060-23 Wyo. Code R. §§ 23-13 - Relinquishment
(a) A zeolite lease or any divided interest
therein may be relinquished by the record title holder to the Board in the
following manner:
(i) If no operations have
been conducted under the lease and no surface disturbance or damage has
occurred on the land to be relinquished, the lessee shall file with the Office
a written statement on a form provided by the Office that he wishes to
relinquish the lease or interest. The relinquishment shall become effective on
the date and hour of receipt by the Office or at some later date if
specified.
(ii) If operations have
been conducted under the lease or surface disturbance or damage has occurred on
land proposed to be relinquished, the lessee shall file with the Office a
statement on a form provided by the Office that he wishes to relinquish the
lease or interest. Relinquishment shall not become effective until the land
shall have been placed in acceptable condition and the Department of
Environmental Quality or such other agency as may have jurisdiction has
certified that the lands have been adequately reclaimed or restored before the
relinquishment is effective.
(iii)
Once a relinquishment on state lands becomes effective, the lease may not be
reinstated. The lands shall be made available for lease as provided in Section
5 of this chapter.
