(d) Lessee shall comply with all valid and applicable laws and <br />regulations of Federal, State, and local governmental authority. <br />(e) The lessee shall grant public access to public land adjacent <br />to the lease by means of existing roads, trails, or ways. If the <br />lessee must destroy or obstruct an existing route, lessee shall <br />provide an alternate route of equal quality. Public lands within <br />the lease area and roads, trails and ways constructed by the <br />lessee shall be made accessible to the public unless such access <br />would interfere with mining operations or create a safety <br />hazard. Limiting access within one-half mile of buildings and <br />work areas should be adequate for this purpose. Any <br />additional limitation must be approved by the BLM. <br />(f) Cultural Resources. (1) Before undertaking any activities <br />that may disturb the surface of the leased lands, lessee shall <br />conduct a cultural resource intensive field inventory in a <br />manner specified by the Authorized Officer (AO) of the BLM <br />or of the surface managing agency, if different, on portions of <br />the mine plan area and adjacent areas, or exploration plan area <br />that may be adversely affected by lease -related activities and <br />which were not previously inventoried at such a level of <br />intensity. The inventory shall be conducted by a qualified <br />professional cultural resource specialist (i.e., archaeologist, <br />historian, or historical architect, as appropriate) approved by <br />the AO of the surface managing agency (BLM if the surface is <br />privately owned), and a report of the inventory and <br />recommendations for protecting any cultural resources <br />identified shall be submitted to the Regional Director of the <br />Office of Surface Mining, the BLM authorized officer, if <br />activities are associated with coal exploration outside an <br />approv&d mining permit area, and the AO of the surface <br />managing agency, if different. Lessee shall undertake <br />measures in accordance with instructions from the AO to <br />protect cultural resources on the leased lands. Lessee shall not <br />commence the surface disturbing activities until permission to <br />proceed is given by the AO. <br />(2) Lessee shall protect all known cultural resource properties <br />within the lease area from lease -related activities until the <br />cultural resource mitigation measures can be implemented as <br />part of an approved mining and reclamation plan or exploration <br />plan. <br />(3) The cost of conducting the inventory, preparing reports, <br />and carrying out mitigation measures shall be borne by lessee. <br />(4) If cultural resources are discovered during operations under <br />this lease, lessee shall immediately bring them to the attention <br />of the AO, or the AO of the surface managing agency, if the <br />AO is not available. Lessee shall not disturb such resources <br />except as may be subsequently authorized by the AO. Within <br />two (2) working days of notification, the AO will evaluate or <br />have evaluated any cultural resources discovered and will <br />determine if any action may be required to protect or preserve <br />5 <br />such discoveries. Cost of data recovery for cultural resources <br />discovered during lease operations shall be borne by the <br />surface managing agency unless otherwise specified by the AO <br />of the BLM or of the surface managing agency, if different. <br />(5) All cultural resources shall remain under the jurisdiction of <br />the United States until ownership is determined under <br />applicable law. <br />(g) Paleontological Resources. (1) Before undertaking any <br />activities that may disturb the surface of the leased lands, <br />lessee shall contact the BLM AO to determine whether lessee <br />will be required to conduct a paleontological appraisal of the <br />mine plan and adjacent areas, or exploration plan areas that <br />may be adversely affected by lease -related activities. If the AO <br />determines that one is necessary, the paleontological appraisal <br />shall be conducted by a qualified paleontologist approved by <br />the AO of the surface managing agency (BLM if the surface is <br />privately owned), and in the manner the AO specifies. <br />(2) Lessee shall submit an appraisal report, including <br />recommendations for protecting any larger and more <br />conspicuous fossils of significant scientific interest identified <br />on the leased lands to the AO of the surface managing agency <br />(BLM if the surface is privately owned). When necessary to <br />protect and collect the larger and more conspicuous fossils of <br />significant scientific interest on the leased lands, the lessee <br />shall undertake the measures provided in the approval of the <br />mining and reclamation plan or exploration plan. <br />(3) Lessee shall not knowingly disturb, alter, destroy or take <br />any larger and more conspicuous fossils of significant <br />scientific interest, and shall protect all such fossils in <br />conformance with the measures included in the approval of the <br />mining and reclamation plan or exploration plan. <br />(4) Lessee shall immediately bring any such fossils that might <br />be altered or destroyed by his operation to the attention of the <br />AO. Operations may continue as long as the fossil specimen(s) <br />would not be seriously damaged or destroyed by the activity. <br />Within five (5) working days of notification, the Regional <br />Director shall evaluate or have evaluated such discoveries and <br />shall notify the lessee what action shall be taken with respect <br />to such discoveries. <br />(5) These conditions apply to all such fossils of significant <br />scientific interest discovered within the leased lands, whether <br />discovered in the overburden, interburden, or coal seam or <br />seams. <br />(6) All fossils of significant scientific interest shall remain <br />under the jurisdiction of the United States until ownership is <br />determined under applicable law. Copies of all paleontological <br />resource data shall be provided to the AO. <br />
