01. Cause. Except as otherwise provided in these rules, the Director may terminate the Lease for an y substantial violation of the Lease ninety (90) days after notice of the violation has been given to Lessee by persona l service or certified mail, in which case notice is deemed served upon mailing, unless: (7-1-25) a. The violation has been corrected; or (3-18-22) b. The violation is one that cannot be corrected within the notice period and the Lessee has in goo d faith commenced correcting the violation, within the notice period, and diligently proceeds to complete correctiv e action, within the time period set by the Director. (7-1-25) 02. Surrender After Termination. Upon the expiration or termination of the Lease, the Lessee will quietly and peaceably surrender possession of the premises to the state. Such surrender does not relieve the Lessee of liabilities that may have accrued in connection with the Lease prior to the surrendering. (7-1-25) 03. Other Wells. Default by the Lessee in performing any of the Lease’s conditions or provision s concerning well(s) on any Legal Subdivision of the leasehold do not affect the right of the Lessee to continue the possession or operation of any other well(s), that are situated upon any other Legal Subdivision of the leasehold . Where such a default involving one (1) or more well(s) results in cancellation, and the Lessee has other wells on th e Lease, which are not in default, such cancellation will result in the division of the defaulting acreage from the Leas e and resultant reduction in the size of the Lease held by the Lessee. (7-1-25) 04. Equipment Removal. Upon the expiration of the Lease, its termination, or surrender the Lessee must, remove from the premises all materials, tools, appliances, machinery, structures. The Lessee must do so withi n ninety (90) days or within the extension that may be granted because of adverse climatic conditions
