Only a fraction of Ohio landowners have signed Nexus Pipeline easements
Saturday, June 11, 2016
Just a fraction of the easements needed for the Nexus Pipeline have been signed in Ohio counties, Akron Beacon Journal reports. So far, 240 easements have been signed by Ohio landowners whose properties lie in the path of the pipeline.
The Coalition to Reroute Nexus (CORN) is telling landowners not to sign the easements.
The 250-mile Nexus Pipeline will transport natural gas from eastern Ohio, travel northwest to Michigan and onto Ontario, Canada. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) still has to approve the pipeline.

Shale FAQ
What are mineral rights?
Mineral rights are the rights of the owner of the property to mine or produce any resources below the surface of the property. Mineral rights are different from surface rights.
Will I get free natural gas if I allow fracking on my property?
Maybe. It depends on your particular lease agreement. Some companies allow property owners a yearly free gas allowance. But, the process of connecting your property to the gas source may be more complicated. Some companies will provide a hookup, others require the landowner to provide one.
