What is a pipeline Right of Way (ROW)?
A pipeline ROW refers to the land that surrounds a natural gas pipeline. ROWs give natural gas companies the space they need to inspect, test, repair and maintain their pipelines, the majority of which are buried underground in rural areas. In most cases, the ROW extends 25 feet from each side of the pipeline, unless special circumstances apply. ROWs are designated by brightly colored, highly visible pipeline markers.
