stipulation No. 1. (To apply to all leases resulting from this 

 lease sale. ) 



(a) If the Supervisor, having reason to believe that a site, 

 structure, or object of historical or archaeological 

 significance, hereinafter referred to as "cultural 

 resource", may exist in the lease area, shall, within 

 one year from the effective date of this lease, give the 

 lessee written notice that the lessor is invoking the 

 provisions of this stipulation, the lessee shall 

 immediately upon receipt of such notice comply with the 

 following requirements: 



Prior to any drilling activity or the construction or 

 placement of any structure for exploration or development 

 on the lease, including, but not limited to, well drill- 

 ing and pipeline and platform placement, hereinafter 

 referred to as "operation", the lessee shall conduct 

 geophysical surveys to determine the potential existence 

 of any cultural resource that may be affected by such 

 operation. All data produced by such geophysical 

 surveys shall be examined by a qualified marine archaeolo- 

 gist or archaeological surveyor to determine if anomalies 

 are present which suggest the existence of a cultural 

 resource that may be adversely affected by any lease 

 operation. If such anomalies exist, the lessee shall: 

 (1) locate the site of such operation so as not to 

 adversely affect the anomaly identified; or (2) 

 establish, to the satisfaction of the Supervisor, on the 

 basis of further archaeological investigation conducted 

 by a qualified marine archaeological surveyor using such 

 survey equipment and techniques as deemed necessary by 

 said archaeological surveyor with the concurrence of the 

 Supervisor, either that such operation will not adversely 

 affect the anomaly identified or that the potential 

 cultural resource suggested by the occurrence of the 

 anomaly does not exist. 



Upon completion of any geophysical or other survey conducted 

 for archaeological purposes, the lessee shall forward a 

 report prepared by the marine archaeologist or 

 archaeological surveyor to the Supervisor for his review. 

 Should the Supervisor determine that the existence of a 

 cultural resource which may be adversely affected by 

 such operation is sufficiently established- tcrwarrant 

 protection, the lessee shall take no action that may 

 result in an adverse effect on such cultural resource 

 until the Supervisor has given directions as to its 

 disposition.* 



♦Cultural resources will be handled according to procedures outlined in 

 36 CFR, Part 800 ( Federal Register . January 25, 1974).
