060-23 Wyo. Code R. § 23-5 - Leasing Procedures
(a) Zeolite shall
be available for lease to the first qualified applicant filing an application.
Applications may be filed with the Office during the regular hours of any
business day. The Office shall note the date of filing on all applications.
Applications filed on the same day, whether presented by personal delivery or
received through any mail service, shall be considered as filed
simultaneously.
(b) Each
application must be accompanied by the required filing fee as established by
the Board in Chapter 17 of the Board's rules. The filing fee will not be
refunded on any application. An application under this section must also be
accompanied by a remittance for the advance rental for the first year, at the
rental per acre specified in Section
6 of this chapter.
(c) If two or more applications for the same
interests in zeolite are filed simultaneously, the applications are in
conflict.
(i) An application which is in
conflict as to only a part of the lands applied for, shall be processed as to
the lands not in conflict in the same manner as a separate application for such
lands.
(ii) The priority of
applications which are in conflict as to all or any part of the lands applied
for shall, as to the lands in conflict, be determined by sealed bid between the
applicants in conflict.
(d) When an application is rejected in its
entirety, advance rentals paid by the applicant will be refunded. When rejected
in part, the unused portion of the advance rental payment will be
refunded.
(e) An application for a
zeolite lease may be withdrawn, in whole or in part, at any time prior to
issuance of lease. The advance rental and all fees transmitted with the
application applicable to the portion of the application withdrawn, will be
forfeited for failure to fulfill the obligations of the lease offer. However,
if a withdrawal was for the purpose of removing a conflict, rentals applicable
to the portion withdrawn will be refunded if a lease for the portion withdrawn
is issued to another applicant.
(f)
If the Board determines that any state zeolite lands should be offered for
lease by competitive bidding, it shall enter an order setting a time and place
for the sale, describing each tract to be offered, setting the terms of the
leases to be issued, the terms and conditions of sale, the procedure to be
followed in conducting the sale, and any other necessary information. Notice of
sale shall be given in such form and manner as the Board shall
direct.
