Even though there isn’t much residents can do to fight the path of a natural gas pipeline, they can at least ask for a fair amount of money for using their land.

The Intelligencer & Wheeling News-Register reports that some landowners who will see the Rover Pipeline cross their properties don’t believe that they are being offered what they think is a fair value for use of their land. Residents want to know what their rights are before construction begins.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has not yet approved the pipeline, but if it does, pipeline developers could use eminent domain to acquire the land easements they need to complete the project. They could also place compressors along the pipeline’s path without any additional payment to landowners.

The Rover Pipeline is planned to originate in Doddridge County, West Virginia and stretch through Tyler County, West Virginia, under the Ohio River, through several Ohio counties, into Pennsylvania,back through Ohio and into Michigan until it reaches the Canadian border in Ontario.
