Friend of the family had a similar problem with his farm. They wanted to put a gas line through and he didn't want it. Told them no and while they were getting lined up to take him to court he did some research and hired a lawyer. Knowing the law and having an attorney he got codicils on the ROW. He got to specify what kind of vegetation they had to put back when they were done, got a pretty good description of the site work they had to do before and after (made them remove top soil & store it, do their thing and then put the top soil back), prohibited them from having anything that came out of the ground in the way of pipes, pumps, posts and such, and made sure the ROW was exclusive (meaning they couldn't sell or lease the ROW to other entities) and the gas company wasn't able to cross or work in a planted field without paying damages prior to their entry. He was really happy he took the trouble, when they installed the gas line they wanted to cross wheat fields that were planted, they had to pay up or come back later (they paid), about 7 years after the gas line was installed the gas company leased the ROW to the power company for an electric line, the crew installing the poles and power lines had a rude awakening when they got to his farm, the sheriff got involved and explained the meaning of the phrase "criminal trespass" power companies lawyers looked at the ROW documents and couldn't do anything without renegotiating a new easement. They ended up running the power line around the friend's farm.
