It has never been an issue for either Holly or Phillips to inspect their pipeline. I/we want them to prevent breaks and internal erosion of the pipe wall. If that was their only concern they would not allow concrete, asphalt, fences, roads and freeways to obstruct access to inspect their pipeline. To date to the best of my knowledge of 38 years they have never inspected the pipeline under the above along the Wasatch Front.

Each of you should have a copy of the original Easement verbiage if you don't contact me and I'll show you how to get it.

The Wasatch front needs more not less trees, more Oxygen not less. What is the oxygen potential of one tree? Provides enough 02 for one person.
To preserve the trees and vegetation around our homes.
Phillips Petroleum wants to remove the vegetation around our homes see below. Make no mistake they are after our trees and shrubs and will keep attacking and intimidating easement owners.
Why did we and not you receive these papers?
As near as we can tell there are only 3 of us that remain as part of the 1996 Federal Lawsuit. Mr. Packer Lawyers filed suit in United States District Court where the previous ruling was won.
Ruling in our favor Holly Petroleum owners now.
Below are documents between my counsel and theirs, that if read makes it clear their intent is to remove all trees and structures/playground toys etc. along their pipeline.

As of this date they have not come to clear the ground March 29, 2022.
Due to an outstanding effort of another property owner who made some calls to the Department of Transportation and discovered a piece of powerful information. There has been new surge of interest(Phillips non compliance with the current requirements) from USDOT forcing Philips compliance to inspecting the pipeline. The DOT regulations have not changed since 1976. If they pressure you with this it is a lie. Phillips has to visually inspect the lines Two times each month, 26 times a year. Philips gets to choose how they do it. They have chosen by air. This came from the Western Region USDOT in Colorado.
We have also setting up a go fund me page as we get the necessary funds to proceed to litigation before the trial date. If we are less than successful all moneys will be returned. I truly hope you feel the same about saving property. Without you we are letting this catastrophe proceed.
