TITLE 30--MINERAL LANDS AND MINING
CHAPTER 23--GEOTHERMAL STEAM AND ASSOCIATED GEOTHERMAL RESOURCES
Sec. 1016. Administration; multiple use of lands and resources;
coexistence of other leases; reciprocal and reasonable
operational interference between geothermal and other leases
Administration of this chapter shall be under the principles of
multiple use of lands and resources, and geothermal leases shall,
insofar as feasible, allow for coexistence of other leases of the same
lands for deposits of minerals under the laws applicable to them, for
the location and production of claims under the mining laws, and for
other uses of the areas covered by them. Operations under such other
leases or for such other uses, however, shall not unreasonably interfere
with or endanger operations under any lease issued pursuant to this
chapter, nor shall operations under leases so issued unreasonably
interfere with or endanger operations under any lease, license, claim,
or permit issued pursuant to the provisions of any other Act.
(Pub. L. 91-581, Sec. 17, Dec. 24, 1970, 84 Stat. 1571.)
