Subsurface Resources Act

The Subsurface Resources Act governs the exploration and extraction of natural resources below the earth's surface, such as minerals, oil, and gas. It sets rules for how companies can access these resources, ensuring they follow environmental and safety standards. The act typically outlines the process for obtaining permits, land rights, and responsibilities for protecting the environment and public health. By regulating these activities, the law aims to balance economic development with conservation efforts and community rights.
