060-3 Wyo. Code R. § 3-4
(a) Width. Easements should be limited to the narrowest possible width. Applicants have the burden of justifying the width requested in the application.
(b) Location. Easement routes that follow section lines or previously established roads, pipelines, or utility corridors are generally preferred. Field reviews and investigations, and communication with the surface lessees, if any, may be conducted by the Office to determine potential alternative locations and access routes that minimize or eliminate impacts to state lands.
(c) Duration. The Board may grant easements in perpetuity or for any term of years. Whenever possible and practical, and consistent with the purpose, easements will be issued for no greater than a thirty-five (35) year term, with an option for the holder of the easement to renew, upon expiration, for specified terms and conditions pursuant to subsection (d) of this section.
(d) Renewal of Easement Grants. Prior to the expiration date of any easement granted for a limited term of years, the Office will, during the last year of the easement, notify the easement holder of the impending expiration and within ninety (90) days of the expiration an application may be submitted for a renewal of the grant. If the renewal involves no change in the location or status of the original easement grant, the applicant may file with the application a certificate under oath setting out this fact, and the Board may thereupon extend the grant for an additional term upon payment of such consideration as the Board determines.
