| Title: |
Mineral lease blocking |
| Text: |
"If possible, lump or block mineral leases together when they are up for bid (sale) if located in areas that have important wildlife habitat. Blocking together individual leases (numerous sections of land together) during sale periods will alleviate intermingled lease-holders, varying renewal dates, and complicated mineral development planning. Large continuous tracts of land in which one company controls the mineral leases provides better opportunities for proactive development planning, such as phased or clustered development. In many cases, phased development may reduce the potential impacts to wildlife, especially during full field development." |
