SUMMARY:Augusta BZA Consideration of ACP Construction Yard
DESCRIPTION:Augusta County Board of Zoning Appeals discussion – continued from January 4\, 2018 meeting. \nNews-Leader coverage of the January 4 meeting:  “The Augusta County Board of Zoning Appeals voted to delay making a decision Thursday on whether to issue the Atlantic Coast Pipeline a special use permit for a storage yard in Churchville. …. The marathon meeting lasted nearly four hours and drew over 250 people\, nearly all of whom were in opposition to the permit. Over 40 people addressed the board to speak against the project\, whereas less than five people spoke in favor of it. The board will take more time to consider the proposal and where to go from here and revisit the request at its meeting in February….” \nThere was a great turnout for the January 4 meeting – let’s keep up the pressure at the continued discussion on February 1! \nAgents for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline will be seeking permission to get a special use permit to construct a 34-acre construction materials yard near Churchville at the intersection of Scenic Highway (Rt. 42) and Union Church Road. Dominion’s plan is to clear and level the existing farmland in order to stockpile pipe\, fuel tanks\, sand bags\, silt fencing\, equipment parts\, etc. and to provide parking for construction equipment\, employee trucks\, and office trailers. If approved this would be the staging area for a significant area of ACP construction in western Virginia for 2 years! \nHere are just a few reasons why we should turn out as a community and ask that the BZA deny this application: \n\nThink about this lovely rural setting and imagine the amount of heavy truck and equipment traffic fanning out in every direction along these narrow country roads on a 24/7 basis.\nConsider how this will affect the area’s water quality with every rain and snow event creating sediment runoff and with the amount of leaking\, dripping fuel from vehicles and equipment.\nVisualize how the farmland will look with stacks of 40-foot long\, 42-inch diameter pipe and a row of portable toilets.\nAnd\, as usual\, Dominion has pulled a switcheroo – this is not even the location of the pipe yard that Dominion submitted to FERC for approval.\n\nThe above reasons as well as concern from VDOT that the location doesn’t meet site distance (and therefore they don’t recommend approval)\, the concern from the county that the project doesn’t meet county code for a rural setting because the applicant doesn’t live on site\, and that this is legally incompatible with the rural conservation zoning of the area are all sound and logical reasons why this application should not be approved. \nFurther\, there are so many questions that Dominion has not answered about the site. For starters there is no traffic count analysis to know exactly what the increased volume of heavy trucks and equipment that will travel these narrow roads. There is no materials list to know what hazardous products might be stored on site (such as blasting materials)\, and there is no stormwater management or erosion and sediment control analysis\, something that the State Water Control Board is also waiting for in regard to the ENTIRE route in Virginia. \nPlease come to Verona on Thursday February 1 and express your concern for this application. If you can’t attend (or in addition to attending)\, please communicate with the BZA board (click here for addresses) or email comments to the BZA secretary Sandy Bunch at sbunch@co.augusta.va.us and Community Development Director John Wilkinson at jwilkinson@co.augusta.va.us. Unlike Dominion\, the men and women on the BZA are from our community and care about your comments about our community. \nFor further information\, contact info@augustacountyalliance.org.

SUMMARY:Oral Arguments - BREDL vs Buckingham Board of Supervisors
DESCRIPTION:On January 29\, 2018\, in Buckingham Circuit Court\, residents opposed to the Atlantic Coast Pipeline compressor station will have their day in court.  Judge William Alexander will preside over oral arguments presented by opposing sides: E. M. Wright representing the defendant Buckingham County Board of Supervisors and Charles  M. Lollar representing the plaintiff Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League. \nAt issue are the pollution\, noise and unfair selection of the site in an historic African American community.  The case was initiated in 2017 by Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League working with local residents in the Union Hill community. In addition to BREDL and its chapter Concern for the New Generation\, thirteen local landowners living near the site of a proposed natural gas compression station are named in the petition. \nThe court hearing will begin at 11:00 AM on Monday\, January 29\, in Buckingham County Circuit Court (13061 West James Anderson Highway\, Buckingham VA 23921).  The hearing is expected to last an hour and a half.  Plaintiffs will hold a press conference immediately after the hearing. \nSynopsis of BREDL’s petition to the Court\, filed March 8\, 2017: \nTHE BLUE RIDGE ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE LEAGUE\, INC. et al\, v. Robert C. “Bobby” Jones\, Chair of Buckingham County Board of Supervisors\, et al\, Buckingham Co Cir. Ct. Case No. CL17000031-00 \nBlue Ridge Environmental Defense League\, a Virginia Corporation\, and its chapter Concern for the New Generation seek judicial review of the decision by the Buckingham County Board of Supervisors to grant special use permit 16-SUP236 for a natural gas compressor station in Buckingham County.  The Special Use Permit as approved by Buckingham County is contrary to existing zoning law and therefore invalid.  Further\, the action by the County was arbitrary and capricious.  Our goal is reversal and dismissal of the special use permit. The major issues presented are: 1) Excessive and harmful noise levels\, 2) Improper Local Governing Body Certification to Virginia\, 3) Improper zoning exception for pipeline as public utility\, and 4) Environmental justice under Commonwealth Energy Policy VAC § 67-101.

SUMMARY:Conservation Lobby Day
DESCRIPTION:Virginia Conservation Network organizes Conservation Lobby Day to ensure a strong conservation voice is heard early in the legislative session.

The Network’s Web page will be regularly updated with everything you need to know about this special day of action\, including a full schedule of events\, lobby appointment information\, prep-webinar information\, and what to expect.  \nConservation Lobby Day\nMonday\, January 22\, 2018 | 7:30 AM\nSt. Paul’s Episcopal Church | Richmond\, VA\nTickets $25 (student discount available)\nRegister today: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/conservation-lobby-day-tickets-41053844153 \nCoffee\, light breakfast\, and lunch will be served at the event. Attendees will also receive a copy of the 2018 Environmental Briefing Book.  \nPlease note the following:\n\nVirginia Conservation Network will be hosting a webinar to prep for Conservation Lobby Day — the date is still being determined. Experts in the conservation field will brief participants on top line items in the 2018 Virginia General Assembly session. We encourage everyone who registers for Conservation Lobby Day to tune into this webinar to get up to speed on environmental bills and issues.\nWe encourage everyone to wear something green on Conservation Lobby Day\, so that we can all identify each other in the General Assembly Building. Scarf\, tie\, sweater\, pants — just a few ideas!\nDue to the renovations taking place in the General Assembly Building\, legislator meetings will take place in the Pocahontas Building. This building is much smaller than the General Assembly Building; therefore\, we expect more limited access than in past years. We ask that those who register for Conservation Lobby Day do so understanding that meetings may be tricky to navigate due to these circumstances out of Virginia Conservation Network’s control.

SUMMARY:Conference Call:  New Ways to Fight Old Energy
DESCRIPTION:Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN) has been defending Virginia for years against new pipelines and compressor stations and fracked-gas power plants. But now it’s time to play offense and take the fight directly to the dirty energy companies who are the real source of the war against clean water\, landowner justice\, and a livable climate. \nHere are the details: \nWhat: Activist Conference Call to Learn about the Virginia Alternative Energy and Coastal Protection Act\nWhen: Tuesday\, January 9\, 7:00 pm\nWhere: Your living room! Call-in details will be emailed to you after you RSVP.  RSVP and register here.\nWhy: Let’s stop future pipelines before they even start\, and protect our communities in Virginia from climate change \nOn the call\, we’ll tell you all about the proposed Virginia Alternative Energy and Coastal Protection Act (or VCPA for short). This bill would provide over a BILLION dollars in revenue for Virginia to invest in energy efficiency\, solar and wind power\, and new job training for former fossil fuel workers in Southwest Virginia\, along with the first large-scale investments in coastal Virginia to combat the staggering impacts of sea-level rise. \nLate last year\, Gov. Terry McAuliffe used his executive power to commit Virginia to creating a “cap” on carbon emissions from power plants with a carbon auction that will create over $1.5 BILLION dollars in “carbon revenue” by 2030. But without legislation like VCPA\, that money will flow to the polluting companies themselves\, like Dominion Energy and Appalachian Power. Unconscionably\, it will be a windfall for the very companies who are the problem. The AECPA\, instead\, mandates that all the money from the auction of pollution permits must be invested in alternative energy\, job training\, and adaptation measures in the face of rapid climate change. \nWe’ll also update you on the latest news about the Mountain Valley and Atlantic Coast Pipelines. Last month\, both pipelines were given conditional approval by the Virginia State Water Control Board. But those “conditions” could be decisive in our legal and regulatory battles to stop the pipelines. Learn more on the call – and how you can help. \n

SUMMARY:Augusta BZA Consideration of ACP Construction Yard
DESCRIPTION:Come to the Augusta County BZA meeting Thursday Jan. 4\, 1:30 p.m. \nDespite nearly 3 ½ years of uniting our voices in opposition to Dominion’s disastrous pipeline plan\, the company continues to push forward with an unneeded project that will deeply and permanently decrease our community’s quality of life. On Thursday\, Jan. 4 at 1:30 p.m. at the Augusta County Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) meeting in the Augusta County Government Center in Verona\, Dominion will again try to force another piece of their plan in place. And\, as usual\, they will be doing this without bothering to do their homework and study the impacts to the neighborhood. \nAgents for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline will be seeking permission to get a special use permit to construct a 34-acre construction materials yard near Churchville at the intersection of Scenic Highway (Rt. 42) and Union Church Road. Dominion’s plan is to clear and level the existing farmland in order to stockpile pipe\, fuel tanks\, sand bags\, silt fencing\, equipment parts\, etc. and to provide parking for construction equipment\, employee trucks\, and office trailers. If approved this would be the staging area for a significant area of ACP construction in western Virginia for 2 years! \nHere are just a few reasons why we should turn out as a community and ask that the BZA deny this application: \n\nThink about this lovely rural setting and imagine the amount of heavy truck and equipment traffic fanning out in every direction along these narrow country roads on a 24/7 basis.\nConsider how this will affect the area’s water quality with every rain and snow event creating sediment runoff and with the amount of leaking\, dripping fuel from vehicles and equipment.\nVisualize how the farmland will look with stacks of 40-foot long\, 42-inch diameter pipe and a row of portable toilets.\nAnd\, as usual\, Dominion has pulled a switcheroo – this is not even the location of the pipe yard that Dominion submitted to FERC for approval.\n\nThe above reasons as well as concern from VDOT that the location doesn’t meet site distance (and therefore they don’t recommend approval)\, the concern from the county that the project doesn’t meet county code for a rural setting because the applicant doesn’t live on site\, and that this is legally incompatible with the rural conservation zoning of the area are all sound and logical reasons why this application should not be approved. \nFurther\, there are so many questions that Dominion has not answered about the site. For starters there is no traffic count analysis to know exactly what the increased volume of heavy trucks and equipment that will travel these narrow roads. There is no materials list to know what hazardous products might be stored on site (such as blasting materials)\, and there is no stormwater management or erosion and sediment control analysis\, something that the State Water Control Board is also waiting for in regard to the ENTIRE route in Virginia. \nPlease come to Verona on Thursday and express your concern for this application. If you can’t attend (or in addition to attending)\, please communicate with the BZA board (click here for addresses) or email comments to the BZA secretary Sandy Bunch at sbunch@co.augusta.va.us and Community Development Director John Wilkinson at jwilkinson@co.augusta.va.us. Unlike Dominion\, the men and women on the BZA are from our community and care about your comments about our community. \nFor further information\, contact info@augustacountyalliance.org. \n

SUMMARY:Press Conference + Petition Delivery to VA Marine Resources Commission
DESCRIPTION:Join us in Newport News on Thursday\, December 21\, 2017\, for a press conference and petition delivery to the Virginia Marine Resources Commission (VMRC)\, to demand the agency hold public hearings to hear affected landowners’ and communities’ concerns on the proposed Mountain Valley and Atlantic Coast fracked gas pipeline projects. \nWe will deliver a petition requesting that VMRC plan public hearings on MVP and ACP that are located convenient to landowners and communities on the proposed pipeline routes — rather than at the VMRC’s HQ\, 2+ hours away in Newport News. \nAdd your name to the petition:\nhttps://boldalliance.webaction.org/p/dia/action4/common/public/?action_KEY=24149 \nThe VMRC is responsible for issuing a state permit to both the MVP and ACP projects for specific water body crossings beneath the bed of streams and/or rivers with drainage areas greater than 5 square miles; these are considered to be State-owned subaqueous bottomlands of the Commonwealth (permit is a submerged Lands License under Virginia Administrative Code 4 VAC 20- 120-10 ET SEQ). \nThe VMRC is required to hold a public hearing as soon as there is a comment of protest to the projects (there has been). They typically hold public hearings in Newport News\, where their main offices are (2600 Washington Ave\, FL 3\, Newport News\, VA 23607). \nWe have a petition written to the head commissioner and the VMRC requesting that public hearings be held in proximity to the route of the proposed pipeline projects. (Sign the petition: https://boldalliance.webaction.org/p/dia/action4/common/public/?action_KEY=24149) \nWe\, the people\, have been sharing our concerns about the MVP and ACP projects for more than three years. We will continue to speak out and demand a just and fair process for the people of Virginia. We will be delivering our letter with this request on Thursday\, December 21\, 2017 and holding a brief Press Conference on site. \nPublic Comments can still be made to the VMRC; email them to Randy.Owen@mrc.virginia.gov\, specifying which project you are commenting on. \nThe link to VMRC permit tracking database is https://webapps.mrc.virginia.gov/public/habitat/ \nMVP Application #: 17-1609\nACP Application #: 15-1353\n(be sure to change the date range to 2015-2017)\nThe original application in under the “Application” tab.\nAny revisions\, protest letters\, letters of support\, etc. may be found under the “Additional Docs” tab.

SUMMARY:Candlelight Vigil Against the ACP & MVP Pipelines
DESCRIPTION:This past week\, the Virginia Water Control Board voted to approve the permit for the dangerous and unneeded Mountain Valley Pipeline for fracked gas. We strongly condemn this decision\, and the McAuliffe Administration’s support for the pipeline. \nNext week\, the Virginia Water Control Board will hold another round of hearings\, this time on the Atlantic Coast Pipeline. We have one last shot to make our voices heard and stand up against fracked-gas pipelines in Virginia. \nOur legal challenges could be the final chance to stop these monstrous pipelines that threaten our climate\, water\, and most vulnerable communities. But Governor McAuliffe has the authority to stop these pipelines. We need to make him see the light. \nJoin us Monday\, December 11th at 6:30 pm for a candlelight vigil at the Governor’s Mansion. Come after work\, come when you can\, invite your friends! Show the Governor the moral light and urge him to reject these pipelines once and for all. \nWe’ll gather on Governor’s Street behind the mansion and make our way over together. If you have trouble finding the meeting point or have any questions\, call Jamshid Bakhtiari at 757-386-8107.
