| The
Gas Well
In
early September 2008 we learned that a Company wished to drill
a gas well on our property. Since the mineral rights had been
separated from the surface rights some time in the past and
we just owned the surface rights to our land there wasn't
much we could do about it.
Our
blog
at LiveJournal along with the News
section of this site offers updates as to what is happening.
The Livejournal blog is also an archive of all our past posts
(the News section of this site just retains the most current).
As
we have time and events progress we'll be adding to this section
of the site. We plan to publish here the comments we've prepared
in response to the Company's application to the state to drill.
We also plan to document in words and pictures the process
of drilling and and afterwards. As of spring 2009 it seems
that the Company will not be drilling on our property for
the next year or two at least as it focuses its attentions
elsewhere.
The
Existing Gas Well
Devoted to a gas well that already exists between the hard
road and our property.
The
Vac Truck
In February 2009 a bulldozer was used to get a vac truck
to and from the existing well site and we document the damage
done to the earth road.
Reclamation
We discuss, using photographs of actual well sites, the process
of constructing an access road and the site before drilling
to final revegetation.
Gas
Well Study, 2008
We examined a number of gas wells and present here our findings
about one Company's. The Study is ongoing so other pertinent
information and updates will be available here also. There
is a link on the Gas Well Study page for what we are examining
in 2009.
Drilling
Waste Management
We've been collecting materials and presenting information
about drilling waste management for our blog
and we've begun to tie everything together here.
