Yes I have, they have both. It isn't all mountains in every location.

Well for starters I've worked in the industry for a few decades, I've been a lead engineer on several major pipelines have a decent understanding that all pipelines in the US are buried unless there is an extreme reason not to bury them.
Secondly, this isn't the only discussion about this pipeline. A little searching can provide some direct information.
http://mountainvalleypipeline.info/
The pipeline, a joint venture of EQT Corp. and NextEra Energy, would transport natural gas at high pressure from West Virginia through a buried, 42-inch-diameter steel pipe.
I've been involved in preliminary planning and permitting of US pipeline, mostly Natural Gas like this one. This one isn't unique and different.
It is in all the counties listed for the project.
No, that certainly wouldn't lead to...
"The breadth and length of a pipeline might take 80% to 90% of some properties. Not everyone owns 1,000+ acres."
I've shown that the pipeline is buried, the owner of the land retains the land. The easement will limit the future use, just like all pipelines, which is why owners get paid for the easement, just like a power line, water line etc.
What is your objection at this point?
Perhaps you will find some undeveoped small land that might be the case. But they won't install up against someone home, the footage separation requirements would prevent that.
You post rather confusing comments.
You have a good night, Happy Easter and God Bless.
Finally a relevant response.
My comments aren’t confusing, you just aren’t half as bright as you think you are.
