If they are wanting to run it under the pond, just have them 'bore' completely under your place. Won't disturb anything on top and you'll still get some $$$$. This is what we did on the last one that came thru us.

They can probably adjust the path to avoid the pond if you work with them. It all depends on the ROW people you’re dealing with. They just can’t adjust anything extreme because it would change the entire path and they’d end up having to adjust back both directions to compensate for one move. Lots of factors
They can bore under ponds but make sure they go plenty deep, I’ve seen where that’s gone wrong and they essentially drained the pond accidentally. But that’s more on the contractor than the pipeline company. They’re expected to know they’re job.

Which pipeline? We have 3 going through our property as is and have several other right always and 1 more looking to go through right now. They are going to be running about a mile on our place before they direct it a different route. They will claim eminent domain over you and you could possibly be screwed. IMO get an idea from other land owners, but we always go a step above and turn it over to our attorney. I personally don't care for them in our place and don't really care about the clearings for hunting as we do much more than just hunt. Just from property owner standpoint. Also make sure that they have proper coverage in insurance before stepping on your property. A rancher a few miles from us got into a bind when a guy got hurt. Make sure you also get damages from them.

Originally posted by JMKro View PostNot sure to be honest. From what we can tell, the pipeline company wasn't even aware we had bought our property and our neighbor had bought his. Both small tracks. Both with plans to build structures. One track with a pond in the proposed path. Makes us wonder if they might go around us through a property that's probably never going to be "developed" due it's low elevation along a creek. Guess we'll see what happens.

Idk what they’re offer will look like, but get estimates or make them
Offer you money for any big mature trees they may want to knock down. I’ve heard some land owners getting a lot for big oak trees having to be removed. You can also throw in little stipulations like all the trees they take out having to be cut or removed as firewood and stacked up for you.

And they paid a hefty $10K for damages and the ROW. That was 30 years ago the money is long gone, but the ROW is still here. And those oaks were a 100 yrs old. And the neighboring hunters can now see completely across my property.
I am not a fan of eminent domain ROW’s. Or anyone have “permanent rights” to cross my land.

Found out it's going to be a 16" line. The permit from the RRC classifies it as a "Gas Utility" line, but the electronic map on the RRC's website lists it as a "Gas Gathering" line. From what we've read, it's pretty much a given that eminent domain is approved for the project if it's a utility line. However, we haven't seen anything stating that a gathering line project can be approved for eminent domain. Anyone knowledgeable on this? Also, is there any sort of documentation from the RRC or the state that verifies if a project has the power of eminent domain?
