Summary
The purpose of this bill is to prohibit oil and gas drillers from "daylighting" the roads and sites they build by cutting down timber in wide swaths of both sides of the road or site. An exception can be made by rule by the Office of Oil and Gas if the exception is based on scientific studies. Also the bill increases the compensation a surface owner receives from the driller for using the surface owner's land for well road and well sites if the driller places the road or site in places the surface owner did not want unless it was necessary for the driller to place the road and site where it was placed.
