What happened

Property owners alleged that Plains All American Pipeline failed to use, operate, and maintain the Las Flores Pipeline System (formerly Lines 901 and 903) for many years, causing the easement contracts and right-of-way grants to terminate. The pipeline company has agreed to settle these claims and also agreed not to install a second pipeline and to make reasonable efforts to obtain governmental approval for automatic shutoff valves.

Do you qualify?

You qualify if you own real property through which the Las Flores Pipeline System passes pursuant to Right-of-Way Grants or condemnation as of the opt-out deadline (July 15, 2024), and you did not opt out of the settlement.

Common questions

How much does the Las Flores Pipeline System Settlement pay?
Estimated payout: From $50,000. The total settlement fund is $70M. Actual amounts depend on how many valid claims are filed — most settlements divide a fixed fund pro rata, so a higher claim rate means a smaller individual check. An "up to" figure is a cap, not a guarantee.
Is the Las Flores Pipeline System Settlement notice real, or a scam?
JND Legal Administration is the settlement administrator for this case. Claims are filed at lasflorespipelinesystemsettlement.com. Filing a class action claim is always free — no legitimate settlement charges you to claim, and no administrator will ask for payment, a gift card, or your full Social Security number by email or text. If a notice asks for any of those, it is not from the administrator. When in doubt, ignore the link you were sent and go to the official settlement website directly.
When will payments from the Las Flores Pipeline System Settlement be sent?
Class action payouts typically take 12 to 24 months after the claim deadline, and longer if the settlement is appealed. The final approval hearing for this case is set for September 17, 2024; no payments can be issued before a settlement receives final approval.
