479A.24  Particular damage claims.

1.  The loss of gain by, or the death or injury of livestock caused by the interruption or relocation of normal feeding of the livestock due to the construction or repair of a pipeline is a compensable loss and shall be so recognized by a pipeline company.

2.  A claim for damage for future crop deficiency within the easement strip shall not be precluded from renegotiation under section 6B.52 on the grounds that it was apparent at the time of settlement unless the settlement expressly releases the pipeline company from claims for damage to the productivity of the soil. The landowner shall notify the company thirty days prior to harvest in each year to assess crop deficiency.

3.  With the exception of claims for damage to drain tile and future crop deficiency, landowners and tenants must submit in writing their claims for damages caused by installation of the pipeline within one year of completion of installation of a pipeline as determined by the county board of supervisors.
