title
Request for approval to execute an Encroachment Agreement with ExxonMobil Pipeline Company LLC, for roadway pipeline casing extension, in connection with Schiel Road 2, from West of Fairfield Place Drive to West of Mason Road, UPIN 18103N302203, Precinct 3.

Background and Discussion:
The Schiel Road 2 project involves the expansion of an existing two-lane roadway into a four-lane boulevard section, featuring a 32-foot-wide raised median and storm sewer improvements. As part of the roadway expansion, it is necessary to encase the existing pipeline from right-of-way (ROW) to right-of-way. The pipeline encasement is a requirement to ensure that the expanded roadway infrastructure is adequately protected, and to minimize future maintenance impacts on the roadway and median improvements. Extending the encasement across the full width of the ROW is critical due to the increased roadway width and the addition of new storm sewer facilities, both of which elevate the risk profile for underground utilities. Ensuring the pipeline is properly encased now will protect the integrity of the pipeline and the roadway infrastructure, while also reducing the likelihood of future conflicts, relocations, or costly repairs.
Expected Impact:
The pipeline encasement from ROW to ROW will enhance the long-term durability and safety of both the pipeline and the expanded roadway. It will reduce the risk of pipeline exposure or damage during or after construction and minimize the need for future excavations that could disrupt traffic or damage the newly constructed improvements. Additionally, this proactive measure will help maintain the overall functionality of the storm sewer system and preserve the integrity of the 32-foot raised median, supporting the County’s goal of delivering a resilient and low-maintenance transportation corridor.
Alternative Options:
Another option is to leave the existing pipeline as-is without additional encasement. This approach would pose a significant danger to public, long-term risk, as any future maintenance or failure of the unencased pipeline would require open cut excavation across the newly expanded roadway, leading to costly repairs, disruption to traffic, and potential damage to storm sewer infrastructure and the raised median.
