Basic Information for Landowners
along T. W. Phillips Gas and Oil Co.'s Rights of Way
T. W. Phillips Gas and Oil Co.'s("T. W. Phillips") pipelines are constructed
within rights of way. A right of Way Agreement or Pipeline Easement is a legal
document through which the property-owner grants T. W. Phillips permission to use
a portion of his or her land to install, operate, and maintain its pipeline facilities.
It also provides the company with access rights to and over the rights of way so
employees may inspect and maintain the pipeline after it is built. T. W. Phillips
keeps the rights of way clear along its pipeline systems to ensure the safe operation
of the pipelines.
To ensure pipeline integrity:
- Do not erect buildings or any other structures on the pipeline right of way.
- Do not install pools, decks, or sheds on the pipeline right of way.
- Do not move heavy equipment across the right of way without approval.
- Do not plant trees or place any other obstructions on the right of way.
- Do not excavate, change the grade, or impound water within the right of way without
approval.
Although building on the right of way is prohibited, under certain conditions, the
pipeline may be crossed by driveways, roads and other utility lines. In these
instances, T. W. Phillips will work with the landowners to accommodate construction.
The landowner will be required to pay any costs necessary to ensure that the pipeline
continues to meet all regulations under the new conditions.
