### sec.89 General requirements The proposed development plan must provide for the following— an overview of the activities proposed to be carried out under the proposed geothermal lease during all of its term (the proposed activities ); a description of the proposed activities for each year of the plan period; reasons why the plan is considered appropriate; the following— after geothermal energy has been produced, the purpose for which it will be used and by whom; the characteristics of geothermal resources in the geothermal lease’s area; the extent to which further drilling and artificial fracturing is proposed; the scale and scope of geothermal production, including information about the following— the number of geothermal wells the time of commissioning of the geothermal wells; the expected life of geothermal resources whether geothermal production is to be staged; the part of the area required for full and staged production proposals; how many more geothermal wells need to be drilled; when the area is expected to be free of drilling rigs; the proposed level of investment, and whether the proposed holder has finance or how the proposed holder proposes to obtain finance; the skills, experience and qualifications of staff who comply with the proposed holder’s requirements for carrying out the proposed activities; a risk management plan for the proposed activities that deals with safety and seismicity issues; a plan for decommissioning exploration wells and any plant or facilities used for the proposed activities, including the expected costs of the decommissioning; any other matter prescribed under a regulation. The proposed plan may include any other information relevant to the development plan criteria. A regulation may impose requirements about the form of the development plan. The proposed plan can not be inconsistent with the mandatory conditions for geothermal leases. In this section— plan period start day means the day the plan period starts. year , of the plan period, means— the period starting on the plan period start day and ending on the first anniversary of that day; and each subsequent period of 12 months or less during the plan period, starting on an anniversary of the plan period start day and ending on— the next anniversary of that day; or if the plan period ends before the next anniversary—the day the plan period ends. (sec.89-ssec.1) The proposed development plan must provide for the following— an overview of the activities proposed to be carried out under the proposed geothermal lease during all of its term (the proposed activities ); a description of the proposed activities for each year of the plan period; reasons why the plan is considered appropriate; the following— after geothermal energy has been produced, the purpose for which it will be used and by whom; the characteristics of geothermal resources in the geothermal lease’s area; the extent to which further drilling and artificial fracturing is proposed; the scale and scope of geothermal production, including information about the following— the number of geothermal wells the time of commissioning of the geothermal wells; the expected life of geothermal resources whether geothermal production is to be staged; the part of the area required for full and staged production proposals; how many more geothermal wells need to be drilled; when the area is expected to be free of drilling rigs; the proposed level of investment, and whether the proposed holder has finance or how the proposed holder proposes to obtain finance; the skills, experience and qualifications of staff who comply with the proposed holder’s requirements for carrying out the proposed activities; a risk management plan for the proposed activities that deals with safety and seismicity issues; a plan for decommissioning exploration wells and any plant or facilities used for the proposed activities, including the expected costs of the decommissioning; any other matter prescribed under a regulation.
