353.070 Index of plats -- Agreement permitting well operator to select location.

The department shall keep a proper index of the plats and locations, and shall keep an

accurate record of the proceedings in case of any conference or dispute. Where the well

operator is working under any agreement with or from the owner or the coal operator

operating the workable coal beds under the tract, and the agreement permits the well

operator to select his own locations, the location as originally chosen by the well operator

shall become the authorized location and the department shall issue the proper permit for

the drilling of the well.
