Road Rights-Of-Way (ROW) Information
When a pipeline company plans an expansion, it sometimes is necessary to obtain rights-of-way on privately owned lands. Eastern Shore prefers to utilize state highway or road rights-of-way (ROW). This is because new ground disturbances are minimized, disruption to landowners is minimized and it is generally more cost effective. Occasionally, however, Eastern Shore does have to obtain rights-of-way (either permanent or temporary) on private lands.
Eastern Shore is required by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to notify all landowners within a certain proximity to the construction of a project, regardless of if that landowner will realize any impact resulting from construction or not. If you receive a landowner notification letter from Eastern Shore, please carefully read it over and contact Eastern Shore for more information on the project.
