| Easement deed restrictions allow for the exploration, storage and removal of gas. However, landowners are advised that the current lease agreements being used by the gas companies lack certain language which would protect the eased land and the landowner. Without this, landowners could unknowingly violate the restrictions in the deed of easement. The County Board's solicitor has prepared a lease addendum to be used in conjunction with the gas lease. Because the landowner will ultimately be responsible for any violations that occur, it is strongly suggested that the addendum be made part of any lease agreement. FOR YOUR PROTECTION - LEGAL COUNSEL SHOULD BE OBTAINED BEFORE YOU SIGN ANY LEASE OR LEGAL DOCUMENT. *This is not legal advice - landowners should seek the advice of an attorney before signing any binding legal documents. |
