DOE - EMINENT DOMAIN
"Before construction starts engineering surveys are conducted of :
- the ROW centerline
- extra workspaces.
Before construction starts:
complete land or easement acquisition of private lands is finalized
complete land or easement acquisition of state lands is finalized.
If the necessary land rights or easements are not obtained
through good faith negotiations with landowners and the project
is approved by the FERC,
the pipeline company could use the right of eminent domain
granted it an easement under Section 7(h)
of the Natural Gas Act (NGA).
The pipeline company is still required to compensate the landowners
for the ROW, as well as for any damages incurred during construction.
The pipeline company generally pays the market price for the property.
However, the level of compensation is determined by the court system according to state laws regarding eminent domain.
Eminent domain is used only as a last resort, because the process can take up to 2 to 3 years (FERC 2007).
