This form is used when Grantor grants and conveys to Grantee a Right of Way and Easement (the "Right of Way") on which to lay, repair, maintain, operate, and remove pipelines and replace existing lines with other lines for the transportation of oil or gas, and their products, water, or any other fluid or substance. Grantee shall have the right to install valves, fittings, meters, and similar appurtenances as may be necessary or convenient to the operation of the lines installed by Grantee, and to erect, repair, maintain, operate, patrol and remove electric lines, graphite and steel anodes, and other devices for the control of pipeline corrosion, over, through, on, under, and across the lands descibed within.
The New Hampshire Pipeline Right of Way with Grantee Selecting Course is a legal process that allows for the construction and operation of pipelines on private and public lands in the state of New Hampshire. It establishes the necessary guidelines and procedures for the acquisition and use of land for the development of pipelines while also ensuring the protection of property rights and the environment. The course involves several steps designed to determine the best route for the pipeline, with the grantee (usually a pipeline company) selecting the course that will have the least impact on the surrounding areas and communities. This process requires careful planning, assessment, and evaluation to minimize potential adverse effects and address any concerns raised by landowners or relevant stakeholders. There are two types of New Hampshire Pipeline Right of Way: Permanent Right of Way and Temporary Construction Right of Way. 1. Permanent Right of Way: This type of right of way grants the pipeline company a long-term easement or access to construct, operate, and maintain the pipeline on a particular strip of land. It allows for ongoing use of the land while ensuring the safety and integrity of the pipeline infrastructure. The grantee must carefully select the course, taking into consideration factors such as environmental impact, land use, and community concerns. 2. Temporary Construction Right of Way: This type of right of way allows the grantee temporary access to the land solely for the purpose of constructing the pipeline. It is typically granted for a limited period and includes restrictions to minimize disruptions to landowners and environmental impacts during construction. The grantee must again follow a selection process to identify the least disruptive route, taking into account various factors such as property ownership, land use, and environmental sensitivity. The New Hampshire Pipeline Right of Way with Grantee Selecting Course is a highly regulated process that includes public input, environmental assessments, and compliance with relevant state and federal laws. It aims to strike a balance between energy development, economic growth, and the protection of landowners' rights and the environment. It ensures that pipeline projects are undertaken with careful consideration of the potential impacts and with the cooperation and involvement of all relevant parties.
