Pipeline ROW

But then he was able to use that point when negotiating the price. If he may be responsible to remove the pipeline in the future then they should compensate him for that additional cost when they purchase the ROW. As I have said above, EVERYTHING is negotiable.

Maybe something could be put in the contract saying that they would clean the pipe ....ie. not leave it full of some "petroleum" product. T

his would be hard to monitor or know if this was really ever done without cutting the pipe and inspecting it.

Maybe something could be included to hold them responsible for xxx number of years.
