(a) Lessees of state land shall have the right to construct or make improvements upon the land in an amount not to exceed $2,000.00 per section for each separate improvement, without first obtaining permission.
(b) Lessees shall request permission, on a form provided by the Office, prior to construction of any improvement valued in excess of $2,000.00 per section for each separate improvement.
(c) The Director shall have authority to grant permission to construct improvements in excess of $2,000.00 per section for each separate improvement for fencing, water development, livestock handling facilities and range enhancements. However, any improvement, regardless of value, which will restrict existing public access or alter existing authorized use(s) of the lands must be approved by the Board.
(d) Any other improvement in excess of $2,000.00 per section for each separate improvement shall be applied for under a special use lease in accordance with Wyoming Statute 36-5-114 and Chapter 5 of Board rules.
(e) Any applicant applying to lease state lands upon which there are improvements of any kind belonging to another shall, before receiving the lease, pay to the Director for the use and benefit of the owner or maker of any improvements at the time of the execution of the lease, the contributory value of improvements or the owner of the improvements shall have the right to remove the improvements in a manner which minimizes injury to the land; provided, that the improvements be removed within a period of one hundred twenty (120) days from the expiration of the lease or final Board decision in a related contested case proceeding. Should the owner of the improvements elect to remove the improvements, the owner must notify the Director in writing within thirty (30) days from the expiration of the lease or final Board decision in a related contested case proceeding. For the purposes of this section "contributory value" means the increased value of the property after the lessee's improvements are considered.
