6875.  If the Legislature has transferred to any city or county the administration of the trust, whether or not limited, under which tide or submerged lands or beds of navigable rivers and lakes are held by the State, the commission, pursuant to this chapter, may enter into agreements upon behalf of the State to compensate any such city or county for the use of surface drilling and operating sites upon such lands from the royalty or revenue to be derived by the State from oil and gas taken from such lands by lessees of the State.Any such compensation shall include an amount sufficient reasonably to compensate any such city or county for any damage to or interference with the use or uses to which the surface of such lands are being or may be utilized by or upon behalf of such city or county. The consideration to the State in any such agreement shall include the right to a lessee of the State to carry on all operations on any such tidelands or beds of navigable rivers and lakes necessary to accomplish the purposes of this chapter and such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the commission to be in the interests of the State.The consideration to the State in any such agreement shall also include a compromise, settlement and release of any and all claims and rights which such city or county has or may have against the State arising out of or in connection with the extraction and removal of oil and gas from such lands. All money paid to any city or county under this section shall be used by it solely in furtherance of the trust under which the administration of tide and submerged lands and beds of navigable rivers and lakes has been transferred to such city or county and for the purposes expressed in the act so transferring administration of such lands.(Amended by Stats. 1963, Ch. 1945.)

Upon receipt of an application for a permit, the commission shall determine whether the lands described therein are known mineral lands. If the commission determines that the lands are known mineral lands, it shall thereupon so classify them and shall reject the application for a prospecting permit.Subject to such terms and conditions as the commission may determine to be in the best interest of the state, a prospecting permit shall give to the permittee the exclusive right for a period not exceeding two years to prospect for minerals other than oil and gas or other hydrocarbon substances upon lands wherein the mineral deposits belong to the state.The commission may, in its discretion, extend the term of any permit for a period not exceeding one year, but the term of any permit, including extensions, shall be limited to a total of three years.(Amended by Stats. 1988, Ch. 649, Sec. 1.)

The area selected by the permittee shall be in compact form and, if surveyed, shall be described by the legal subdivisions of the public lands surveys; if unsurveyed, the area shall be surveyed by the commission at the expense of the applicant for the lease, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by the commission, and the lands leased shall be conformed to, and taken in accordance with, the legal subdivisions of the surveys. The lease shall provide for the payment of an annual rental of not less than one dollar ($1) per acre, as determined by the commission. The lease shall also provide for payment, which may be taken in kind, of either a royalty, to be taken in money or in kind, at the option of the commission, of not less than 10 percent of the gross value of all mineral production from the leased lands, less any charges approved by the commission that were made or incurred with respect to transporting or processing the state’s royalty share of production, or a percentage, to be determined by the commission, of the net profits derived from mineral extraction operations under the lease.
