Received my packet for the Rover Pipeline

I received a large information packet about the Rover Pipeline, so I guess I'm on their route. I have to return a form for a survey to be done. In reading over some of the material, it states that professional appraisers will determine land values and Rover will go with that. I chuckled at that part. I think it's time we upped the price per foot of pipeline. Do I hear $125.00 per foot???

I own the Salem Methodist Church and Cemetery. The plot of land is only 1.76 acres. I wonder where on this piece of property they could put a pipeline?

Maybe under the cemetery?

A landman for AEP (American Electric Power) told me a few years ago that an appraiser told him the land in the Majorsville, WV area is so valuable, that you can't put a price on it. I'm in Majorsville and my land is their mecca because it all goes through me, all the pipelines have to cross my land, including the ROVER line. I'll remember that when dealing with ROVER, who say, that they will use appraisers to value the land. To anyone who will deal with ROVER, remember this: timber damage, the pipeline itself, access and temp. work spaces. Make sure you get paid for it all.

Thanks Zack. But I really don't think me property is worth much of anything. Remember, it has a Church and a Cemetery both on it, and there is not much room for a pipeline.

Maybe they can go under it !!

I am not going to fool around with these people. I can only imagine what the " professional appraisal" would be on such a small piece of property.

According to what I am reading on this page, they are going to pay you what they want to pay you or just take the property. But, I do hope they treat the other property owners fairly in this matter. Good luck to you all.

Like I stated, my piece of land is so small, I didn't sign the agreement to let them come on my property. If they want to, they can look across the property it is so small. And there is not a ROW on it now, so I don't know what they want me sign and give them the right to come across my property to survey. The Columbia Gas building sits right across the road in front of my property. I wrote them a letter wanting to meet with them in St. Clairsville, Ohio and also I  gave them my phone number to call me so I could talk to them, the only response was another form for me to sign to give them the right to survey my property. I am pretty sure if they don't want to talk to the property owners, they aren't going to be willing to pay to enter your land to survey.

I received my second letter from Rover. They want to survey my property for their pipeline. I never got around to sending in the first property examination permit, as they call it. I'm going to sign and return it to them. I'll keep everyone updated as things progress.

Surveyors have been here for almost a week now.  They are trying to figure out how to get it around my house.  I am pretty sure they wish my house wasn't here.

Has anyone asked them for payment to enter their land to do the survey?

I want to know for sure if eminent domain can be used for the Rover pipeline. On the maps that were enclosed with the packets that were mailed, the FERC line is highlighted in red. Is this the only line that they can use eminent domain on? There will be many smaller diameter "supply lines" that will connect with the main (FERC) line. Aren't these "supply lines" non eminent domain lines? The main line will be a 42 inches.
