Nicole & Mary and SCLOC Steering Committee
As our name implies, the Steuben County Land Owners' Coalition is a group of land owners
in Steuben County (NY). The Coalition is sponsored by the Steuben County Farm Bureau. We would like to thank Cornell
Cooperative Extension Service for technical assistance. There is no fee to join the coalition. Registering with us entails
no obligations.
Our goal is to understand the true value of the mineral rights in our area and to work together to
ensure that land owners receive fair and equitable reimbursement should they choose to lease those rights.
Our Mission
Our key goal is education. We believe that full disclosure is important in developing
a contract but that key information has not been readily available. Land owners are making decisions that may well tie
up the mineral rights on the property for 20, 30 years or more without understanding the true value
of the rights they are giving up. Thus, we are attempting to understand:
1. What gas or oil deposits appear to exist in the county? How likely are they to prove viable? What sign-up
bonuses and royalties are being offered in other areas of the state or country that have similar potential? 2. How
much land is currently under contract and for what periods? Where, exactly, is it located? As we gather this information,
it is being shared through a series of public meetings, by flyers, and through this website. Ultimately, the coalition
will develop an RFP - a Request for Proposals - that will be submitted to multiple leasing companies. After the bid review
and any re-negotiation, the steering committee will recommend the most advantageous bid to Coalition members. Members
can choose to participate in that contract, to negotiate their own contract, or to decline to sign any contract.
The Steuben County Land Owners coalition is working with Nicole Gwardyak and Empire Energy Consultants, LLC

Week of 2-7-10
This week was an interesting one on the political side. I hope everyone takes the time to evaluate any of the new canidates
running for any of the new openings. Let's make sure the new ones are landowner friendly. We have 3 meetings lined up for
this week. I hope that we will have some good things to report next week. Check out the map I just put on our home page. It
looks like Steuben County is in a good area. That is about all the news I have for this week.
Until next week,
Dana
