When we purchased the farm in 1994 there were 3 ( 18", 26", and 30" ) existing
natural gas underground pipelines with easements crossing one of the small fields,
the tip of another and under Heath creek. See attachments. It looks like the land
owner has rights to 2 farm taps in the future. As I understand it, no guarantees, it
should be the case that if one were to build on these properties crossed and
wanted a natural gas service he could request the tap for the service and receive
one.
In 2005 and 2009 two additional underground pipelines crossed the same
properties near the same easements, a 24" and a 30" if I remember correctly.
These lines were installed under the strict supervision of a certified organic
pipeline installation inspector in order to protect the organic certification of the
farm. These lines were installed under Heath Creek by the directional bore
method meaning the creek and the adjacent areas were not disturbed as a holes
were bored under the creek and the pipes were pulled through the bore holes.
The lines have caused us no concern and we believe are the safest way to
transport this energy product.
