[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1830621, member: 6291"] Power line ROWs is probably the one group I will never lease to. They are arrogant and unregulated. A lot of the unwillingness to deviate comes from the fact that they will do eminent domain if it's a line of any size, another reason I dispise them. You brought up good point about access. I recent locked a pipeline company out of access that they claim was given before my time and told them to stay on their ROW. They had no gates to access it other than ours. They tried to give me a sob story about their budgets not having room for the construction and I told them I didn't care if bankrupted their whole company. They leased a ROW and do not own the land... I do... and I will spend a fortune to make sure they understand it clearly. With any ROW maintenance is a big issue. Get it in the contract up from they must contact you with a certain amount of time of notice, and damages while doing maintenance will be at their expense, write exceptions like they ROW must not interfere with your grass or grazing operation, they must use herbicides annually to controll brush/ weeds, no shedding. I had AEP run a hydroaxe (huge mulcher) down several miles of ROW through good grazing because their shredder broke done. We went to war and they had to reimburse damages. All that stuff needs to be thought about in advance. Watch for statements that say they have the right to leave their ROW in emergency situations. They will play that card when ever needed. Be specific about what an energy situation is like, loss of life, not loss of revenue. [/QUOTE]
