What farming activities are allowed on the easement during pipeline operation?
A. Farming involving cultivated crops (e.g. corn, grass seed, etc.) can resume after the pipeline becomes operational or when construction is complete in that area. Deep-rooted crops such as filbert orchards, Christmas trees and crops that require wooden supports (such as cane berries, hops and grapes) are not permitted within fifteen feet of the pipeline centerline. The reason for this is that the easement must be easily viewed from the air and ground by maintenance personnel.
