Wayne County Agricultural Land Preservation Program
Easement deed restrictions allow for the exploration, storage and removal of gas.  

However, current lease agreements being used by the gas companies may 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.
