(e) Except as provided in subsection (f), not more than fifteen (15) days after receipt of the notice required by subsection (d), the permittee of the mine under IC 14-34 or other person with the right to develop the coal resources shall state in writing whether the specific location selected for the drilling of the well is likely to result in either or both of the following:

(1) A significant waste of the volume of coal ultimately to be recovered from the underground mine.

(2) Endangerment of the health and safety of miners.

(f) Subsection (e) does not apply if the permittee of the mine under IC 14-34 consents in writing to the placement of the well.

(g) A person that makes an affirmative determination under subsection (e) shall:

(A) reduce or avoid waste of the volume of coal ultimately to be recovered from the underground mine;

(B) eliminate the likelihood of endangerment of the health and safety of miners;

(C) not violate the drilling unit, well spacing, or other requirements of this article; and

Subject to subsection (i), the director shall conduct, within thirty (30) days after a request is made, an informal hearing under IC 14-37-3-16 to gather information to identify an alternative well location as described in subsection (g)(2).

(i) The information that the director gathers under subsection (h) may include the following:

(1) Whether the location is in an active, inactive, abandoned, or projected underground coal mine.

(2) Whether the location is in an unsealed inactive area or a sealed area of a coal mine with the potential for introducing oxygen into the area from drilling or the well.

(3) The proximity and size of coal pillars in an alternative location that might be drilled through, including whether in a panel or support for a submain or main entries.

(4) The equipment technology and operating or drilling experience history of the operator.

(j) If:

(1) after the informal hearing under subsection (h), the director does not identify a suitable location for the well that is not likely to result in endangerment of the health and safety of miners; and

(2) the location for the well for which notice was provided under subsection (d) is not likely to result in endangerment of the health and safety of miners;

the owner or operator is not required to modify the location of the proposed well and may proceed with the submittal of the permit application to the department under this article.
