Mining; ownership of underground void. Broadens the existing statutory provision for ownership of the space opened underground by the removal of minerals and coal. The ownership of the space would, unless expressly reserved by the landowner, run with the mineral estate whether such estate is owned or leased, or created before or after 1981. Currently, the presumption lies only with regards to mineral estates owned after 1981. The provision has no effect on the determination of ownership rights in coalbed methane.

Mining; ownership of underground void.

Del. Terry Kilgore [R]
