If this is land in S. Ohio, it is quite likely that a mining company owns the mineral rights to your land. You probably never owned the mineral rights to begin with. They are often bought, sold and traded among companies in that part of the state.
On our family's land in Noble county, a company we had never heard of informed us that they would be drilling two natural gas wells on our property. They told us where they would be drilling and when. They cleared scores of trees and built driveways to the drilling areas which were each 1+ acre square.
When they were done, they "re-sculpted" the land and set some water/oil tanks nearby. They also cut a path to the nearest road and laid a transmission line. The land is quite different than it was before. We have a campsite that we can't get to anymore.
The only thing they consulted us on was where the driveway would be and where the tanks would be located (within reason). They were under no compulsion to do as we said. We had no legal right to stop them from doing anything. If they wanted to strip mine the land, they would have the right to do so.
These companies are smart though, they offered us royalties on any gas taken off the land or free gas for our cabin. We took the free gas.
Good to see you again, Hal.
