Dispute Resolution Process
 
The Surface Rights Board (SRB) is a quasi-judicial board authorized under the Surface Rights Act to determine compensation related to energy activities.
 
Parties are encouraged to use mediation as the primary way to resolve disputes that come before the Board. Unlike a formal hearing, the parties have control over the outcome and are more likely to be satisfied with mediated results than with decisions imposed by the Board.
