GWNF calls for comments on pipeline survey

1/5/2015

Picture
Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC, has applied for a special use permit to survey a route across the George Washington National Forest! The Forest Service is asking for public comment on whether to allow this survey across our public lands. The Virginia Wilderness Committee opposes the construction of the pipeline because of the inevitable damage it would cause to the ecological integrity and scenic beauty of the national forest lands it passes through. To learn more about the pipeline project, please see our pipeline page.

Public comment on the pipeline survey permit is DUE ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 9, 2015. There are several ways to contact the Forest Service, including via email (comments-southern-georgewashington-jefferson@fs.fed.us) and fax (540-265-5145). More information such as maps and the Forest Supervisor's letter requesting comment is available on the Forest Service's pipeline project website.

Please take a moment to let the Forest Service know your thoughts and concerns about the construction of the pipeline and the impact it would have on our public lands.
