Summary of Pipeline Alert For Texas Landowners: Are You Impacted By WhiteWater’s Eiger Express Pipeline?
Texas Landowner Attorney Phil Hundl provides an important alert for Texas landowners: the newly announced Eiger Express Pipeline Project by WhiteWater. This large-diameter, high-pressure natural gas line (similar to the Matterhorn project) is in the very early stages, with the proposed in-service date projected for 2028. If your property is along this well-known corridor, you may be contacted soon by right-of-way agents seeking survey access. Landowners should understand their rights and obligations before signing anything.
Key Takeaways for Landowners
- Early Stages – The Eiger Express Pipeline, a WhiteWater project, is just beginning, but landowners along the Matterhorn corridor should pay close attention.
- Survey Access Requests – Right-of-way agents will likely ask for survey permission. This should always be limited, specific, and in writing.
- Timeline to Condemnation – Though the pipeline is expected to be in service by mid-2028, offers, petitions, and construction activity will begin much sooner.
Introduction
Hi, I’m Phil Hundl with an important pipeline alert regarding the Eiger Pipeline Project. Currently in its early stages, this project has garnered attention from various landowners who live along a well-known pipeline corridor. It’s part of another undertaking by WhiteWater, a name that might ring a bell if you were affected by their previous Matterhorn project. Let’s dive into what this could mean for you as a landowner.
The Eiger Express Pipeline Project: What We Know
This new project, known as the Eiger Express Pipeline, is an initiative believed to be spearheaded by WhiteWater. If the Matterhorn affected you, there’s a chance you could be impacted by Eiger as well. Much like its predecessor, the Eiger Pipeline is expected to traverse a well-known corridor, though deviations from this route are always possible during the planning stages. The specific path for this pipeline remains unresolved, prompting the need for vigilance among landowners.
What Landowners Need to Know
If you own land near the proposed route, it’s crucial to start paying close attention. Be aware that if approached by a right of way or acquisition agent, you must understand both your rights and the agents’ obligations. These agents will likely request permission to survey your property, a process you have the right to scrutinize. Remember, any agreement for survey access should be limited in scope and documented in writing.
Understanding the Pipeline Specifications
The Eiger Express Pipeline is anticipated to be similar to the Matterhorn, featuring a large diameter of 42 inches for high-pressure natural gas. Information currently suggests that the pipeline aims to be operational by the middle of 2028. While that date may seem distant, the steps leading up to this point, including the condemnation process, initial and final offers, and eventual construction, will begin much sooner.
Conclusion
Ultimately, the purpose of this communication is to alert those potentially affected by this new development. Being informed is your first step to making educated decisions about your property and rights. Whether you stand along the corridor or not, staying updated on the Eiger Express and other WhiteWater projects could be vital to maintaining control over your land. Stay vigilant and prepared for potential surveys or negotiations that may arise in the coming months.
