re: Experience with Gas Lines Running Through Property

With my business I deal with pipelines everyday. A little info for you to know. Prior to the line being constructed an agreement should have been signed and recorded between the pipeline operator and the property owner. This agreement will state the operators rights including the right of way width although prior to the 60's often the width was not stated. Often the agreement allows the operator to access not only their right of way but existing driveways or private roads.
A one time fee was usually paid to the property owner, based upon the number of rods (16.5 feet) that it crossed.
Most agreements will include a plat which should show the property and width of the right of way.
There are certain things the property owner can't do on the right of way, while other things are permitted. I would discuss this with the operator because each is different.
Keep in mind pipeline operators can change names or be sold so the recorded agreement may not reflect the current operators name.
On a 24 acre tract with a pipeline in the rear, the impacted value will be minimal.
