Pennsylvania's 'Neighbor Notification Act' (related to gas drilling) requires drillers to notify property owners within what distance of a proposed well?

A100 feet
B500 feet✓ Correct
C1,000 feet
D5,000 feet

Explanation

Pennsylvania's Oil and Gas Act (Act 13) requires drillers to notify surface owners and water well owners within 1,000 feet of proposed well locations. This allows affected property owners to document water quality before drilling begins, protecting their ability to demonstrate any subsequent water quality changes.
