What is involved with a pipeline survey, and does my giving permission to survey mean I am giving permission to build the pipeline on my property?
Survey crews will be identifying property boundaries, distances to surface features, other underground utilities, “fine tuning” the proposed route, and construction workspace requirements. Additionally, environmental and cultural survey crews will be reviewing the proposed route for any environmental or culturally sensitive resources. These crews will be digging holes during their survey efforts as required by the various regulatory agencies to help identify sensitive environmental resources. All holes will be backfilled immediately upon completion of the survey. Granting of survey permission does not mean permission to build the pipeline on your property is also granted. These are separate negotiations with REX — East ROW staff.
