landowners intersted in protecting and improving the soil and water resources of the
county. We service county rsidents and landowners, educators, community groups as well

Pipeline Information
There may be additional new underground pipelines coming through Fayette County in the near future. These pipelines will transport products from the Utica and Marcellus Shale regions to refineries along the Gulf Cosast. Representatives of the pipeline companies will contact landowners along the proposed routes asking them to enter into easement agreements to allow the pipeline(s) to cross their property. Landowners are encouraged to seek qualified legal representation and technical information before entering into any easement agreement. Landowners should be aware that depending on the nature of the pipeline and the material being transported, any particular pipeline may or may not be under significant government regulation and oversight.
Landowners of property in agricultural production must be particularly concerned about how their property will be treated during and after pipeline construction. Items to discuss with the pipeline company representative and to specify in any agreement should include, but be limited to, topsoil segregation, depth of cover over the pipeline, subsurface drainage repair, decompaction, and stone removal. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Soil and Water Resources has developed a "Pipeline Standard and Construction Specifications" to assist landowners. This document can be downloaded here.
