Transmission lines are permitted by the PSC (the so-called Article VII Process), once they reach a certain size and length. Permitting bestows Eminent Domain power on the corporation.

Bear in mind, this is a sort of wiki - it's everybody's place to share what they know. The guy whose voice that was lives in another state (and in fact it's someone you correspond with regularly). Doubtless he can't be an expert on every state's regulatory status. Look forward to your further input as you continue learning more about the pipeline situation in NYS. Thanks for your input, Stan.

About gathering lines: "You also need to know some details about the pipeline: *If it’s a gas gathering (production) pipeline, then it’s regulated by an agency in your state." This is from: http://un-naturalgas.org/weblog/2009/10/everything-you-wanted-to-know-about-pipelines-but-were-afraid-to-ask/ just above where I am writing now: This statement is absolutely wrong. In NYS , gathering lines less than 125 PSI (there are lots in Chenango Cty.) are not permitted, not regulated, not inspected, not odorized, not mapped formally. This info is from the Deputy Director of the DPS/PSC at a meeting in Binghamton, NY 10-26-09. It was functionally confirmed by several active residents of Chenango Cty. The rules are different for higher pressure lines. Stan Scobie, Binghamton, NY 11-5-09 MISTAKE!
