I know a number of people that received $24/ft. for 16" gathering lines.  Where is this pipeline coming from and going to if you know?

Sara,

     Eric is right That $1 should not even be considered unless thats per square foot. Good luck on that.

     For a 40' ROW I'll say $9 per with no other access (ingress, egress, work areas ...). I'm not saying that's a good price. But NO less than that.

That should be broken into two parts. $6 (2/3) for granting ROW and $3 (1/3) for damages for installation of 1st pipeline. Some companies will use a 60%(3/5) 40%(2/5) or something like that.

$3 for damages for 1 additional pipeline. Installed within 3 years. Don't give them forever to install that second one or especially the first one.

Also tell them you want $350 or what your lawyer charges for legal fees. At the time of signing.

After they agree to the $$$ start working on addendums.

     That 36" is a minimum from top of pipe. I figured 3 feet was enough for my situation, but you may want more.

Sara,

36" of cover is standard for all natural gas transmission companies.  But if you can, talk to the Pipeline Inspector.  Let him/her know that you will not allow any inconsistencies in this specification on your property.  Feed him a line if you must, tell him you are taking pics.  The inspector works for the company that will own the pipeline.  It is his/her responsibility to ensure that the specifications in the contract are met by the pipeline company.  So give him he.....well,  help, more reason to do his job correctly.
