Sec.  3809.10  How does BLM classify operations?



    BLM classifies operations as--

    (a) Casual use, for which an operator need not notify BLM. (You must 

reclaim any casual-use disturbance that you create. If your operations 

do not qualify as casual use, you must submit a notice or plan of 

operations, whichever is applicable. See Sec.  Sec.  3809.11 and 

3809.21.);

    (b) Notice-level operations, for which an operator must submit a 

notice (except for certain suction-dredging operations covered by Sec.  

3809.31(b)); and

    (c) Plan-level operations, for which an operator must submit a plan 

of operations and obtain BLM's approval.
