Each bid shall be accompanied by information giving a description of the location or locations, structure or structures, from which the bidder proposes to drill. In awarding a lease, the commission shall not discriminate between bidders by prohibiting drilling from upland, littoral or riparian drill sites, or drilling from sites upon filled lands, whether contiguous or noncontiguous to the riparian or littoral lands or uplands, or upon any pier or platform or other fixed or floating structure in, on or over tide and submerged lands or beds of navigable rivers or lakes, with respect to which the State or other owner thereof has consented, or may thereafter consent, to such use provided, however, that in the event state-owned tide or submerged lands or beds of navigable rivers or lakes are determined by the commission to contain oil or gas deposits which are being drained by wells owned by others upon adjacent lands, and such state-owned tide and submerged lands or beds of navigable rivers or lakes cannot be developed by a particular method of exploration, development or operation without interfering with or impairing developed riverbank or shoreline, recreational or residential areas, then the commission may offer and award an oil and gas lease on such lands with a prohibition against said particular method of exploration, development or operation.
