Compensation does not fall under EUB jurisdiction and should be referred to the Surface Rights Board. Matters such as location, safety, construction, and timing fall under EUB jurisdiction. The EUB will require documentation on the progress of previous negotiations and why an agreement could not be reached. The EUB should become involved as a mediator. If the application is to be heard at an EUB public hearing, notice of the hearing will be sent directly to you and other affected landowners and occupants.
Newspaper advertising is also possible.
It is in your best interest to have someone represent you when you are absent. If you go away from home and do not arrange for someone to represent you or notify you, then you may miss your opportunity to be heard at a public hearing. You may or may not wish to be represented by a lawyer. The panel does not make a decision at the hearing. Instead, it considers the evidence and arguments and issues a written report giving the decision and the reasons for it.
