Text: Leasing recommendations for habitat categories in the PPA: "5.

Certain exceptions may be granted on a limited, case-by-case basis when indicated due to presence of existing infrastructure, or as needed for unitization and drainage purposes. Noteâ€"Industry has strong reservations that this rule may not achieve intended benefits."
