The DEP hasn't set-up electronic notification for new drilling
permits, yet. Isn't it now nearly 90 days? (bill passed December
14, 2011).
In the Regulations:
§22-6A-21. Establishment of public website information and
electronic notification registry regarding horizontal well permit
applications.
(a) No later than ninety days after the effective date of this
article, the secretary shall establish resources on the
department’s public website which will list searchable information
related to all horizontal well applications filed in this state,
including information sufficient to identify the county and
approximate location of each horizontal well for which a permit
application is filed, the referenced well application number, date
of application, name of the applicant, and any written comments
submitted by the public.
(b) The secretary shall also establish a registration and
e-notification process by which individuals, corporations and
agencies may register to receive electronic notice of horizontal
well applications filings and notices, by county of interest. Once
established, individuals, agencies and corporations interested who
are properly registered to receive e-notices of filings and
actions on horizontal well permits shall receive electronic
notifications of applications and notices of permits issued for
horizontal drilling in their designated county or counties of
interest.
