MULTIPLE MINERAL DEVELOPMENT. Operations will not be approved which, in the opinion of the Authorized Officer, would unreasonably interfere with the orderly development and/or production from a valid existing mineral lease issued prior to this one for the same lands.
MULTIPLE MINERAL DEVELOPMENT. The Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration may designate any lands under its authority as a Multiple Mineral Development Area (MMD). In designated MMDs the Lessor may require in addition to the terms and conditions of this lease such stipulations or restrictions as may be necessary in the determination of the Director to integrate and coordinate the operations of lessees having an interest in the lands in order to conserve natural resource and optimize revenues to the trust-land beneficiaries.
MULTIPLE MINERAL DEVELOPMENT. Operations will not be approved which, in the opinion of the authorized officer, would unreasonably interfere with the orderly development and/or production from a valid existing mineral lease issued prior to this one for the same lands. The BLM realizes that coal mining operations conducted on Federal coal leases issued within producing oil and gas fields may interfere with the economic recovery of oil and gas; just as Federal oil and gas leases issued in a Federal coal lease area may inhibit coal recovery. BLM retains the authority to alter and/or modify the R2P2 for coal operations on those lands covered by Federal mineral leases so as to obtain maximum resource recovery.

Through the permitting process with the Montana Department of State Lands and the Office of Surface Mining, Spring Creek Coal Company has also agreed to provide maps indicating the location and extent of lands designated unsuitable for mining and the location and extent of disturbance within those lands. They have also agreed to a reclamation plan which will restore disturbed lands to their full potential as mule deer winter range. The reclamation plan calls for reestablishment of vegetation communities on the regraded land surface that will provide wildlife habitat values commensurate with premining conditions. All mining and reclamation operations will be closely monitored by the Montana Department of State Lands and the Office of Surface Mining. Spring Creek Coal Company has also agreed to monitor wildlife populations (and especially mule deer populations) on a regular basis to document any adverse effects on those populations due to mining disturbance.
