lease-related activities or other
protective measures such as testing salvage and recordation. Where
impacts to cultural resources cannot be mitigated to the satisfaction of
the SMA, surface occupancy on that area must be prohibited.

The operator shall immediately bring to the attention of the SMA any
cultural or paleontological resources discovered as a result of approved
operations under this lease, and not disturb such discoveries until
directed to proceed by the SMA.

**ENDANGERED OR THREATENED SPECIES**\--The SMA is responsible for
assuring that the leased land is examined prior to undertaking any
surface-disturbing activities to determine effects upon any plant or
animal species, listed or proposed for listing as endangered or
threatened, or their habitats. The findings of this examination may
result in some restrictions to the operator\'s plans or even disallow
use and occupancy that would be in violation of the Endangered Species
Act of 1973 by detrimentally affecting endangered or threatened species
or their habitats.

The lessee/operator may, unless notified by the authorized officer of
the SMA that the examination is not necessary, conduct the examination
on the leased lands at his discretion and cost. This examination must be
done by or under the supervision of a qualified resources specialist
approved by the SMA. An acceptable report must be provided to the SMA
identifying the anticipated effects of a proposed action on endangered
or threatened species or their habitats.

**Endangered Species Act Section 7 Consultation Stipulation**

The lease area may now or hereafter contain plants, animals, or their
habitats determined to be threatened, endangered, or other special
status species. BLM may recommend modifications to exploration and
development proposals to further its conservation and management
objective to avoid BLM-approved activity that will contribute to a need
to list such a species or their habitat. BLM may require modifications
to or disapprove proposed activity that is likely to result in jeopardy
to the continued existence of a proposed or listed threatened or
endangered species or result in the destruction or adverse modification
of a designated or proposed critical habitat. BLM will not approve any
ground-disturbing activity that may affect any such species or critical
habitat until it completes its obligations under applicable requirements
of the Endangered Species Act as amended, 16 U.S.C. § 1531 [et
seq]{.underline}., including completion of any required procedure for
conference or consultation.

BUREAU OF RECLAMATION

The lessee agrees to maintain, if required by the lessor during the
period of this lease, including any extension thereof, an additional
bond with qualified sureties in such sum as the lessor, if it considers
that the bond required under Section 2(a) is insufficient, may at any
time require:

\(a\) to pay for damages sustained by any reclamation homestead entryman
to his crops or improvements caused by drilling or other operations of
the lessee, such damages to include the reimbursement of the entryman by
the lessee, when he uses or occupies the land of any homestead entryman,
for all construction and operation and maintenance charges becoming due
during such use or occupation upon any portion of the land so used and
occupied;

\(b\) to pay any damage caused to any reclamation project or water
supply thereof by the lessee\'s failure to comply fully with the
requirements of this lease; and

\(c\) to recompense any nonmineral applicant, entryman, purchaser under
the Act of May 16, 1930 (46 Stat. 367), or patentee for all damages to
crops or to tangible improvements caused by drilling or other
prospecting operation, where any of the lands covered by this lease are
embraced in any nonmineral application, entry, or patent under rights
initiated prior to the date of this lease, with a reservation of the oil
deposits, to the United States pursuant to the Act of July 17, 1914 (38
Stat. 509).

As to any lands covered by this lease within the area of any Government
reclamation project, or in proximity thereto, the lessee shall take such
precautions as required by the irrigation under such project or to the
water supply thereof; *provided* that drilling is prohibited on any
constructed works or right-of-way of the Bureau of Reclamation, and
*provided, further,* that there is reserved to the lessor, its
successors and assigns, the superior and prior right at all times to
construct, operate, and maintain dams, dikes, reservoirs, canals,
wasteways, laterals, ditches, telephone and telegraph lines, electric
transmission lines, roadways, appurtenant irrigation structures, and
reclamation works, in which construction, operation, and maintenance,
the lessor, its successors and assigns, shall have the right to use any
or all of the lands herein described without making compensation
therefor, and shall not be responsible for any damage from the presence
of water thereon or on account of ordinary, extraordinary, unexpected ,
or unprecedented floods. That nothing shall be done under this lease to
increase the cost of, or interfere in any manner with, the construction,
operation, and maintenance of such works. It is agreed by the lessee
that, if the construction of any or all of said dams, dikes, reservoirs,
canals, wasteways, laterals, ditches, telephone or telegraph lines,
electric transmission lines, roadways, appurtenant irrigation structures
or reclamation works across, over, or upon said lands should be made
more expensive by reason of the existence of the improvements and
workings of the lessee thereon, said additional expense is to be
estimated by the Secretary of the Interior, whose estimate is to be
final and

binding upon the parties hereto, and that within thirty (30) days

after demand is made upon the lessee for payment of any such sums, the
lessee will make payment thereof to the United States, or its
successors, constructing such dams, dikes, reservoirs, canals,
wasteways, laterals, ditches, telephone and telegraph lines, electric
transmission lines, roadways, appurtenant irrigation structures, or
reclamation works, across, over, or upon said lands; *provided,
however,* that subject to advance written approval by the United States,
the location and course of any improvements or works and appurtenances
may be changed by the lessee; *provided , further,* that the
reservations, agreements, and conditions contained in the within lease
shall be and remain applicable notwithstanding any change in the
location or course of said improvements or works of lessee. The lessee
further agrees that the United States, its officers, agents, and
employees, and its successors and assigns shall not be held liable for
any damage to the improvements or workings of the lessee resulting from
the construction, operation, and maintenance of any of the works
hereinabove enumerated. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as
in any manner limiting other reservations in favor of the United States
contained in this lease.

THE LESSEE FURTHER AGREES That there is reserved to the lessor, its
successors and assigns, the prior right to use any of the lands herein
leased, to construct, operate, and maintain dams, dikes, reservoirs,
canals, wasteways, laterals, ditches, telephone and telegraph lines,
electric transmission lines, roadways, or appurtenant irrigation
structures, and also the right to remove construction materials
therefrom, without any payment made by the lessor or its successors for

The lease area may contain threatened and endangered species or habitat
necessary for the continued existence of threatened, proposed, candidate
or endangered species which are protected by the 1973 Endangered Species
Act, as amended (16 USC 1531 et seq.) and implementing regulations (50
CFR 402 et seq.). The lease area may also contain habitat or species,
which may require protective measures to prevent them from being listed
as threatened or endangered; or result in a loss of viability or
biological diversity (36 CFR 219.19 or 219.26). A biological evaluation
of the leased lands may be required prior to surface disturbance to
determine if endangered, threatened, proposed, candidate or sensitive
plant or animal species or their habitat are present and to identify
needed mitigation measures. Prior to under taking any surface-disturbing
activities on the lands covered by this lease, the lessee or operator
shall:

1\. Contact the Forest Service to determine if a biological evaluation
is required. The Forest Service is responsible for ensuring that the
leased land is examined through a biological evaluation, prior to
undertaking any surface-disturbing activities, to determine effects upon
any plant or animal species listed or proposed for listing as
threatened, endangered, or a sensitive species~~.~~

2\. The lessee or operator may choose to conduct the evaluation on the
leased lands at their discretion and cost. This biological evaluation
must be done by or under the supervision of a qualified
biologist/botanist approved by the Forest Service. An acceptable report
must be provided to the Forest Service identifying the anticipated
effects of a proposed action on endangered, threatened, proposed,
candidate or sensitive species. An acceptable biological evaluation is
to be submitted to the Forest Service for review and approval no later
than that time when an otherwise complete application for permit to
drill or subsequent surface-disturbing operation is submitted.

3\. Implement mitigation measures required by the Forest Service.
Mitigation may include the relocation of proposed lease-related
activities or other protective measures. The findings of the biological
