§ 91.177. 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project should not be withdrawn.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.
