A Texas-based energy company has been selected as the “highest and best” bidder to lease Keen Wildlife Area for fracking during Monday’s Ohio Oil and Gas Land Management meeting.

The following article was originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement.Four other parts of the state in Belmont, Monroe and Harrison counties — all Ohio Department of Natural Resources and Ohio Department of Transportation properties — were also approved to be fracked by the “highest and best” bidders.

Notably, 40 parcels of land in Salt Fork State Park and Salt Fork Wildlife Area were removed from the committee’s agenda last week by the nominator. These parcels were up for a vote to move forward in the bidding process.The commissioners disapproved less than an acre of land in Guernsey County from moving forward in the bidding process “due to a condition in the nomination that could render the economic benefits too low to warrant approval pursuant to Ohio Revised Code,” according to ODNR.
