Gas Company / Landman asking you to sign a lease?
STOP. Do not sign anything! This is a legally binding contract that requires an attorney to first review to protect your rights.
DROP.. By your neighbors & see what they are being told. These reps are like many others in sales who may try to rush you or even trick you to sign up. Add your experience and read that of others on MIT's website www.landmanreportcard.com
ROLL ... Out Information. Do your homework as a group and make informed decisions together. A well requires at least 20 acres of property. A gas/oil well is an industrial operation which can have property value and/or health affects on citizens up to 3000 ft from the site.

About Us
NEOGAP (Northeast Ohio Gas Accountability Project) is a project that formed after several founding members came together as a result of the negative impacts of gas drilling operations in our neighborhoods from 2006 to present.
In 2004 legislation was passed which placed sole permitting/regulating authority in the hands of one state department (ODNR). Despite much opposition from citizens and local leaders 98% of permits have been approved in the last 5 years without regard to zoning ordinances resulting in 1000's of wells placed in highly inappropriate areas such as 100 ft from residences and schools. Our ultimate goal is to improve the gas/oil law in Ohio to restore consideration to public safety, but along the way we are finding it equally important to educate and unite citizens and municipalities.
