Description

This form is an easement and right of way for pipeline. Ohio Easement and Right of Way (Pipeline) refers to the legal authorization granted to an individual or entity allowing them to access and use a specific land or property for the installation, maintenance, and operation of a pipeline. This includes the construction of pipelines for transportation of oil, gas, water, or other substances. Easements and right of way agreements are necessary to ensure lawful access and use of private property for necessary infrastructure development. In Ohio, there are different types of easements and right of way agreements related to pipelines. These include: 1. Permanent Easements: A permanent easement grants a pipeline company indefinite access and use rights over a portion of the property owner's land. This agreement generally remains in effect until the pipeline is decommissioned or removed. 2. Temporary Easements: Temporary easements are time-limited agreements allowing pipeline companies to access and use the land for a specified period. These are commonly used during pipeline construction, maintenance, or repairs. Once the specified time period expires, the temporary easement generally ceases to exist. 3. Right of Way (ROW): Right of way is another term used to describe the legal authority granted to a pipeline company for passage through a designated area. The right of way typically includes a strip of land that provides sufficient width for the pipeline installation and maintenance. 4. Pre-Existing Easements: Sometimes, existing easements already exist on a property before pipeline development. In such cases, pipeline companies may negotiate with the property owner to modify or add easements specific to the pipeline project. It is important to note that property owners in Ohio may receive compensation for the use of their land through easement agreements. Compensation may include one-time payments, annual rental fees, or other terms agreed upon in negotiations with the pipeline company. Ohio Easement and Right of Way (Pipeline) laws are primarily governed by state statutes, including the Ohio Revised Code, and regulations established by specialized state agencies such as the Ohio Power Siting Board, Ohio Department of Natural Resources, and Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. These laws aim to ensure fair treatment of property owners and safe and responsible pipeline development in the state.
