We have a major gas pipeline that goes through the back easement of our yard, it is one of the main supply lines to the city. The gas company that owns it does a weekly fly over to check the soil with special cameras to make sure that there's nothing leaching out into the ground. There hasn't been any maintenance on the area for quite a while so they are going through and clearing it out so the plane's cameras can see more clearly. Unfortunately that means we had to lose a big row of bushes and a large tree at the back of our yard. Even though we didn't have to worry about moving a shed or pool like some of the neighbors, we were still disappointed to lose what had made it through our hot, dry summer. The company is just trying to maintain safety procedures and they tried to be nice about it. We had a large, dead oak tree in the middle of our yard and they agreed to help us out by removing it at no cost since they had to take out everything else that we wanted to keep. It was very loud in our yard today but provided a lot of entertainment for the kids.
