U S Magistrate Judge Don ald Bostwick recommended a preliminary injunction allowing Northern Natural Gas Co to gain immediate access to the expansion area in south central Kansas for gas storage after securing a $6.7 million bond plus a $3.8 million deposit.

If Brown accepts, Northern would own the wells it seeks and proceed with a broader exploration and extraction plan.
