BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT 

221 N. Service Ho~d 

Moore, Oklahom:t 73 160-'I'H6 

Thi~ document contains the combined Texas Resource Management Plan (RMP) and Record of Dcdsion 

(ROD). The ROD and Plan arc combined lo strc;~mlinc our mandated land-use-planning requirements and 

to provide the rc;tdcr with a useable finished product. 

The ROD records the deci:-;ions of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for administration of Federal 

mineral resources within the Tcxns Planning Area. 

The Texas RMP and appeodicc..o,; provide direction and guidance to BLM Managers in the formulation of 

decisions effecting the management of Federal resources withjn the planning area for the next 20 years. 

The Texas RMP was extracted from the Proposed Texas RMP/Final Environmental Impact Statement. 

The Planning Area encompassc..-; BLM administered split-estate minerals as well us Federal minerals under 

Federal surface administered by other Federal Agencies within the Sta te of Texas. 

The issuance of Ibis ROD and RMP completes the BLM land usc planning process for the State of Texas. 

We now move lo implementation of the plan. We wi~h lo thank all the individual<; and groups who 

participated in lhi1'i effort these past two years, without their help we muld not have completed this 

procc.<;s.

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN 

This plan is for all Federal minerals within 

Texas that are under the jurisdiction of the 

BLM. This RMP was developed with 

guidance provided by the planning criteria, 

public consultation, coordination with other 

agencies and evaluation by BLM. 

The Texas RMP/EIS is not a land use plan for 

private, state or other Federal SMA resources. 

BLM has no surface jurisdiction over 

split-estate Federal minerals administrated by 

the agency, nor docs the BLM have surface 

land use authority concerning Federal SMA 

lands. Under the various Federal mineral 

leasing laws, regulations and programs, the 

Federal SMA must grant consent to mineral 

leasing and subsequent minerals development 

prior to the BLM offering the tract(s) for lease. 

The SMA retains all authority to manage thetr 

programs and surface resources while 

management of the mineral estate is vested 

with the BLM. 

CONTINUING MANAGEMENT 

GUIDANCE CCMG) 

This section describes resource management 

guidance that IS applicable to, and therefore 

constitutes a part of, the RMP. CMG is 

provided by laws, executive orders, 

regulations, Interior Depanmental manuals, 

BLM manuals and BLM instruction 

memoranda. CMG also includes decic;ions 

from preceding land use plans, cooperative 

agreements or memoranda of understanding 

with other state and Federal agencies. 

The BLM resource management pro1::,rrams 

which may be affected by management 

decisions resulting from this RMP and a brief 

description of these resource programs are: 

1) the wtldlife program, which includes 

threatened and endangered (T &E) species 

responsibilities for both plants and animals; 

2) the cultural resources program, which 

involves paleontological, archeological and 

historic resources management responsibilities; 

and 3) the minerals management program, 

which involves aU mineral resources and their 

management. 

Current management of these programs can 

best be described as responsive and custodial. 

Leasing of the mineral estate, specifically for 

oil and gas production, has been in response to 

industry demands. These two situations will 

help the reader understand the program 

descriptions that follow. 

1. WILDLIFE (INCLUDING SSS) 

The function of the BLM's wildJife 

management program in Texas is ro provide 

support for mineral actions. The program 

activities in Texas arc limited to participation 

in team efforts to prepare t:nvironmcntal 

analyses, special status species (SSS, state and 

Federal T&E species and etc.) evaluations, 

wetJand/riparian evaluations and development 

of wildlife resource stipulations and conditions 

of approval (COA). 

Federal minerals under private surface or 

Federal surface managed by another Federal 

agency or licensed by another Federal agency 

to a state or local agency for surface 

managemem purposes are the most common 

situations encountered in BLM's wildlife 

management program in Texas. In these 

situations BLM's wildlife responsibilities in 

Texas do not begin until a BLM mmeral action 

(leasing and/or development) is proposed. 

Wildlife habitats, common wildlife species and 

special status plant and animal species are very 

diverse and numerous in a large state such as 

Texas. Approximately 70 species of plants and 
animals are currently Federally listed as T&E 

in the state. Tbe are many moft species that 

are Federal candidate species ( ru:egory 1 and 

2) and species listed by the at ~ of Texas as 

T&E. Only through close site specific

3. MINE_RALS 

Federal minerals occurring in commercial 

quantities in Texas include oil and gas and coal 

or lignite. Federal lignite leasing in Texas was 

addressed in the Draft and Final Camp Swift 

Lignite Leasing EIS of 1980 and is included as 

CMG. 

At this time the BLM' s fluid minerals 

management program consists of oil and gas 

leasing and the associated development and 

operations oversight. Currently there are 

approximately 350,000 acres of BLM 

administered Federal mineral estate in Texas 

under oil and gas lease. The Fluid Minerals 

Assessment completed by the BLM indicates 

that most of the state is in a moderate oil and 

gas development potential category. 

Procedures for reviewing oil and gas lease 

applications vary depending upon the category 

of surface ownership. Proposals to lease 

split-estate minerals requite the BLM to 

prepare a site-specific EA and assure that 

necessary surface protection stipulations are 

attached to the lease . Procedures for leasing 

on other SMA minerals are similar to 

split-estate procedures except that the SMA is 

contacted for approval to lease and also for 

identification of specific agency surface 

protection stipulations. The BLM is 

responsible for National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEP A) compliance documentation which 

could include preparing a site-specific EA that 

addresses the proposal. 

All Federal oil ami gas leasing and lease 

operations in Texas are conducted following 

procedures established and presented in 

43 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 3100. 

Prior to operations, a site specific 

environmental analysis of the proposed well 

site may result in additional considerations 

before approval of an APD. 

g 

Lease actiVIties in Texas involve on-site 

inspections before approving an APD, drilling 

plan review and lease operations inspection and 

enforcement. Lease operations arc regulated 

by lease terms, regulations and stipulations that 

may be attached to the lease to protect specific 

resource values identified by an EA or EIS. 

Geophysical operations within Texas arc not 

controlled or authorized by the BLM. Each 

SMA and surface owner negotiates and controls 

surface uses which includes access for 

geophysical exploration activities. 

RMfJ ACTIONS 

The RMP is a comprehensive land use pian to 

guide future management of lands and 

resources. The issue addressed in the Texas 

RMP is the leasing and development of Federal 

oil and gas in Texas. The selected RMP is the 

"Proposed RMP" as described in the Proposed 

Texas RMP/Final EIS. 

THE RMP FOR OIL AND GAS LEASING 

AND DEVEl,OPMENT 

Split-Estate Lands 

All new leases and all expired leases that are 

reissued would be leased with surface resource 

protection stipulations. Mandatory stipulations 

would be incorporated into each lease where 

those stipulations apply. In addition, optional 

stipulations will be included where resource 

values exist that warrant special protection. 

SMA Lands 

All new leases and ali expired leases that are 

re,issued would be ieased with stipulations 

currently identified by the SMA. Additional 

stipulations may be applied to these SMA lands 

where the BLM determines additional 
tipu ations may be nee ary o protect 

resource values warranting pro[ecti.on greater 

than pro rided by the MA tipuJati .ns. 

FED ~ RAL OR. A LEASE 

'STIPULATIONS 

A Fed rat oil · nd gas 1 ase is a contract 

between rhe Fede ral government and a 

individua or rp mlion (les.see which allows 

lhe le 'liee to t!Xt:ract , iJ and ga.s frnm the 

'ederal mineral e taL f r .a percentage 

(royalty) of Ill gross value. 

The terms of the ease are cons1 ered 

conlractual bJigations of the le see · nd are 

standardized n all F llentl o,· and gas ease ·. 

The te n and condition of an oil ami gas 

lea ·e provide general pr tection of urf ce and 

su . urface resourc for normaJ peralioru and 

are kn wn as the Standard T~::rms and 

Conditions ( TC). A cupy of th TC of a 

Federal oil and gas lease are pre enle in the 

App n ix. The d raJ go· emmenl a so 

utilizes leasing stipulafons to protc t uni e 

values o ·mp rtan resource when it is felt 

that Lh STC ar not adequate. 

Pr posals to lease Ht-e late minerals require 

the BLM to prepare a site specific A and 

assure that nee ssary rurt'ac .. protection 

s ipu ations are attached to the lease. 

Proc ures for le sing on otht:r SMA mineral 

a.r similar to spli es ate pr cedures except lh t 

the MA is contacted or con nl t Jeasl: and 

also for identif'cati n of specific agency 

surfac protection stipu at· ons. Stipulations to 

a lease involve additi nal r · rictions req ired 

of Lhe les.. ee for onduct of operations on a 

lease. tipul tions are attach d to · ease at 

the time of lease off, r pr viding the potential 

1 · ee the opportunity not to bid on the lease if 

these r stric ions ar~ not agreeab e. 

The Mlneml Lea ing Act for Acquir d Lands, 

30 U . . C. 351, requires that the SMA 

stip 1 attons must be · ncluded on a lease. 

Further, as presented in 43 C R 3101.7-l(a) 

"Acquired lands llall be ll!ased only itb th 

consent of Lh ·urfa:ce m nagement agency , 

wh 'cb upon rt!ceipt o a d cription of th Ian& 

fr m lh authorized offi _ r. shall report to the 

, uthorized offi cer that it consents to e ing 

;~.~ith ·tipuJn.tions, if any, or wit , lds c nsent 

or objects t I asine;." Ad itional. more 

re td ctive tipula~ions can be added by e 

BLM. Specific B M action in regard to SMA 

s up u t i o ns is m and a · ed lb y 

43 CFR 3l01.7-2(a · "Where the rface 

m naging agency has consen ed o leasing with 

stipulat[ons and the Secretary decides to issue 

(a lea the authorized officer shall 

incorporll tt: tbe sti uJa i n · in o any lease 

wbic it nay is e. The authorized officer 

ay add additiorutl stipulations." 

Exceptions to a lease stEpula ion, waiver of a 

lease stipul ti n or mo ification of a lease 

stipuJation are e Jained in the Federal 

regulations at 43 CFR 3101.1-4. Generally, an 

excep•' n, w· iver r modification may b 

approved if Lhe record shows that 

circumstances r pro ected ~·esource values 

have hanged o r i tbe lessee can demonstrate 

that operati ns can be conducted with ut 

causing unac eprable impacts and that less 

r ·trictive stipulations will protec tb public 

intere l. Exceptions, waivers and 

mod:ihcations can omy be grant d by tbe 

Aulboriz d Officer. U e pro s exception, 

waiver or dffication · ' inconsistent w'th the 

land use plan. the plan will be amended or 

chang or the except.i n. waiver o 

mo ification will be disallow . 

Exceptions are considered < n a cas by case 

basis an are . ubj c t . an environmen aJ 

armly ·is. Exception to a leasing lipula i n will 

be granted by be Authorized Officer if th 

9 
reason for the exception is consistent with that 

analysis. No public notice is required for 

exceptions to lease stipulations which conform 

to the plan. Exceptions which do not conform 

to the plan may be granted only upon plan 

amendment and public notification. 

A stipulation waiver is the complete elimination 

of a stipulation from a particular lease contract. 

A stipulation is waived by the Authorized 

Officer after preparation of an EA and a 

decision is made that the stipulation in question 

is no longer required for a particular lease. 

The decision to waive a substantial stipulation 

requires a plan amendment and a 30 day public 

notice period prior to waiver. 

Modifications to a lease stipulation are made if 

and when resource management detem1ines the 

stipulation is no longer effective as written. 

This situation could occur when new 

information, obtained by inventory or 

monitoring, etc. indicates that the protective 

measure is unnecessarily restrictive. 

Modification of a stipulation requires the 

preparation of an EA to detem1ine the potential 

impacts and/or plan amendment or maintenance 

needs. lf the modification is determined to be 

substantial by the Authorized Officer, a 30 day 

public notice period prior to modifying the 

lease stipulation is required. 

Stipulations attached to a lease as a condjtion 

of consent by a SMA are not subject to 

exception, waiver or modification hy the BLM. 

BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT 

STIPULATIONS 

Stipulations utilized within the Tulsa District 

include both mandatory and opbonal 

stipulations. A mandatory stipulation is one 

which addresses protection of a resource which 

the BLM is required by law, regulation or 

10 

policy to protect and which the BLM feels STC 

would not offer sufficient protection. 

Mandatory stipulations include: 

ORA-l, Floodplain Protection Stipulation 

"AU or portions of the lands under this lease 

lie in and or adjacent to a major watercourse 

and are subject to periodic flooding. Surface 

occupancy of these areas will not he allowed 

without the specific approval, in writing, by 

the Bureau of Land Management." 

This stipulation is a result of Executive 

Order (E.O.) 11988, Floodplain Management, 

of May 24, 1977. 

ORA-2, Wetland/Riparian Stipulation 

"All or portions of the lands under this lease 

contain wetland and/or riparian areas. Surface 

occupancy of this tract will not be allowed 

without the specific approval, in writing of the 

Bureau of Land Management. Impacts or 

disturbance to wetlands and riparian habitats 

which occur on this lease, must he avoided or 

mitigated . The mitigation shall he developed 

during the application for permit to drill 

process." 

The wetland/riparian stipulation is mandated by 

E.O. 11990, Protection of Wetlands, of 

May 24, 1977. 

Optional stipulations would be applied to 

protect a resource value or other land use 

which would be potentially impacted by normal 

oil ami gas lease operations. These stipulations 

are optional in the sense that they are not 

mandated by law or regulation. They will he 

used only when the value of the resource 

warrants protection. 
Optional stipulations include: 

ORA-3, Season of Use Stipulation 

"Surface occupancy of this lease will not be 

allowed from date , through date , without 

the specitic approval in writing, from the 

Authorized Otiicer of the Bureau of Land 

Management." 

This stipulation restricts the time period that 

the Jessee can be on the lea. e. This is usually 

only necessary when lhe n:slriction would 

result in more than a 60 day delay in 

commencing operations (by regulation BLM 

can specify up to a 60 day delay as a result of 

the APD analysis). Most season of use 

restrictions involve wildlite seasonal use 

requirements or recreation use cont1icts with 

drilling activities. 

ORA-4, No Surface Occupancy (NSO) 

"Surface occupancy of this lease will not be 

allowed." 

This stipulation prohibits surface usc to protect 

a resource or use that is not compatible with 

oil and gas development. The tract could be 

leased f(>r inclusion io a drilling unit and may 

be drilled directionally from ao off-site location 

where occupancy is allowed. 

NM-8, Coal Protection 

This stipulation requires that any Federal oil 

and gas operator must coordinate development 

with the Federal coal lessee. This stipulation 

is used to protect the value of the Federal coal 

resource. 

NM-9, No Surface Occupancy, Pooling 

Purposes Only 

This stipulation prohibits surface use as well as 

directional drilling into Federal minerals. This 

stipulation is used to protect a resource or use 

that is not compatible with oil and gas 

development. The tract could be leased for 

inclusion in a drilling unit to meet an operators 

spacing requirements. 

LEASE NOTICES (LN) 

A LN provides more detailed information 

concerning limitations that already exist in law, 

lease terms, regulations or· operational orders. 

A LN also addresses special items the lessee 

should consider when planning operations, but 

does not impose new or additional restrictions. 

LN's attached to leases should not be confused 

with Notices to Lessees (NTL). 

I .. N-1, Threatened and Endangered Species 

"According to preliminary information all or 

portions of this lease area could contain 

Federal and/or state listed threatened or 

endangered species and/or their habitats. Any 

proposed surface disturbing activity may 

require an inventory and consultation with the 

FWS and/or the state wjldlife agency. The 

consultation could take up to 180 days to 

complete. Surface occupancy could be 

restricted or not allowed as a result of the 

consultation. Appropriate modifications to the 

imposed restrictions will be made for the 

maintenance and operations of producing oil 

and gas wells.'' 

11 
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL AND 

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR Ofl~ 

AND GAS OPERATIONS ON FEDERAL 

AND INDIAN LEASES (KANSAS. 

OKLAHOMA AND TEXAS) 

Additional BLM requirements to protect a 

resource or value that does not affect the 

lessee's rights or restrict location on the lease 

can be imposed as a COA of the APD or as a 

general requirement for operating a Federal oil 

and gas lease. 

Initially these resource protection measures are 

developed as COAs and then, should they be 

found to be generally applied to all APDs, they 

become part of the list of General 

Requirements for Oil and Gas Operations on 

Federal Leases (Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas). 

Examples of such resource protection measures 

are as follows: 

• II All open pits and tanks being used in 

conjunction with the development and 

production of this lease will be netted or 

otherwise covered no later than four (4) days 

after final drilling depth is achieved and until 

such time as they are removed and/or filled 

and reclaimed. The recommended coverings 

include hard covers or a screen material of 

small enough mesh size so as to prevent the 

entry and death of migratory birds. The U.S. 

FWS, Division of Law Enforcement, has 

prepared materials which provide guidelines for 

covering oil field pits and tanks". 

Note: The granting of four (4) working days 

for completion of covering or netting pits 

and/or tanks in no way limits your 

responsibility should migratory birds be found 

dead in the tanks or pits within the four (4) day 

period or during the actual drilling phase. 

12 

• "Open-vent exhaust stacks on production 

equipment (heater/treater, separator and 

dehydrator units). installed for use with this 

well, will be constructed, modified and/or 

otherwise equipped to prevent birds and hats 

from entering and to the extent practical, to 

discourage perching and nesting. These 

measures must be completed prior to 

production from tltis well passing through such 

equipment. II 

• ''All new overhead electrical lines needed for 

the drilling or production phase of this well 

will be modified to help minimize accidental 

deaths of migratory birds. The poles and the 

wires will be modified to help minimize the 

likelihood of bird electrocutions and collisions. 

Guidelines can be found in a wide variety of 

publications. Two such sources of technical 

information are as follows: 'Suggested 

Practices for Raptor Protection on Power 

Lines: The State of the Art in 1981' and 

'Mitigating Bird Collisions Wil11 Power Lines: 

The State of the Art in 1994'. Also, the power 

company or cooperative that serves your area 

should be able to provide technical advice." 

SURFACE MANAGEMENT AGENCY 

STIPULATIONS 

Federal mineral resources under SMA lands 

within Texas arc subject to each SMA's 

specific leasing stipulations regardless of 

alternative. Copies of the SMAs' oil and gas 

leasing stipulations are contained in the 

Appendix . Generally , these SMA stipulations 

can be divided into three NSO categories; l) 

NSO with no directional drilling allowed 

(NSO/ND), 2) NSO with directional drilling 

allowed (NSO/DD), and 3) NSO described by 

elevation or surface use if suitable non-agency 

lands are included in the same drilling unit 

(NSO/ELEV). The SMAs 
normally base lease stipulations to the surface 

land use or allocation at the particular site or 

installation. 

NSO/ND, No Surface Occupancy and No 

Drilling 

This stipulation, common to the COE and the 

BR, is designed to protect facilities such as 

dams, embankments and other areas from 

damage by oil and gas operations. This 

stipulation prohibits surface occupancy and 

directional drilling by the lessee under 

restricted areas. This stipulation allows the 

identified area to be includc<l in a lease for the 

purpose of becoming a part of a drilling unit so 

that the United States will share in the royalty . 

NSO/DD No Surface Occupancy, Open for 

Directional Drilling 

This stipulation is used by SMAs to protect 

surface resource values and uses from drilling 

activities. This stipulation is applied to public 

use areas, recreation areas, state wildlife and 

waterfowl refuges, historical sites, trails, roads 

and military training areas. Directional drilling 

is permitted from outside the identified areas 

where occupancy is allowed. 

NSO/ELEV No Surface Occupancy based 

on Elevation 

This stipulation is used by the COE in 

combination with, "No drilling on Government 

owned surface where alternative surface 

ownership is available within the same drilling 

unit" to protect the integrity of their reservoirs 

at a specific level based upon lake elevation. 

Normally, this stipulation is subj ect to 

negotiation between the SMA and the lessee at 

the time of operational plan development.

PLAN APPLICATION 

All Federal minerals within the planning area 

have been evaluated using the previously 

described criteria and management guidance. 

The following desL:ription is presented by 

specific location and includes a short 

description of how RMP guidance applies to 

each location. The SMA lands arc grouped 

according to agency jurisdiction, the split-estate 

lands are grouped by county by ecoregion. 

Federal minerals closed to leasing within Texas 

arc listed by SMA in Table 2. 

Reasons for a SMA to withhold consent to 

lease vary from agency to agency however, 

43 CFR 3100.0-3 specifically identifies 

National Park Lands and areas within city 

limits as excluded from leasing. The fact that 

all acquired Federal lands in Texas were 

obtained for a purpose other than mineral 

leasing and that mineral leasing and 

development may not be compatible with the 

reason for acquisition, is sufficient to withhold 

consent. Additionally, it should be pointed out 

that while these areas are closed to leasing, if 

federal mineral estate is being drained by 

adjacent oil and gas activities, the Federal 

mineral estate being drained could be leased 

for inclusion in a unit for royalty purposes.

SPECIFIC SITE DESCRIPTIONS 

The following descriptions of the various SMA 

projects are general and brief. A series of 

corresponding maps of each SMA project 

follows each SMAs section. 

U.S. Army, COE, Tulsa District Projects 

Oil and gas leasing stipulations for the Tuisa 

District COE projects are contained within the 

Districts Special Stipulations 1-A, a copy of 

which is contained in the Appendix. These 

1-A stipulations provide for the protection of 

surface resources through the use of surface 

occupancy restrictions, drilling restrictions or 

consultation requirements with authorized 

surface lessees. Generally, 1-A requires NSO 

or directional drilling within 2,000 feet under 

restricted areas. Restricted areas include the 

major structures such as the dam, spillways, 

embankments, etc. All existing or proposed 

public use areas, recreation areas, wildlife and 

waterfowl refuges, historical sites and hiking or 

horseback trails are designated NSO. The 1-A 

stipulations are standardized and apply to all 

Tulsa District projects.

SPLIT-ESTATE TRACTS 

All Federal land ownership within Texas has 

been acquired through purchase, foreclosure 

and/or donation. 

When these acquired lands are no longer 

needed, the government disposes of these lands 

through transfer to non-Federa! ownership. In 

some cases the government retains ownership 

of the mineral estate under those lands 

disposed. These severed mineral estates arc 

known as split-estate. For oil and gas leasing 

purposes the BLM is the SMA for split-estate 

tracts within Texas. 

Currently, there are approximately 30,000 

acres of split-estate tracts which vary in size 

from css than one acre to severa] thousand 

acres, and are located throughout the state. 

The larger tracts result from military base 

closings where the minerals were retained, 

such as Eagle Mountain Marine Corps Air 

Station north of the City of Fort Worth or 

Ellington AFB in the City of Houston. 

Split-estate acreage figures win increase with 

future military base closing as well as the 

disposal of Federal surface locations within the 

State. 

Spiit-Estate Lease Stipulations 

Due to the fact that the exact location of all 

sp]it-estate minerals within Texas is unknown 

and/or unmapped, the BLM is not able to 

,evaluate this split-estate on a site specific basis 

at this time for the RMP/EIS effort. All 

leasing of split-estate minerals to date within 

Texas has required the development of site 

specific EAs at the time of lease 

application/nomination. The site specific lease 

stipulations are developed at the time of EA 

preparation. 

As .split-estate tracts are nominated for leasing, 

the applicant nominating tlile trac,t will be 

required to provide all necessary maps and 

resource informa,tion needed by the BLM to 

complete a site specific EA/EIS at the time of 

application. Following the completion of !he 

site specific EA or EIS, the BLM will either 

reject the nomination or allow the parcel to be 

placed on a sale list for competitive bid with 

the appropriate leasing stipulations attached. 

No split-esta,te within city limits would be 

available for lease. 

lOl 
PLAN IMPLEMENTATION AND MONITORING 

IMPLEMENTING THE PLAN 

The approved Texas RMP provides the 

framework and guidelines for making specific 

management decisions for the planning area for 

the next 20 years. Implementation of the 

management decisions contained within the 

Texas RMP is considered complete with RMP 

approval. All future resource management 

authorizations and actions, including budget 

proposals, will conform with the approved 

Texas RMP. 

MONITORING TilE PLAN 

Monitoring provides a record of the progress 

made in implementing the RMP. This 

monitoring record contains information for use 

in evaluating the Plans effectiveness and 

usefulness in the management of public 

resources. Plan monitoring will he performed 

hy periodic managerial review to ensure that all 

land-usc management decisions conform to the 

Plan and to the established guidelines. 

On-the-ground actions resulting from 

management. decisions will he monitored hy 

agency personnel to establish how effective the 

management measures arc at minimizing 

environmental impacts. Where such 

management measures are found to he 

ineffective through monitoring, these measures 

will he revised through the RMP amendment 

process. 

102 

CHANGING THE PLAN 

The Plan may he changed, if necessary through 

amendment. Monitoring and evaluation 

findings, new data, and new or revised policies 

will be evaluated to determine if there is a need 

for an amendment. Any change in 

circumstances or conditions which affect the 

scope, terms or conditions of the RMP may 

warrant an amendment. In all cases, a 

proposed action that docs not conform to the 

RMP or was not addressed by the RMP and 

warrants further consideration before an RMP 

rev1s1on 1s scheduled would require an 

amendment. Generally an RMP amendment is 

site specific or involves only one planning 

ISSUe. 

A plan revision, if necessary would involve the 

preparation of a new RMP for the entire 

planning area. 

PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT 

Public opinion, input and involvement has heen 

sought throughout the planning and decision 

making process. Public participation was

preventing damage to any Bureau of Reclamation dams, reservoirs, canals, ditches, laterals, tunf)els, and related 

facilities, and contamination of the water supply therein, the lessee agrees that the following conditions shall 

apply to all e~ploration and developmental activities and other operation of the works thereafter on lands 

covered by this lease: 

1. Prior to commencement of any surface-disturbing work including drilling, access road work, 

and well location construction, a surface use and operations plan will be filed with the appropriate officials. 

A copy of this plan will he furnished to the Area Manager, Ol<lahoma-Texas Area Office, Great Plains Region, 

Bureau of Reclamation, 420 West Main, Suite 630, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73102 for review and consent 

prior to approval of the plan . Such approval will be conditioned on reasonable requirements needed to prevent 

soil erosion, water pollution, and unnecessary damages to the surface vegetation and other resources, including 

cultural resources, of the United States, its lessees, permittees, or licensees, and to provide for the restoration 

of the land surface use and vegetation. The plan shall contain provisions as the Bureau of Reclamation may 

deem necessary to maintain proper management of the water, recreation, lands, structures, and resources, 

including cultural resources, within the prospecting, drilling, or construction area. 

Drilling sites for all wells and associated investigations such as seismograph work shall be 

included in the above-mentioned surface use and operation plan . 

It later explorations require departure from, or additions to the approved plan, these revisions 

or amendments, together with a justification statement for proposed revisions, will be submitted for approval 

to the Area Manager, Oklahoma-Texas Area Office, Bureau of Reclamation, or his authorized representative. 

Any operations conducted in advance of approval of an original, revised, or amended

c. location, design, and timing of construction of 

drilling, collection, and storage facilities (e . g . , 

burial of wellhead and equipment in underground 

bunkers, depth of burial of flow lines); 

d. use and protection of LSAAP water supply (e .g . , 

water quality testing); 

e . protection of the environment (e.g . , hazardous 

waste areas, endangered species, erosion control, 

pollution prevention) and protection of objects of 

historic and scientific significance; 

(. safety and fire protection measures (e.g., use 

of explosives, safe working distances from ammunition 

and explosives, construction and maintenance of 

firebreaks, development of contingency plans in the 

event of danger to persons or property, posting of 

signs) ; 

A-ll

quantity and type of explosive present or autho~ized 

and the proposed use (e.g., above or below ground, 

continuous or temporary presence of personnel). The 

Lessee may obtain pertinent information on this subject 

from the L.SAAP safety office. 

5. Before beginning any approved operations on LSAAP 

the Lessee must consult with third parties authorized 

to use real estate in the leased area and must document 

in any proposals for development the manner in which 

consideration is being given to programs for which 

third parties have contractual rights or 

responsibility. The Lessee may consult the records of 

the District Engineer, Forth Worth, Texas (hereinafter 
"District Engineer") to determine what real estate 

interests have been granted to third parties on LSAAP. 

On request of the BLM, the Commander may seek to 

resolve disputes between the Lessee and third parties 

if they cannot reach agreement. Resolu~i ons will be 

coordinated with contracting off i cers or 

representatives of all parties involved. The Lessee 

shall hold the United States harmless for claims by 

such third parties arising from the Lessee's 

activities, including damage to pasture and cropland 

capabilities. 

6. Merchantable timber cleared from roads, pipeline 

rights o f way, or drill sites will be disposed of in 

accordance with the Commander's instructions. 

7. The Lessee shall bear all costs of the following: 

a. Increased Ar my costs for its projects which are 

incurred by reason of the Lessee's activity on LSAAP. 

Such costs will be paid when demanded on a one time 

basis as a condition of approval of proposed 

operations. 

b. Any Army costs to administer and ensure lease 

compliance not otherwise funded by the Congress. 

c. The Lessee's share of road and bridge 

maintenance costs for use of LSAAP roads and bridges in 

accordance with a maintenance agreement. In 

calculating such costs, the drilling and production 

area, pipeline right-of-way, lengths of roads and 

bridges, and so forth will be considered. Payments 

shall be made in advance as a result of negotiations 

between LSAAP and the Lessee. 

d. Repair or restoration for damage or degradation 

of land or facilities, including that caused by 

subsidence and pollutant spills, resulting from the 

Lessee's activities. Where conditions of urgency exist 

as determined by the Commander and time is of the 

essence, the Lessee shall repair damages or degradation 

in a timely fashion in the manner specified by the 

Commander wi ,thout awaiting confirmation from BLM. The 

Commander shall subsequently confirm oral orders to the 

Lessee in writing with copy furnished BLM and the 

District Engineer. If the Lessee cannot or will not 

immediately comply, the Commander may immediately act, 

and the Lessee shall be liabl e for reimbursement to the 

Army for all damages and costs of such action, 

including administrative costs and any surcharges that 

may be deemed appropriate.

8. The Lessee shall not pollute the air, ground, or 

water (including ground water) or create a public 

nuisance: 

a. Before beginning operations, the Lessee shall 

retain a local agent who may be served notice on these 

matters and who shall notify the Commander immediately 

of spills, or other unexpected threats or hazards to 

the environment. 

b. The Lessee shall hold the United States harmless 

for any claim/ including equitable claims, court or 

legal expenses incurred by the United States, and fines 

or penalties imposed upon the United States which are 

related to unlawful pollution arising from the Lessee's 

use of the property. 

9. 'l'he United States reserves the option to purchase 

up to one- hundred percent (100%) of the natural gas or 

oil refined, at the price defined below, under a 

utility service contract to be negotiated prior to the 

exercise of this right in accordance with present or 

future DOD or Army regulations. Any product purchased 

by the Government shall be for the sole use of Army or 

DOD installation tenants located within a one-hundred 

fifty (150) mile radius of Headquarters/ LSAAp and not 

for resale to the public. The Lessee shall include 

this paragraph in any contract or sale of natural gas 

or oil to other parties. 

a. The Lessee shall, in its sole discretion, 

determine whether oil or gas reserves are present on 

LSAAP in sufficient quantities to permit commercial 

development. After the Lessee has determined and 

declared that commercial production is possible, the 

Government and Lessee will have four (4) months in 

which to negotiate the specific terms of any sale and 

begin delivery of production. Except during 

mobilization or surge periods, the Commander shall have 

the right to change its election under this option, but 

in no case more often than once every twelve (12) 

months. 

b. The price paid to the Lessee by the United States 

shal l be the average of the three lowest publiclyposted or "spot" prices for the delivered, refined 

product as announced monthly by the three largest 

purchasers in Texas Railroad Commission District-6. 

Specific details of the price and actual quantity of 

product shall be negotiated during sales contract 

procedures. The sale price may be adjusted to reflect 
any unusual (unanticipated) capital investment and 

transportation costs incurred by the Lessee. Such 

costs should be negotiated in paragraph 9a. In a l l 

cases, the Lessee shall bear all costs on a 

nonreimbursable basis associated with maintaining the 

well site (including meters) during the producing l ife 

of the wel l and salvaging such facilities when 

production is ended. 

c. The Lessee shall routinely inspect and calibrate 

equipment involved with the exercise of this option 

with (BLM). BLM may require the Lessee at least 

annually to engage an independent party acceptable to 

BLM to test meters for accuracy and to furnish written 

findings to BLM. 

10. Notwithstanding any other stipulation, or 

condition of the lease, the United States and its 

officers, agents, servants and employees ("the released 

parties") shall not be responsible for damages to 

property, injury to persons, or any other cause of 

action ("rel eased actions") which may arise from or be 

incident to this lease or the Lessee's use and 

occupati on of the leased premises. Released actions 

include, without limitations, damages to the Lessee's 

property, injury to the Lessee's person, or other cause 

of action of the Lessee, or such damage, injury or 

other cause of action of the Lessee's officers, agents, 

servant employees, invitees of any of these, or anyone 

else otherwise on or off said premises incident to the 

lease. Released actions include any actions arising 

from flooding of the lease premises. The Lessee shall 

hold harmless and indemnify the released parties for 

released actions which may arise from or be incident to 

this lease or the Lessee's use or occupation of the 

leased premises. 

1 1. The Lessor's rights described in he printed BLM 

lease form include the rights of the y. 

J2. The Secretary of the Army or designee reserves the 

r ight to requi e cessation of operation if a na tional 

emergency a ris es or if the Army needs the leased 

premises for a mission incompatible with leas e 

operations. On approval from higher authority, the 

Commander will give the Lessee written notice or, if 

time permits, request. the BLM to give notice of the 

required ce sation. The Lessee understands the lease 

rights granted by this instrument do no include the 

period of any such cessation and the United States has 

no obligation to compensate the Lessee for damages 

(including contractual losses) resulti ng from the 

A-15 
A-16 

exercise of this stipulation. The Lessee shall include 

this stipulation in contracts with third parties to 

supply oil and gas. This stipulation shall not affect 

the Lessee's right to seek suspension of the lease term 

from the BLM. Whether or not a suspension is granted 

will have no effect on cessation of operations as 

stipulated herein. 

13. If the Commander or the authorized representative 

discovers an imminent danger to safety or security 

which allows no time to consult BLM, that person may 

order such activities stopped immediately. The 

authorized officer of BLM shall review the order and 

determine the need for further remedial action. 

14. If military or explosive contamination is found in 

the operating area, the operator shall immediately stop 

work, leave the area, notify the Commander and not 

return until the Commander advises that it is safe to 

return. 

15. It is in the best interest of LSAAP to determine 

if commercial deposits of oil or gas exist within LSAAP 

boundaries. The Authorized Officer (AO) of the BLM may 

specify rates of development and production pursuant to 

Section 4 of the Lease Terms and the Oil and Gas 

Operations Regulations at 43 CFR 3162.2(c). 

Accordingly, the operator will commence drilling within 

thirty-six (36) months of the effective date of this 

lease on acreage available for occupancy on this lease, 

or within an approved exploratory unit which includes 

this lease. Drilling operations shall be diligently 

prosecuted until a well capable of adequately testing, 

at a minimum, Paluxy, Moorings Port, and the Smackover 

Formations has been drilled. The operator shall not in 

any event be required to drill said well to a depth in 

excess of 8,500 feet. With the approval of the AO, a 

completion to a lesser depth than the Smackover may be 

made. However, not later than twelve (12) months after 

said completion to a lesser depth, the operator shall 

commence drilling a well to test, at a minimum, the 

Formations mentioned above. Additional wells may be 

drilled as deemed necessary by the AO, after 

consultation with the Lessee, based on test results and 

well spacing rules. 

Failure to comply with this stipulation will result in 

an assessment, civil penalty, or lease cancellation 

pursuant to 43 CFR 3162. The Lessee has the option to 

voluntarily cancel the lease in lieu of the assessment 

or civil penalty.
