| Annotation: |
The Roan Plateau Record of Decision documents the BLM's decisions for management of the Roan Plateau Planning Area in western Colorado. Appendix F of the ROD lists stipulations and standards for implementation of the stipulations for Colorado’s Roan Plateau region in order to minimize adverse environmental impacts. |
Required vs.
Recommended: |
Required -- "Section 6 of the lease document terms (used in the Roan Plateau area] restricts the lease rights granted by requiring that the lessee conduct operations in a manner that minimizes adverse environmental impacts and takes reasonable measures deemed necessary by the lessor (BLM) to accomplish this intent. These prudent measures are applied through a Condition of Approval (COA) during the permit process for oil and gas development. The BLM applies stipulations to an oil and gas lease if additional restrictions on the rights of lessees are required to protect environmental resources. Stipulations that would be applied to new oil and gas leases under the RMPA are listed and described in Section 6.2.6 of this Record of Decision (ROD) and described in Table F-1. Areas included within the various stipulations under this RMPA are shown on Figures F-1 through F-30. The BLM policies allow for the granting of exceptions, modifications, and waivers to stipulations on oil and gas leases. . . " |

They do not apply to surface or subsurface mineral estate over which the BLM has no jurisdiction.†ROD-1 |
