What happens to fences, trees and structures in easement areas?
(back) Fences and gates are removed during construction and replaced after pipe installation is complete. Depending on easement negotiations and other factors, existing or new fence materials may be used. Permanent easements will be cleared of trees, shrubs, structures, and debris that will not be replaced after pipe installation. Temporary easements, used only for construction purposes, will be cleared of shrubs and trees not likely to survive the impact of construction. Every effort will be made to work around large trees and existing structures.
