| Purpose of the meeting In Accordance with §45.1-361.35.H. of the Code of Virginia, the Director of the Division of Gas and Oil has scheduled an Informal Fact Finding Hearing to consider objections received from Surface Owner Kevin and Kathy Deel of Bee Virginia, to be affected by the above-named operation(s). The objections by the Surface Owner were received at the Division of Gas and Oil Office in a timely manner and in accordance with § 45.1-361.35.A. This notice of hearing is being sent to the permit applicant and to all parties with standing to object as prescribed by §45.1-361.30. All parties are entitled to be represented by counsel at the hearing, if desired. Those receiving notice of this proceeding and who did not object to the application are not required to attend. The objections have been filed by the Surface Owners against the permit applications for EQT Coalbed Methane Gas Operations VC-536092, well and VC-536092 Pipeline associated with the well, in accordance with: § 45.1-361.35. Objections to permits; hearing. 4. The Location of the coalbed methane well or coalbed methane well pipeline will unreasonably infringe on the surface owner’s use of the surface, provided, however, that a reasonable alternative site is available within the unit, granting the objection will not materially impair any right contained in an agreement, valid at the time of the objection, between the surface owner and the operator or their predecessors or successors in interest. All testimony in this conference must be relevant to objections allowed for and detailed in the Gas and Oil Act. | |
