The legal ramifications of leasing federal lands for geothermal exploration and drilling have presented lawyers with a variety of situations. These include cases where the land has separate titles for surface and mineral rights. The federal government's position supports the right to extract and use steam without the consent of the land owner. The operations of National Forest System (FS) lessees, however, must be compatible with FS goals. Other areas of legal concern are the calculation of royalties for steam leases under the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970, institutional restraints on direct-heat applications, government use of steam on public lands, and inconsistencies in the relationship of noncompetitive leases and acreage limitations. 23 references.
