Kinder Morgan / Utopia East Pipeline - Eminent Domain??

Does anyone know if the Kinder Morgan Utopia East Pipeline proposed to run from Harrison County, Ohio, to NW Ohio qualifies for eminent domain status?

Since it does not cross the Ohio state line, a FERC permit will not be required. Most likely will not have access to eminent domain.

Billy Bob, is the Utopia crossing your property? Has your property been appraised by the Appraiser Kinder Morgan hired?

Yes, the Utopia East line crosses one of my family's farms in Archer Twp. and, yes, it has been formally appraised by Kinder Morgan's representative appraiser.  KM has made a fairly reasonable cash offer for the ROW, but the route being proposed is unacceptable and they seem deaf on that issue.

What have you been offered per foot? KM has made some very low offers to other farmers.
