I know which one your talking about. I would hate it there. Someone should have stepped up right away to make sure it was all legal like. Did anyone talk to an attorney. Is it an AEU pad. If so it wouldn't have stopped them anyway. Talk about a horrible place for that pad.

Considering the number of blowouts that we have had in this region, ODNR may want to consider increasing the 100' minimum setback from wellhead to houses.

"Minimum distance of a well from an occupied private dwelling and certain
public buildings in an area that is not an urbanized area
For areas that are not urbanized areas, the surface location of a new well cannot
be within 100 feet of an occupied private dwelling or of a public building that may be
used as a place of assembly, education, entertainment, lodging, trade, manufacture,
repair, storage, or occupancy by the public.  That minimum distance does not apply to a
building or other structure that is incidental to agricultural use of the land on which the
building or other structure is located unless the building or other structure is used as an
occupied private dwelling or for retail trade.  (R.C. 1509.021(H).)"
