§ NR.91.177. STORAGE OPERATIONS MUST BE BONA FIDE
STORAGE OPERATIONS MUST BE BONA FIDE. (a) A storer must initiate injection operations for gas storage within 12 months after the condemnation order of the court becomes final and storage operations must continue with reasonable diligence after that time. (b) Should the monthly reports to the commission indicate that bona fide underground gas storage operations are not being conducted, the commission may, on its own motion or on motion of any interested person, schedule a public hearing, giving the storer the opportunity to show cause why the commission approval of the project should not be withdrawn. (c) If the commission finds that the storage project is not being conducted in a bona fide manner, it shall issue an order withdrawing approval of the storage facility, and all property, both mineral and surface, that was condemned by the storer shall revert to those who owned the property at the time of condemnation or their successors. Added by Acts 1979, 66th Leg., p. 1996, ch. 785, Sec. 3, eff. June 13, 1979.
