Dominion Transmission plans to blast and drill trenches 24’-30’ deep and wide through hundreds of streams and rivers in a pathway estimated at 347 feet wide, the length of a football field.

According to the WVDEP Public Notice “the ACP will permanently impact an estimated 7,341 linear feet of streams and 4.4 acres of wetlands due to permanent access road improvement.”

Forty million residents of 20 states, Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia depend on the three headwaters on two mountains in Pocahontas and Randolph County, West Virginia for their daily water needs.

Write now to: WV Department of Environmental Quality Division of Water and Waste Management, 401 Certification Program, 601 57th Street SE, Charleston, WV 25304.

Sincerely and Seriously,

Lauren D. Ragland
