Lance Gaebe, left, commissioner of North Dakota's Department of Trust Land, speaks on Friday, Feb. 3, 2012, during a meeting of the North Dakota Board of University and School Lands in the North Dakota Capitol in Bismarck, N.D., about whether the board should delay leasing oil drilling rights on some state lands that have been deemed environmentally sensitive, while board members Gov. Jack Dalrymple, center, the board's chairman, and Wayne Sanstead, right, the state superintendent of public instruction, listen. Board members agreed to delay auctioning drilling rights on about 3,800 acres of property until the board can agree on a policy for reviewing environmentally valuable lands before they are included in a lease auction of state lands.
