SUMMARY:Pipeline Summit
DESCRIPTION:The Allegheny-Blue Ridge Alliance (ABRA) and the POWHR Coalition will co-host a Pipeline Summit on Saturday\, November 12\, 2016\, in Natural Bridge\, VA. The 10 am to 4 pm meeting is designed to aid participants working to defeat the pipelines proposed across the Allegheny-Blue Ridge region with improved information\, messages and skills to carry on their efforts in 2017. \nThere is a $10 charge for lunch and beverages (a wide choice of sandwiches and salads will be available) to be paid upon your arrival. \nThe need for reforming property rights laws\, particularly eminent domain\, will be a major subject addressed. Participating in this important discussion will be: \n\nLarry Shapiro\, Associate Director for Program Development\, Rockefeller Family Fund\, New York City. He is also President of the Board of the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEFFA)\, the organization that released a study in April on the risks of pipeline expansions in the Appalachian region. Mr. Shapiro convened a national conference in June on “Pipelines and Eminent Domain.” He will be discussing a new initiative that seeks to reform the ability of pipeline companies to utilize eminent domain laws.\nRichard Averitt\, CEO at Digital ReLab and a Nelson County\, VA resident. Mr. Averitt has been significantly impacted by the proposed ACP. A 100-acre property he and his father\, Dick Averitt\, purchased in the Rockfish Valley portion of Nelson County\, VA to build a resort is in the path of the ACP\, thus preventing the resort development from proceeding. The resort would create 50 full-time and 50-75 part-time jobs\, significantly more permanent employment than the ACP would create in the entire Commonwealth of Virginia.\nKate Wofford\, Executive Director\, Shenandoah Valley Network\, an organization whose mission is to maintain healthy and productive rural landscapes and communities\, to protect and restore natural resources\, and to strengthen and sustain the region’s agricultural economy. Ms. Wofford will discuss the environmental easement issue in Virginia and also serve as the panel’s moderator.\n\nClick Here to Register

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!
