David, More worrisome to me is the open and obvious clear cut of trees showing the exact centerline of the pipelines. Ohio Oil Gathering (a subsidiary of Marathon Oil) showed the general location of their pipelines on their website, but finding the exact location would have been harder than it will be now.
The other thing that troubles me is utility companies expanding their rights to easements based on security concerns. As I noted, the original easements I've looked at did not allow this degree of cutting. I know that abuse of easement rights is not something that we have to worry about as examiners, we just show it. However, as a property owner it bothers me.
