Pipeline - Land Use
The Pipeline Safety Trust (PSTrust) frequently hears from landowners who live near pipelines with questions about pipeline safety, the government processes for routing pipelines, easements and eminent domain, right of way maintenance and use limitations, property values and insurance, and many other topics related to living near a pipeline. Last year the PSTrust received a grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Administration (PHMSA) to produce a guide for landowners to provide answers to many of these questions.
The Landowner s Guide to Pipelines, is available as a .pdf on the PSTrust website at http://www.pstrust.org/library/docs/landownersguide.pdf
Partnering to Further Enhance Pipeline Safety in Communities Through Risk-Informed Land Use Planning. The report is a collaborative effort by land use planning and pipeline safety stakeholder representatives to identify and recommend practices related to risk-informed planning for development around transmission pipelines.
