Cow Knob Salamander, Reddish Knob. Photo by Steven Johnson. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has just announced a scoping period and scoping meetings to take your comments on the Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP).
They want to know if you think the Atlantic Coast Pipeline belongs in our national forests.
Comments are due June 2nd.
There are two important questions to address in your comments:
1) Should the USFS issue a right of way for the Pipeline?
The Forest Service is calling for comments on whether or not to issue a "right-of-way grant" that would allow the Atlantic Coast Pipeline to cross and occupy National Forest lands.
2) Should the George Washington National Forest amend its 10 year plan to allow the ACP to cross the forest?
Because the ACP does not utilize a designated utility corridor through the George Washington National Forest (GWNF) the Land Resource and Management Plan (LRMP) for the GWNF would need to be amended to allow the pipeline across.
