The auctioneer will offer Parcels 09-10-2014-1 through 9-10-2014-3 as a block
(one bid for all parcels). If no one bids on the block, the auctioneer will offer the
parcels individually. Parcels 09-10-2014-4 and 09-10-2014-5 will be offered
individually;
All bids are on a per-acre basis for the entire acreage in the block/parcel;
BLM will reject all bids andre-offer a parcel if we determine that the high
bidder is not qualified, or the high bidder fails to make all of the required
payments;
The names ofhigh bidders (lessees) remain confidential until the results list is
available; and
The decision ofthe auctioneer is final. However, if you believe the auctioneer has
made an error or not acknowledged your bid, you must immediately make your
concerns known to the auctioneer. Once the auctioneer has opened the bidding on
the next available parcel for a geothermal lease, the decisions made on the
previous parcels offered are final.
If a parcel contains fractional acreage, round it up to the next whole acre. For example, if you
bid $2.00 an acre on a parcel of 100.51 acres, the bid is $202 ($2 x 101 acres). After we have
offered all the parcels, you may ask the auctioneer to re-offer any unsold parcels.
What conditions apply to the lease sale?
• Parcel withdrawal or sale cancellation: We reserve the right to withdraw any or all parcels
before the sale begins. If we withdraw a parcel, we will post a notice in the Oregon/Washington
State Office Information Access Center (Public Room) before the day of the sale. We will
announce withdrawn parcels before the sale begins.
• Payment due: You cannot withdraw a bid. Your bid is a legally binding commitment to sign
the bid form, accept the lease, and pay the money due on the day of the sale. You must pay
immediately after the sale the following (1) twenty percent of the bonus bid; (2) the total amount
of the first year's rental ($2 per acre); and (3) the non-refundable $155 competitive lease
processing fee. All payments must be paid by 4:00 p.m. on the day of the sale.
2
Within 15 calendar days (September 25, 2014), you must submit the balance of the bid to the
Oregon/Washington State Office BLM. Do not send payment to the Nevada State Office. If
payment is not received in full by BLM by this date, you lose the right to the lease and you will
forfeit the money you paid on the day of the sale.
• Forms of payment: You must pay by personal check, certified check, money order, credit
card (Discover, Visa, American Express or MasterCard only). Make checks payable to:
Department of the Interior-BLM. We cannot accept cash. If a check you have sent to us in
the past has been returned for insufficient funds, we may ask that you give us a guaranteed
payment, such as a certified check. If you pay by credit card and the transaction is refused, we
will try to notify you early enough so that you can make other payment arrangements. However,
we cannot grant you an extension of time to pay the money that is due the day of the sale.
• Limitations on Credit Cards and Debit Payments: Credit or debit cards cannot be used for
any amount in excess of$49,999.99 for any purpose. We will not accept aggregated small
amounts to bypass this requirement.
• Bid Form: On the day of the sale, if you are a successful bidder you must give us a properly
completed and signed competitive bid form (Form 3000-2, dated July 2012) with your payment.
The bid form can be found at http://www.blm.gov/noc/st/enlbusiness/eForms.html. This form is
a legally binding offer by the prospective lessee to accept a lease and all its terms and conditions.
Once the form is signed, you cannot change it. We will not accept any bid form that has
information crossed out or is otherwise altered.
We recommend you get a copy of the bid form and complete all but the money part prior to the
sale. Your completed bid form certifies that:
(1) You and the prospective lessee are qualified to hold a geothermal lease under our
regulations at 43 CFR 3202; and
(2) Both of you have complied with 18 U.S.C. 1860, a law that prohibits unlawful
combinations, intimidation of and collusion among bidders.
• Lease Issuance: After we receive the bid form and all the money due, we can issue the lease.
A lease is effective the first day of the month following the month in which we sign it.
• Lease Terms: A lease issued as a result ofthis sale will have primary term of 10 years. It will
continue beyond its primary term as long as geothermal energy in paying quantities is produced
on or for the benefit of the lease. The annual rental will be $2 per acre for the first year and $3
per acre for years 2 through 10. Beginning with the eleventh lease year, the rental rate for all
leases increases to $5 per acre. Rentals are due on or before the anniversary date each year until
production begins. Once a lease is producing, you must pay a royalty at 1.7 5 percent for the first
10 years, and 3. 5 percent thereafter.
• Stipulations: Some parcels have special requirements or restrictions, which are called
stipulations. These are included with the parcel descriptions. Stipulations are part of the lease
and supersede any inconsistent provisions of the lease form.
3
How do I nie a noncompetitive offer after the sale?
Lands that do not receive a bid at the competitive lease sale will be available for noncompetitive
leasing for a two-year period beginning the first business day following the sale. Submit two
executed copies of the applicable noncompetitive lease form to the Oregon State Office BLM,
along with the $400 processing fee and advance rental in the amount of $1 per acre, or fraction
thereof. At least one form must have an original signature. We will accept only exact copies of
the form on one 2-sided page.
For 30 days after the competitive geothermal lease sale, noncompetitive applications will be
accepted only for parcels as configured in the Notice of Competitive Geothermal Lease Sale.
Subsequent to the 30-day period, you may file a noncompetitive application for any available
lands covered by the competitive lease sale, not to exceed 5,120 acres per lease.
DO NOT submit your offer to the Nevada State Office after the sale is closed.
All applications for a particular parcel will be considered simultaneously filed if received in the
Oregon/Washington BLM office any time during the first business day following the competitive
lease sale. You may submit only one application per parcel. An application will not be
available for public inspection the day it is filed. BLM will randomly select an application
amoung those accepted on the first business day to receive a lease offer.
Subsequent to the first business day following the competitive lease sale, the first qualified
applicant to submit an application will be offered the lease. IfBLM receives simultaneous
applications as to date and time for overlapping lands, BLM will randomly select one to receive
a lease offer.
May I withdraw my application for a noncompetitive lease?
During the 30-day period after the competitive lease sale, BLM will only accept a withdrawal of
the entire application. Following that 30-day period, you may withdraw your noncompetitive
lease application in whole or in part at any time before BLM issues the lease. If a partial
withdrawal causes your lease application to contain less than the minimum acreage required (640
acres, or all lands available for leasing in the section, whichever is less), BLM will reject the
application.
How can I find out the results of this sale?
We will post the sale results in the Oregon/Washington State Office Information Access Center
(Public Room), and on our website at http://www.blm.gov/or/energy/geothermal/index.ohp. Or, you
can buy ($5) a printed copy of the results list by mail to the address on the letterhead or by
phoning the information access center at 503-808-6008.

May I protest BLM's decision to offer the lands in this Notice for
le~se?
Yes, you may protest the inclusion of a parcel listed in this sale notice. All protests must meet
the following requirements:
• We must receive a protest within 30 calendar days of the posting date of the sale. If our
office is not open on the 30th day after the posting, a protest received on the next day our
office is open to the public will be considered timely filed. The protest must also include
any statement of reasons to support the protest. We will dismiss a late-filed protest or a
protest filed without a statement of reasons.
• A protest must state the interest ofthe protesting party in the matter.
• You may file a protest either by mail in hardcopy form or by telefax. You may not file a
protest by electronic mail. A protest filed by fax must be sent to 503-808-6422. We
will dismiss a protest sent to a fax number other than the fax number identified or a
protest filed by electronic mail.
• A protest must be signed. If the party signing the protest is doing so on behalf of an
association, partnership or corporation, the signing party must reveal the relationship
between them. For example, unless an environmental group authorizes an individual
member of its group to act for it, the individual cannot make a protest in the group's
name.
• A protest must include the name and address of the protesting party.
If BLM receives a timely protest of a parcel advertised on this Sale Notice, how does it
affect bidding on the parcel?
We will announce receipt of any protests at the beginning of the sale. We will also announce a
decision to either withdraw the parcel(s) or proceed with offering it at the sale. If the protest is
resolved prior to the sale, we will provide copies of our decision at the sale.
If I am the high bidder at the sale for a protested parcel, when will BLM issue my lease?
We will make every effort to decide the protest prior to the sale, but no later than 60 days after
the sale. We will not issue a lease for a protested parcel until the State Director makes a decision
on the protest. If the State Director denies the protest, we will issue your lease concurrently with
that decision.
If I am the successful bidder of a protested parcel, may I withdraw my bid and receive a
refund of my first year's rental and bonus bid?
No. In accordance with BLM regulations, you may not withdraw your bid.
If BLM upholds the protest, how does that affect my competitive bid?
If we uphold a protest and withdraw the parcel from leasing, we will reject your bid, and refund
your first year's rental, bonus bid and administrative fee. If the decision upholding the protest
results in additional stipulations, we will offer you an opportunity to accept or reject the lease
5
with the additional stipulations prior to lease issuance. If you do not accept the additional
stipulations, we will reject your bid and we will refund your first year' s rental, bonus bid and
administrative fee.
If BLM's decision to uphold the protest results in additional stipulations, may I appeal that
decision?
Yes, you may. Note, an appeal from the State Director' s decision must meet the requirements of
Title 43 CFR §4.411 and Part 1840.
May I appeal BLM's decision to deny my protest?
Yes, you may. Note, an appeal from the State Director' s decision must meet the requirements of
Title 43 CFR §4.411 and Part 1840.
May I withdraw my bid if the protestor files an appeal?
No. If the protestor appeals our decision to deny the protest, you may not withdraw your bid.
We will issue your lease concurrently with the decision to deny the protest. If resolution of the
appeal results in lease cancellation, we will authorize refund of the bonus bid, rentals and
administrative fee if­
• There is no evidence that the lessee(s) derived any benefit from possession of the lease
during the time they held it, and;
• There is no indication ofbad faith or other reasons not to refund the rental, bonus bid and
administrative fee.

Protection of Geothermal Features
Any leases that contain thermal features (e.g., springs or surface expressions) require monitoring
of the thermal features during any exploration, development, and production of the lease to
ensure that there are no impacts to water quality or quantity.
Endangered Species Act Stipulation
The lease area may now or hereafter contain plants, animals, or their habitats detem1ined to be
threatened, endangered, or other special status species. BLM may recommend modifications to
exploration and development proposals to further its conservation and management objective to
avoid BLM-approved activity that would contribute to a need to list such a species or their
habitat. BLM may require modifications to or disapprove proposed activity that is likely to result
in adverse impacts to the continued existence of a proposed or listed threatened or endangered
species or result in the destruction or adverse modification of a designated or proposed critical
habitat. BLM will not approve any ground-disturbing activity that may affect any such species or
critical habitat until it completes its obligations under applicable requirements of the Endangered
Species Act as amended, 16 USC 1531 et seq., including completion of any required procedure
for conference or consultation.
Cultural Resources Stipulation
This lease may be found to contain historic properties and/or resources protected under the
National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), American Indian Religious Freedom Act, Native
American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, E.O. 13007, or other statutes and executive

proposals to protect such properties, or disapprove any activity that is likely to result in adverse
effects that cannot be successfully avoided, minimized or mitigated.
Roadless Area Stipulation
No new road construction or reconstruction would be allowed in inventoried roadless areas
without the approval of the Secretary of Agriculture. If future legislation or regulations change
the roadless area designation, the restriction would be revised along with any appropriate
environmental review.

LEASE NOTICE: As a reminder, any proposals to explore, develop, or in any other manner
use the lands or resources described herein, are subject to BLM's approval following
environmental review, analysis, and public disclosure required by the National Environn1ental
Policy Act, or any other review, analysis, or consultation undertaken by the Department of the
Interior or the Department of Agriculture under applicable law and regulations. The BLM has
absolute discretion to condition or deny, as appropriate, any proposed exploration or
development operations beyond casual use. No ground-disturbing activity may commence until
BLM approves and issues a specific permit.
