From the meeting
The State Land Office said its Cultural Properties Protection Rule took effect on December 1, 2022 and requires lessees to conduct informational reviews and cultural resource surveys before new surface-disturbing activities. The rule includes exceptions for repairs and maintenance of existing improvements and work entirely within pre-existing disturbance. The Cultural Resources Office and leasing divisions manage the rule.
The notice described this as a compliance requirement for oil and gas and mineral leaseholders.
