Rumor has it from neighbors to the farm that there was an issue with the existing lease. Not sure what the issue was but report is the site prep crew was told to stop stoning the site and move on to other areas until further notice. I haven't been able to find a permit for this well on ODNR either...

There is permit for that well. I believe the problem is one of the dozers found a sink hole in the location possibly from an old artesian well that was there long ago and was covered over back in the seventies. I can remember a hole there that appeared to be about the size and depth that made me always think it was old building foundation. The current owner covered it over and has been farming over top of it for last 30 or more years. The ODNR was called in on it. Probably they will have to make sure the ground is stable enough to hold up the equipment.

Looks like crews are back as of this morning. Not much activity taking place today, a few people in hard hats walking and in groups.

Rumour is that they hit an old undocumented landfill....so that held it up...but now it is back on track.
