No surface occupancy within (150 feet (honronta) measurement) of any surface water bodies, riparian areas, wetlands, playas or 100-year fioodplains to protect the integrity of these risources(as indicated by the presence of riparian vegetation and not actual water). Exceptions to this restriction may be considered on a casebybcase basis if the BUy! determines at least one of the following conditions apply: 1) additional development is proposed in an area where current development has shown no adverse impacts, 2) suitable off-site mitigation will be provided if habitat loss is expected, or 3) BLM determines development proposed under any plan of operations ensures adequate protection of the resources. Noxious Weeds During all phases of exploration and development, the lessee shall maintain a noxious weed control program consisting of monitoring and eradication for species listed on the Nevada Designated Noxious Weed List (NRS 555.010). Cultural Resources Controlled Or Limited Surface Use (Avoidance andlor Mitigation Measures To Be Developed). All surface disturbing activities proposed after issuance of the lease are subject to compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Protection Act (NHPA) and it’s implementation through the protocol between the BLM Nevada State Director and the Nevada State Historic Preservation Officer. Native American No Surface Occupancy No surface occupancy within the setting of National Register eligible Traditional Cultural Properties (TCPs) where integrity ofthe setting is critical to their eligibility. For development and production phases, surface occupancy may be limited to a specific distance or precluded at hot springs, pending conclusion of the Native Añicriean consultation process. All development activities proposed under the authority of this lease are subject to thc requirement for Natiye American consultation prior to BLM authorizing the activity. Depending on the nature of the lease developments being proposed and the resources of concerns to tribes potentially effected, Native American consultation and resulting mitigation measures to avoid significant impacts may extend time frames for processing authorizations for development activities, as well as, change in the ways in which developments are implemented. Paleontolopical Resources Where significant palcontological resources are identified, mitigatiii.g measures such as data recovery, restrictions ori development, and dcletion of some areas from development may be required on a case by case basis. Water Resources As eploration and development activities commence, the operator shall institute a hydrologic monitoring program. The details of the monitoring programs will be site specific and the intensity shall be commensuYate with the level of exploration. For example, if the proponent will he conducting seismic studies the monitoring would be limited to the identification of watcr resources to be monitored as activities continue; if a drilling program were to be undertaken the number of aquifers encountered, their properties, their quality, and their saturated thickness would be documented.
08/07/20% 11:55 9177586167i0 RAGE 07117 REtEIVED NSQ &N The iDfonnation collected will be submitted4&EU1Aat Lnb4anagement and Will be used to support future NEPAL documentation as development progresses. Adverse impacts to surface expressions of the geothermal reservoir (hot springs), and Threatened and Endangered Species habitat are not acceptable. The lessee will monitor the quality, quantity, and temperature of any hot springs or other water resource within the project area whenever they are conducting activities which have the potential to impact those resources. IT adverse impacts do occur, BLM will require the lessee to take corrective action to mitigate the impact. Corrective action may include shutting down the operation. These are in addition to the other stipulations. These are LEASE stipulations, not operational, the information gathered under the monitoring stipulation will he used to identify future impacts at the operational stage. Lands & eal No drilling, including exploration or development activities within linear Rights-of-Way. Hazardous Materials Prior to exploration and development, an emergency response plan will developed that include contingencies for hazardous material spills and disposal.
