                   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.)
