The gas industry claims there are no proven instances of
contamination of wells caused by them. If so, why do they
require non-disclosuure agreements to be signed by leaseholders? We petition the state and federal governments
to require that copies of these agreements be furnished to
them by the industry.
Why is this important?
Gas drilling companies require lease holders to sign
said agreements which force landowners to agree to
silence where drilling errors are made. The penalty for
breaking these agreements is a lawsuit initiated against
the leaseholder by the gas company.
