I think this would fall under legitimate ED use by virtue of the pipeline being vital infrastructure. We're not talking about hotels, supermarkets or casinos.

From what I've seen locally, putting a pipeline in is usually a temporary disruption. A pipeline crossed a farm about a mile from me and the pipeline itself is 8 feet deep and the farmer has returned to farming right over the top of it.

In his case they did lease some of his land for some permanent infrastructure but the contract keeps the rent comparable to the changing value of the land. He just farms around the infrastructure.

Yup. Vital infrastructure = public use.
