Pipeline rights-of-way (ROW) are strips of land, up to 60 feet in width, in which natural gas pipelines are installed. These pipelines range in size up to 20 inches in diameter and transport natural gas at pressures of up to 875 pounds per square inch (psi). To identify the location of buried pipelines within the rights-of-way, distinctive marker posts are placed in the ground at intervals above the centerline of the pipeline, or as close as possible.
Most of the rights-of-way on private property are easements granted by either the present or former landowners. There are formal agreements granting the rights-of-way in perpetuity; a change in ownership of the property does not alter the agreement. The rights-of-way agreement identifies what may be done within the rights-of-way boundaries and protects the interest of both the property owner and the pipeline company.
