Oil money people are in conflict with garbage money people. I wonder who will win? Read a portion of an article by Josh Dewberry of The Monroe Journal:
The Conecuh County Commission heard from the grassroots group trying to stop a proposed 5,115-acre landfill near Repton Monday afternoon, and the Citizens for a Clean Southwest Alabama (CCSA) found a new ally in the fight. Mark Robinson, vice-president of mineral management and legal for Black Stone Minerals in Houston, Texas, spoke on behalf of the mineral right owners on the property where the proposed landfill would be located.” We think this could be another Little Cedar Creek field,” Robinson said. “Black Stone owns 40-percent of the mineral rights to the property and a landfill on the property would stop us from exploring the oil and mineral deposits.”
The Little Cedar Creek field is near Brooklyn in Conecuh County and has some of the most productive wells discovered along the Gulf Coast in nearly three decades.
“This property sits on top of the Smackover Pinchout, which is the same one as the Little Cedar Creek field,” Robinson said. “We already have a company that wants to shoot 3D seismic images of the property.”
Conecuh County has made a windfall off oil taxes in the past few years because of Little Cedar Creek and other fields.
Conecuh Woods, the company trying to build the landfill, spokesman Patrick Slevin said Tuesday because of the amount of property that will be reserved for buffer that mineral right negotiations can be undertaken.
“Mineral rights negotiations go on every day,” Slevin said. “We are confident that we can negotiate a satisfactory result. Because 70-percent of the 5,115 acres will be earmarked for buffers and non-disposal use, most of the property will remain unchanged.”
