If the developer has a legitimate beef he can seek compensation from Kinder Morgan but I can't believe he invested money in buying property that was subject to a utility right-of-way.

Alberta and Saskatchewan (and B.C. for that matter) have had thousands of kilometres of pipelines running through our provinces with little or no permanent impact from the odd pipeline failure.
