Surface Structure Layout and Orientation. If the Lessee’s lease area abuts a neighboring BOEM lease area, in its COP project design, the Lessee must endeavor to design a structure layout that contains two common lines of orientation across the adjacent leases (as described in Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular 01-19). If the Lessee and the neighboring BOEM lessee cannot agree on such a structure layout, the Lessee must incorporate a 1 nautical mile setback from the boundary of the neighboring lease, within which the Lessee must not construct any surface structures. Rent will be collected on all areas assigned to the lessee, as outlined in Addendum A, regardless of potential restrictions.
Surface Structure Layout and Orientation. Where one lease abuts a neighboring BOEM lease area, each lessee must endeavor to implement a layout of surface structures that facilitates full enjoyment of the lease and allows for a structure layout that contains two common lines of orientation across the adjacent leases (as described in Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular 01-19). Where such a design cannot be agreed upon among adjacent lessees, each lessee will be required to incorporate a 1-nmi setback from the boundary with the neighboring lease where no surface structures will be permitted.
Surface Structure Layout and Orientation. In the PSN, XXXX solicited comments on proposed transit corridors. The USCG has informed BOEM that the term “transit corridor” is not defined or recognized in law, regulation, or international convention. As such, the use of the term will likely add confusion. BOEM will not use the term in this sale or future lease sales or other actions. The final lease area delineations do not include a buffer of non-leased area between the two lease boundaries. However, where each lease abuts the neighboring lease area, each lessee must endeavor to implement a layout of surface structures that facilitates activities on the lease and allows for a structure layout that contains two common lines of orientation across the adjacent leases (as described in Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular 01-19). Where such a design cannot be agreed upon among adjacent lessees, each lessee will be required to incorporate a 1-nmi setback from the boundary of the neighboring lease where no surface structures will be permitted.
