(1)
(2)
(3)
Each permit issued under KRS 353.500 to 353.720 shall expire one (1) year
after the date issued, unless the drilling, deepening, or reopening of a well is
commenced pursuant thereto prior to the expiration of the one (1) year period.
However, the permit term shall be extended by one (1) year if, prior to the
expiration date, the permit applicant notifies the department in writing of the
applicant's request for an extension, notifies the owner, record coal lessee, or
mine licensee originally entitled to receive a copy of the plat under KRS
353.050, submits an affidavit stating that the information in the original permit
application is still correct, and submits a fee for the extension in an amount
equal to the permit fee required by KRS 353.590. With respect to permits
issued prior to July 15, 2002, no extension shall be granted for any permit in
cases where there has been a complete severance of the ownership of the oil
and gas from the ownership of the surface to be disturbed, unless the
requested extension is agreed to in writing by the surface owner.
The extension of the permit term pursuant to subsection (1) of this section shall
not create a right to object to the well location under KRS 353.060 nor to
mediation under KRS 353.5901.
All permits issued by the department under any previous statute shall continue
in force as written, only if the drilling of the well has been commenced pursuant
thereto on or before sixty (60) days after June 16, 1960.
