survey rules and regulations state when survey crews may be on the property, as well as locations they can and cannot survey. This protects the landowner from a pipeline that runs through his front yard, stock tank or corral. One of the fi rst clauses in most pipeline agreements
addresses pipeline depth. Determine the optimum pipe- line depth necessary for present and future ranching operations. Include non-exclusive pipeline rules that allow crossing over pipelines with waterlines, because they may be needed to water cattle later. Wallace recommends the top of the pipe be no closer than 36 inches from the surface, and it can be deeper. This spacing allows the rancher to continue present and future operations without interfering with mesquite and cedar removal. Most pipeline companies prefer to lay as many pipe-
lines as possible in a single easement. The landowner has the right to be compensated for each pipeline and can specify the pipe’s size. If the company adds larger pipelines later, they have to pay for that.
Add a reseeding clause that directs the pipeline
company to plant approved native grass varieties on disturbed soil.

one side of the ditch and caliche or other rock goes on the other side,” Wallace advises. “Put in the pipe, the caliche, and then put the topsoil back on top. This is the double ditch method. The company should place the pipeline at the depth agreed upon by both par- ties. Leftover rock may be placed at other locations on the property.” Most cattlemen require the company to water-pack
buried pipelines to prevent soil from settling. Add a reseeding clause that directs the pipeline company to plant approved native grass varieties on disturbed soil. The company should provide water, using USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) stan- dards, until a good stand of grass appears. It is important to list the by-products that pipelines
may transport, such as non-processed wellhead oil and gas hydrocarbons. Be aware that various oil fi eld
