Anyone Dealing With the ET Rover Pipeline Project Click Me
There have been several meetings in Tyler county Wv regarding several pipelines. One of which is the ET Rover Pipeline Project. This particular project once FERC approved will be EMINENT DOMAIN!!!!!!! I just recently found out that Energy Transfer, the company responsible for the project, have placed very detailed maps at local public libraries. These maps contain satellite imagery with watersheds and land parcel breakdowns of areas affected by the pipeline. Call your local libraries to see who has them. Along the pipeline, there is a huge buffer zone. If you take a look at one of these maps, these are the red lines on both sides of the pipeline. It is my understanding that the landowner is not allowed to build anything within this zone which is considerably larger/wider than the Row.

This was what came of a conversation with a gentleman and a landman representing the pipeline. It was brought up in one of the meetings. It seemed a little far fetched, but with eminent domain who knows. I called my landman representing my section and he seem to think that the buffer zone was wiggle room and the line could possibly go anywhere within that zone due to negotiation reasons with landowners. Sorry for the mis information but I am reporting on here what people are currently saying in my area that came out of these meetings. At least people reading this can get a grasp on what is being said on a local level as to later use to dispute rumors started by miscommunication/misunderstanding.

Ron: WOW. Thanks for the links. Very sobering for those thinking about agreeing to have a pipeline in their back yard, and information I'm sure is withheld by the landman trying to get signatures. I have seen several installations completely in violation of the setback minimums. The pictures at the end of the greglocke article are terrific. One picture is worth a thousand words.

Ron,
According to the guy I called he said that you could construct clear up to the row. As said before he thought that the buffer zone on the map I had was anywhere within that zone, the pipeline could be placed. Dependent on landowner agreements with the company I could see how the final route of the pipeline could have slight changes due to the landowner's requests. There are some things I have read about issues with getting mortgages on properties/construction near these areas. Another consideration is the fact that insurance companies may have different feelings about these areas as well.

I posted a different thread a month or two ago on a study similar to the links you posted. It had a chart with Psi and pipe diameter vs. blast radius it was pretty impressive. Here is my previous post.
After being contacted by Energy Transfer, the company building the ET Rover pipeline. I decided to do a little research on the safety of pipelines. This site is obviously against pipelines near towns etc. and may be very biased towards putting an end to the construction of one. However, the charts they display on their site may offer some insight as to the blast radius capabilities of a pipeline in consideration to its diameter and psi. Although lines are pressure tested and fairly safe . This should be something people should consider if an explosion should ever occur. Pipeline placement on your property should be of upmost importance during the negotiation stage. http://nogaspipeline.org/2010-08-19/the-blast-radius

Assuming the psi of the ET Rover Pipeline is industry standard. which is about 1400 psi, the safe distance away should be about ~ 1000' Now remember folks this is a radius, not a diameter. Radius is only half way across a circle/blast site. That is 2000' diameter !!! a half mile is 2640'
