Legislative
intent.
1
It
is
the
goal
of
the
general
assembly
that
the
right
of
2
eminent
domain
will
not
be
granted
for
a
hazardous
liquid
3
pipeline
except
when
every
other
reasonably
available
4
alternative
has
been
diligently
exhausted.
Further
goals
of
5
the
general
assembly
are
to
promote
the
production
of
energy,
6
derived
from
crops
grown
and
resources
gathered
within
the
7
state
of
Iowa,
and
elsewhere
within
the
United
States,
to
8
ensure
long-term,
economically
competitive
and
diverse
sources
9
of
energy
for
Iowans,
for
citizens
of
the
United
States,
10
and
for
our
customers
abroad;
to
support
agriculture
in
the
11
state
of
Iowa,
and
the
employment
of
Iowans
in
agricultural
12
work
and
in
affiliated
industries;
to
encourage
investment
13
in
Iowa
agriculture,
and
in
the
facilities
needed
to
process
14
our
produce
and
to
deliver
useful
products
to
consumers;
to
15
provide
reasonable
conditions
for
the
planning
and
construction
16
of
linear
infrastructure
projects
that
will
serve
the
public
17
convenience
and
necessity;
and
to
vindicate
and
safeguard
the
18
property
rights
of
all
Iowans,
including
those
who
prefer
not
19
to
accommodate
the
construction
of
a
pipeline
on
their
land,
20
as
well
as
those
who
would
choose
to
convey
an
easement
for
21
valuable
consideration
in
a
voluntary
transaction.

16
to
the

subject
to
the
proposed
easement,

A
statement
that
the
landowner
and
the
pipeline
company
20
may
agree
to
different
terms
not
contrary

but
that
21
such
provisions
shall
be
set

conveyance
of
an
easement.
23
(3)
An
offer
of
cash

If,
however,
after
no
less

six
months,
the

company
is
unable

for
easements
sufficient
31

the
pipeline,
the
company
shall

a
notice
setting
forth
all
of

acquire
using
eminent
domain,
the
company
shall
file
with
the
16
commission
all
of
the
following:
17
(1)
Evidence
establishing
that
the
company
diligently
18
exhausted
all
alternatives
to
assemble
a
continuous
route
19
for
the
project
exclusively
by
means
of
voluntarily
conveyed
20
easements,
and
that
it
was
unable
to
do
so
for
one
or
more
of
21
the
following
reasons:
22
(a)
Inability
to
obtain
voluntary
agreements
for
continuous
23
easements
on
adjoining
parcels
within
a
county
where
an
24
informational
meeting
was
held,
or
outside
that
county
but
25
within
five
miles
of
the
center
line
of
the
proposed
pipeline
26
route
in
that
county,
due
to
rejection
by
landowners
of
offers
27
based
on
a
valuation
methodology
approved
by
the
commission,
or
28
due
to
the
refusal
of
landowners
to
engage
in
communications
29
with
the
company
pursuant
to
subsection
4,
paragraph
“d”
.
30
(b)
Technical
or
engineering
infeasibility
of

due
to

other
natural
features,

or

in

due
to

other
natural
features
or
land
2
conditions,
presence
of
occupied
or
other
man-made
structures,
3
or
if
the
commission
finds
on
engineering
evidence
that
4
safety
would
otherwise
be
adversely
impacted
by
a
route
using
5
only
voluntary
easements
and
such
safety
would
be
materially
6
improved
by
use
of
a
route
facilitated
by
eminent
domain.
7
(d)
Economic
infeasibility
of
the
pipeline
due
to
excessive
8
easement
acquisition
costs
for
alternative
routes
to
avoid
the
9
use
of
eminent
domain.
For
purposes
of
this
subparagraph,
10
economic
infeasibility
shall
be
shown
by
clear
and
convincing
11
evidence.

why

eminent
domain.

The
inclusion
of

assembly.
2
This
bill
relates
to

will
not
be
granted
for
a
hazardous
7
liquid
pipeline
except
when
every
other
reasonably
available
8
alternative
has
been
diligently
exhausted.
Further
stated
9
goals
include
promoting
the
production
of
energy,

Iowa
12
agriculture,
providing

13
and

of
linear
infrastructure
projects,
and
14
vindicating
and
safeguarding
the
property
rights
of
all
Iowans.
15
Under
current
law,
a
pipeline
company
seeking
a
permit
16
for
a
new
hazardous
liquid
pipeline
must
give
notice
of
17
the
informational
meeting
to
each
landowner
affected
by
the
18
proposed
project
and
each
person
in
possession
of
or
residing
19
on
the
property.
The
notice
must
contain
certain
information.
20
The
bill
provides
that,
in
addition
to
the
currently
required
21
information,
a

of
the
template
easement
to
be
used
22
for

land
for
the
project,
a
description
of
the
23
methodology
to
be
used
in
determining
the
value
of
the
easement
24
for
initial
offers,
and
a
statement
of
the
policy
for
claiming
25
damages
must
be
included
in
the
notice.
26
The
bill
allows
any
person
to
file
comments
with
the
27
commission
regarding
the
template
easement
or
valuation
28
methodology
within
15
days
of
the
filing,
and
allows
the
29
pipeline
company
to
respond
to
the
comments
within
30
days
of
30
the
company’s
filing.
31
The
bill
requires
the
commission
to
issue
an
order
32
accepting,
rejecting,
or
requiring
modification
of
the
template
33
easement
or

template
easement
and

methodology
must
not
delay
the
1
informational
meeting
or
the
company’s
ability
to
negotiate
2
with
landowners,
but
stipulates
that
no
easement
can
be
3
finalized
until
the
template
easement
is
approved.
4
The
bill
allows
a
pipeline
company
to
communicate
for
5
easement
negotiations
with
landowners
within
the
county
where
6
an
informational
meeting
is
held
or
within
a
five-mile
corridor
7
of
a
proposed
pipeline
following
a
public
information
meeting
8
regardless
of
whether
the
landowner
received
prior
notice
by
9
mail.
The
bill
states
individual
notice
to
landowners
prior
to
10
initiating
communication
is
not
required
by
a
pipeline
company.
11
The
bill
requires
the
pipeline
company
to
provide
landowners
12
who
did
not
receive
notice
of
the
informational
meeting
by
mail
13
copies
of
the
informational
meeting
materials
presented
by
the
14
commission,
the
consumer
advocate,
and
the
company.
15
The
bill
requires
a
pipeline
company
to
provide
a
written
16
description
of
the
opt-out
procedure
during
the
initial
17
communication
between
the
company
and
the
landowner.
The
18
bill
requires
the
pipeline
company
to
provide
landowners
19
who
did
not
receive
notice
of
the
informational
meeting
by
20
mail
copies
of
the
informational
meeting
materials
presented
21
by
the
commission,
the
consumer
advocate,
and
the
company.
22
The
opt-out
procedure
allows
a
landowner
to
decline
further
23
communication
with
the
company.
To
initiate
this
opt-out
24
procedure,
the
landowner
must
inform
the
pipeline
company
25
through
verbal
or
written
notice
and
send
the
Iowa
utilities
26
commission
(commission)
a
communication
through
mail
or
by
27
electronic
means
indicating
the
landowner’s
intent
to
opt
28
out.
The
bill
requires
the
notice
to
be
sent
within
seven
29
days
from
the
time
the
landowner
is
provided
with
a
written
30
easement
offer.
The
bill
directs
the
commission
to
forward
31
the
communication
from
the
landowner
to
the
company.
Once
the
32
pipeline
company
has
received
notice
by
the
landowner
of
the
33
landowner’s
intent
to
opt
out,
the
bill
prohibits
the
pipeline
34
company
from
initiating
any
further
contact
with
the
landowner
35

for
the
purpose
of
an
easement
transaction,
except
that
the
1
company
may
send
one
or
more
letters
by
certified
mail
to
the
2
landowner
making
an
offer
or
soliciting
further
communication.
3
The
opt
out
may
be
rescinded
by
the
landowner
by
notifying
4
the
pipeline
company
and
the
commission
and
must
be
received
5
within
seven
calendar
days
after
the
notice
of
refusal.
The
6
bill
provides
that
unless
the
landowner
rescinds
the
refusal,
7
the
landowner’s
land
is
deemed
unavailable
for
an
easement
8
agreement.
9
The
bill
provides
that
certain
requirements
are
only
10
applicable
to
a
hazardous
liquid
pipeline
for
which
a
pipeline
11
company
requests
authority
to
use
eminent
domain
to
acquire
12
interests
in
land.
13
The
bill
requires
a
pipeline
company
proposing
a
hazardous
14
liquid
pipeline
exceeding
20
miles
in
length
within
the
state
15
of
Iowa
to
make
a
diligent
effort
to
assemble
a
route
made
16
exclusively
of
voluntary
easements.
A
company
will
not
be
17
eligible
to
request
the
authority
of
eminent
domain
unless
a
18
diligent
effort
is
shown
to
the
commission.
19
The
bill
requires
a
pipeline
company
to
provide
to
the
20
landowner
a
description
of
the
proposed
project
and
the
21
easement
rights
the
company
seeks
to
acquire,
and
request
22
permission
to
conduct
a
civil
survey
after
initiating
23
communication
with
a
landowner
to
acquire
an
easement.
24
If
a
civil
survey
is
conducted
and
the
land
is
found
25
unsuitable
for
the
pipeline,
the
bill
requires
the
company
26
to
provide
the
landowner
written
notice
of
the
finding
and
27
file
a
copy
of
the
notice
with
the
commission.
Otherwise,
the
28
bill
allows
the
company
to
submit
to
the
landowner
a
written
29
offer
for
purchase
of
an
easement
within
90
business
days
after
30
completion
of
the
civil
survey.
The
bill
directs
that
before
31
filing
an
application
requesting
eminent
domain,
the
pipeline
32
company
must
submit
such
offer
to
the
owner
of
the
land
that
33
might
be
used
to
assemble
a
route
not
including
that
land
for
34
which
eminent
domain
is
requested.
The
bill
requires

of
1
easements,
along
with
a
statement
of
relevant
requirements
2
under
state
law
and
commission
rules,
a
statement
that
the
3
landowner
and
the
pipeline
company
may
agree
to
different
terms
4
that
will
be
expressly
stated
in
the
contract,
and
an
offer
of
5
cash
compensation,
which
may
differ
from
those
offered
to
other
6
landowners.
7
The
bill
requires
a
pipeline
company
to
seek
execution
8
of
contracts
for
voluntary
easements
within
one
year
of
the
9
initial
communication
with
the
landowners
within
a
particular
10
county.
If
after
no
less
than
six
months
the
company
has
been
11
unable
to
execute
sufficient
easement
contracts
to
assemble
a
12
route,
the
bill
directs
the
company
to
file
with
the
commission
13
a
notice
that
must
include
the
parcels
for
which
no
agreement
14
was
reached
and
for
which
eminent
domain
is
sought,
or
that
15
would,
if
an
easement
were
granted,
provide
an
alternative
to
16
each
eminent
domain
parcel,
the
names
of
the
owners
of
the
17
parcels,
a
list
of
contacts
made
relating
to
each
previously
18
identified
parcel
that
includes
the
date
and
method
of
each
19
contact
and
a
brief
description
of
the
issues
causing
an
20
impasses
for
that
parcel,
and
either
a
request
for
extension
21
to
further
negotiate
or
a
statement
that
no
agreement
can
be
22
reached
for
each
parcel.
The
bill
directs
this
data
to
be
held
23
confidential
and
such
data
is
not
subject
to
disclosure
in
24
response
to
a
request
under
Code
chapter
22.
25
For
any
easement
the
pipeline
company
seeks
to
acquire
using
26
eminent
domain,
the
bill
requires
the
company
to
file
with
the
27
commission
evidence
establishing
that
the
company
diligently
28
exhausted
all
alternatives
to
assemble
a
continuous
route
for
29
the
project
exclusively
through
voluntarily
conveyed
easements
30
and
a
statement
setting
forth
why
the
company
requires
an
31
easement
on
the
specific
parcel
for
which
the
company
seeks
32
eminent
domain.
33
The
bill
allows
the
commission
to
extend
deadlines
34
established
in
the
bill
upon
a
showing
of
good
cause.
