060-23 Wyo. Code R. §§ 23-3 - General Provisions
(a) The Board may,
without prior notice, withdraw specific lands from leasing for zeolite when it
appears reasonably necessary to protect the economic or environmental interests
of the beneficiaries. Any party desiring to lease lands for zeolite which have
been withdrawn may request that a withdrawal be rescinded in whole or in
part.
(b) The Board may condition
the issuance of any zeolite lease upon specific stipulations for the protection
of the public, the environment, the waters of the state, historical,
archeological or pale-ontological materials, the wildlife resources, or any of
the subsurface or surface resources of the state.
(c) The Board may deny a zeolite lease to any
person or legal entity which has failed to comply with any rules of the Board
or any terms and conditions of any lease or other agreement with the
Board.
(d) The Board may refuse to
issue a zeolite lease or approve an assignment of an interest in an existing
zeolite lease if issuing the lease or approving the assignment will diminish
the interest of the beneficiaries.
(e) On lands in which the state owns less
than the entire interest in the zeolite estate, a lease will be issued by the
Board covering the state's interest independent of the other
co-owners.
(f) An application may
be filed for a lease on lands not shown by the records of the Office to be
owned by the state. The applicant must submit evidence through the Office to
the Wyoming Attorney General showing that it is probable that the lands applied
for, or any interest therein, have escheated to the State of Wyoming. Such
applicant shall coordinate with and pay for all costs for the Office and the
Attorney General pursuant to the filing of a petition under
W.S.
9-5-203 seeking title for the state. After
receiving a court order vesting title in the state, the applicant shall have
the right to lease the escheated lands under the Board's current form of lease
without bidding thereon at auction. If the lands are not found to have
escheated to the state, applicant will not be entitled to any lease or cost
reimbursement.
(g) Discovery of
historical, archaeological, or paleontological deposits on state lands during
the course of development shall be reported to the Office by the lessee prior
to further disturbance, and operations may only re-commence as authorized by
the Director. The Director shall notify the lessee regarding mitigation within
five (5) working days after receiving the report.
