How can I find out if a natural gas well permit has been obtained near my property?

If a gas well operator is applying to site a new location for the drilling and production of natural gas, they are required to notify the public living within 1,000 feet of the site at least 20 days prior to filing the Gas Well Development Site Plan application.

Additional requirements for publishing in the newspaper and putting up signage are summarized in the Gas Well Notification Requirements (PDF).
