Overview
Starting with common law foundations and concluding with analysis of emerging issues involving clashes with renewable energy and subsurface activities like CCS, this presentation examines the rights of mineral owners and developers to use the surface of land. Items of focus include the scope of implied surface use rights, issues surrounding express grants of use rights, the common law accommodation doctrine, and statutory modifications through surface-owner-protection and surface-damages acts. A significant portion of the presentation will explore clashing uses of land between mineral development, renewable energy projects, and subsurface activities like carbon dioxide storage.
