INSTRUCTIONS TO SURFACE OWNERS NAMED ON PAGE WW4-A

 

                The well operator named on page WW-4A is applying for a permit from the State to plug and abandon a well.  (Note: If the surface tract is owned by more than three persons, then these materials were served on you because your name appeared on the Sheriff’s tax ticket on the land or because you actually occupy the surface tract.  In either case, you may be the only owner who will actually receive these materials.)  See Chapter 22 of the West Virginia Code.  Well work permits are valid for 24 months.  If you do not own any interest in the surface tract, please forward these materials to the true owner immediately if you know who it is.  Also, please notify the well operator and the Office of Oil and Gas.

NOTE: YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO FILE ANY COMMENT.

WHERE TO FILE COMMENTS AND OBTAIN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

 

Chief, Office of Oil and Gas

Department of Environmental Protection

1356 Hansford Street

Charleston, WV  25301

(304) 558-6342

 

                Time Limits and methods for filing comments.  The law requires these materials to be served on or before the date the operator files his Application.  You have FIVE (5) DAYS after the filing date to file your comments.  Comments must be filed in person or received in the mail by the Chief’s office by the time stated above.  You may call the Chief’s office to be sure of the date.  Check with your postmaster to ensure adequate delivery time or to arrange special expedited handling.  If you have been contacted by the well operator and you have signed a “voluntary statement of no objection” to the planned work described in these materials, then the permit may be issued at any time.

                Comments must be in writing.  Your comments must include your name, address and telephone number, the well operator’s name and well number and the approximate location of the proposed well site including district and county from the application.  You may add other documents, such as sketches, maps or photographs to support your comments.

                The Chief has the power to deny or condition a well work permit based on comments on the following grounds:

1)      The proposed well work will constitute a hazard to the safety of persons.

2)      The soil erosion and sediment control plan is not adequate or effective;

3)      Damage would occur to publicly owned lands or resources;

4)      The proposed well work fails to protect fresh water sources or supplies;

5)      The applicant has committed a substantial violation of a previous permit or a substantial violation of one or more of the rules promulgated under Chapter 22, and has failed to abate or seek review of the violation…”.

                If you want a copy of the permit as it is issued or a copy of the order denying the permit, you should request a copy from the Chief.

 

VOLUNTARY STATEMENT OF NO OBJECTION

                I hereby state that I have read the instructions to surface owners and that I have received copies of a Notice and Application For A Permit To Plug And Abandon on Forms WW-4A and WW-4B, and a survey plat.

 

                I further state that I have no objection to the planned work described in these materials, and I have no objection to a permit being issued on those materials.
