Colorado Land Use Lawyer
Land Use
When a landowner
leases mineral rights to a gas or oil company, there are often two
contracts that are signed. The first contract establishes the terms of the lease,
including royalties paid to the landowner. The second contract is called a "
surface use agreement," and it establishes the manner in which the oil or gas company can
utilize the land in exploring for valuable minerals. This contract may
include stipulations regarding where drilling can take place, as well
as what can be built to facilitate the drilling, such as access roads
and storage structures.
If you have leased mineral rights to a mining company and you feel that
the company has utilized your land in an improper manner, you are entitled
to take legal action in an effort to recover damages. Improper land use
can result in significant consequences, such as the devaluation of your
property. You may also be held liable for damages that are caused to neighboring
properties as a result of the company's actions. It is recommended
that you contact a
Colorado oil and gas lawyer who can represent you in your case, and fight for the restitution that
you rightfully deserve.
