Antis Ask Court for Emergency Stop to Drilling Under OH State Parks

The money behind Big Green never stops. Where in the heck do they get it all? In November 2023, the Ohio Oil & Gas Land Management Commission (OGLMC) met in a public forum and voted to allow shale drilling under (not on top of) three different state-owned tracts of land: all 20,000 acres of Salt Fork State Park in Guernsey County, more than 300 acres of Valley Run Wildlife Area in Carroll County, and 66 acres of the Zepernick Wildlife Area in Columbiana County (see OGLMC Votes to Allow Fracking Under Ohio’s Salt Fork State Park). The vote set in motion a window for drillers to submit official proposals. The OGLMC is scheduled to meet next week to announce the winners. Antis have just filed a court motion to block that meeting.
