DESCRIPTION:The purpose of the scoping meetings is to provide an opportunity for the public to verbally comment on the project modifications. You may attend at any time during the meeting\, as the primary goal of a scoping meeting is for FERC to hear and document environmental concerns. There will not be a formal presentation by Commission staff; however\, FERC will be available to answer questions about the FERC environmental review process. Representatives of the ACP will also be present to answer questions about the project. Verbal comments will be recorded by a court reporter and transcripts will be placed into the docket for the project and made available for public viewing on FERC’s eLibrary system. \nYou should submit comments to FERC (see here for instructions) AND attend meetings to comment verbally.

SUMMARY:Coal Ash Stories
DESCRIPTION:Over the past few months there has been fierce resistance across Virginia to Dominion’s coal ash disposal plans. Thousands called on the Department of Environmental Quality to revoke lax permits that allow Dominion to dump toxic wastewater into the James River\, with dozens of citizens risking arrest to protect our waters. But this fight is only beginning. In the coming weeks\, Dominion will apply for additional permits to leave its remaining coal ash waste in unlined pits that will leach heavy metals into our groundwater for years to come\, including at its Bremo Bluff Power Station south of Charlottesville. \nJoin CCAN\, the Virginia Student Environmental Coalition\, Appalachian Voices\, and more on Wednesday April 20\, 2016\, at the Jefferson Madison Central Library\, 201 E. Market St.\, Charlottesville\, for a film screening\, discussion\, and planning for next steps. \n“Coal Ash Stories” are four short films that paint a picture of what life looks like in communities threatened by toxic coal ash contamination across the country. Independent journalist Rhiannon Fionn will be at the screening as part of her nationwide tour to chronicle coal ash impacts for an upcoming documentary. Discussion following the film will focus on next steps to protect local drinking water and our treasured James River from Dominion’s toxic pollution. \nRSVP here for the screening of “Coal Ash Stories” next Wednesday in Charlottesville at the Jefferson-Madison Library at 7pm!

SUMMARY:Cut Carbon Now Rally
DESCRIPTION:Join us on April 2\, 2016 from 1-1:15 pm at the Free Speech Wall on the Downtown Mall in Charlottesville for Cut Carbon Now\, a brief action with prominent speakers and a clear message! Sponsored by Appalachian Voices and 350.org\, this is a Day of Action in all parts of the Commonwealth\, calling on Governor McAuliffe to live up to his commitment to deliver to the people of Virginia a truly Clean Power Plan that cuts carbon pollution long-term and safeguards health and prosperity for generations to come. \nDominion Resources\, the Richmond-based parent company of Dominion Virginia Power\, is heavily invested in the natural gas sector\, primarily transmission and storage. That has led Dominion to lobby for an implementation plan that covers only existing power plants. \nExcluding new sources would leave the company free to build as many new natural gas-burning power plants in the state as it wants\, locking in years of increased carbon pollution\, and further boosting demand for fracked gas and pipeline capacity. Dominion’s plans call for more than 9\,500 megawatts of new gas generation in Virginia\, equivalent in carbon impact to building eight average-sized coal plants in the state. \nMcAuliffe can do what Dominion wants\, or he can do the right thing for the climate. He can’t do both. \nAlso\, please note: we are also asking that during the press event we avoid having No Pipeline signs out – we want to focus attention just on the program\, which is about McAuliffe’s role in charting a long-term course for cutting carbon pollution from power plants.

SUMMARY:"Community Advisory Group"
DESCRIPTION:Friends of Buckingham County\, Virginia invites you:\nThursday evening January 28th from 6 -8:30 PM – the last of the three meetings that Dominion scheduled for a small group of citizens in Buckingham. This is what Dominion is calling a “Community Advisory Group.” We are tasked with giving them “advice” on what we want from a 41\,000 HP plus massive industrial compressor station that will pollute our air\, compromise our health and change our rural way of life forever. But we don’t want a compressor station! We want our lives to be free from the toxic emissions\, the constant noise\, the 200 ft 24 hour lights and the ongoing pervasive threats to our safety. We want a future! Please plan to come and let Dominion know that we don’t want to help them plan this monstrosity. We don’t want to see it here at all!   The meeting will be held at the Agricultural Center building in Buckingham Courthouse Village on Route 60. It is located between the Art Center and the Buckingham County Health Department and Buckingham Administration buildings.

SUMMARY:Intervenors Workshop\, 2nd Chance
DESCRIPTION:If you haven’t signed up to be an intervenor\, we’re holding another workshop to help you do so.  Stop by any time between 1 and 5.  What is an “intervenor?” According to FERC’s Frequently Asked Questions\, “An intervenor is an official party to a proceeding and enjoys distinct advantages over those who only file comments. Intervenors have the right to: participate in hearings before FERC’s administrative law judges; file briefs; file for rehearing of a Commission decision; have legal standing in a Court of Appeals if they challenge the Commission’s final decision.” FERC notes\, “As a general rule\, you should intervene when you may be materially affected by FERC’s decision on a specific case\, project or policy. Intervention gives you the right to challenge FERC’s decisions in Court. Non-intervenors can not take the FERC to court.” Those materially affected include all landowners on the route\, and others with strong interests\, such as neighbors\, and businesses that fear direct impacts. The goal of this workshop is to assist people in registering as intervenors. More detailed FERC information on intervention is here.

SUMMARY:Friends of Nelson Public Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, June 10\, 2015\, 7:00 p.m.  Friends of Nelson Public Meeting at Rockfish Valley Community Center.  Many thanks to Donny Williams\, organizer with We Are Cove Point and Calvert Citizens for a Healthy Community-CCHC\, who spoke about the perils that have befallen Lusby\, Maryland as Dominion has aggressively and ruthlessly moved in to expand and convert Cove Point into the largest exporter of fracked natural gas on the East Coast. He gave us a great overview of Dominion’s Cove Point LNG export terminal – how it was born and its current status. His presentation offered us direct experience of how Dominion and the regulatory process treats small towns and the worries of their pesky populations.  Dominion has been intentionally vague about all of these gas infrastructure projects\, but as we learn more and get to know folks from groups outside of the ACP route\, it becomes clear that all of these projects are scarily intertwined. Our support of Cove Point\, Myersville\, and West Virginia are very important!
