Title 43 - Public Lands: Interior
(a) Yes, we may inspect all operations to ensure compliance with the requirements of 43 CFR 3200.4. You must give us access to inspect all facilities utilizing Federal geothermal resources during normal operating hours. The operator or facility operator must keep all records and information pertaining to the operation of your utilization facility, royalty and production meters, and safety training available for BLM inspection for a period of six years from the time the records or information is created. This includes records and information from meters located off your lease or unit, when BLM needs them to determine resource production to a utilization facility or the allocation of resource production to your lease or unit. Store these records in a place which make them conveniently available. (a) We will issue you a written Incident of Noncompliance, directing you to take required corrective action within a specific time period. If the noncompliance continues or is serious in nature, BLM will take one or more of the following actions: (1) Enter the lease, and correct any deficiencies at your expense; (2) Collect all or part of your bond; (3) Order modification or shutdown of your operations; and (4) Take action against a lessee who is ultimately responsible for noncompliance.
