SUMMARY:DEIS Comment Writing Workshop - Dillwyn
DESCRIPTION:Want to help but don’t know what to say or how to submit your comments? We can help. We need your comments. The Draft Environmental Impact Statement was released a while ago and virtually erased Buckingham from the map. The site of the proposed 54\,000 Hp highly toxic compressor station\, the only one in Virginia\, and approximately 25 miles of highly explosive pipeline through farmland and highly historic districts is deemed by FERC to have “no significant impact”. We know better and we must let FERC know! It is important for us to assure that the FERC record is complete and everyone’s concerns are documented. We have until April 6th to get in our comments and we must act fast.  On March 25th we are having a comment writing session to help guide people in making comments. It will be from 11AM to 4 PM at South Central Counseling Group office (near the Drugstore in Dillwyn and across from the Buckingham Branch railroad office). \nIf you can help and have a laptop please plan to bring it along. More info: call Chad at 434 969 3229 or 434 806 6332

SUMMARY:FERC Public Hearing on ACP DEIS - Monterey
DESCRIPTION:FERC public hearing in Monterey on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the ACP.  This is one of a series of meetings in our area. \nFERC says\, “If you wish to provide verbal comments\, the Commission staff will hand out numbers in the order of your arrival. Number distribution will be discontinued at 8:00 p.m. in order to ensure all comments are received by closing time. Comments will be taken until 9:00 p.m.” \nThere will be a 3-minute time limit for commenters. Assuming 15 minutes for preliminaries at the start and with perhaps a minute between speakers\, that means a maximum of 60 speakers. At the FERC scoping hearing in Nelson County in March 2015\, only 78 of the 203 people who signed up were able to speak before that meeting ended at 10:45 pm. Since we know from our experience at the 2015 hearings in Nelson and elsewhere that Dominion will try to front-load the commenters with pipeline supporters (many from out of area)\, come early to sign up to speak! \nVerbal comments will be recorded by a FERC-provided court reporter\, and the transcripts of comments will be posted in the ACP docket on the publicly accessible FERC Web site. FERC-posted transcripts from earlier hearings were often incomplete and inaccurate; we recommend you provide the court reporter with a written version of your comments\, and that you also submit them directly to FERC following the hearing.

SUMMARY:FERC Public Hearing on ACP DEIS - Farmville
DESCRIPTION:FERC public hearing in Farmville on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the ACP.  This is one of a series of meetings in our area. \nFERC says\, “If you wish to provide verbal comments\, the Commission staff will hand out numbers in the order of your arrival. Number distribution will be discontinued at 8:00 p.m. in order to ensure all comments are received by closing time. Comments will be taken until 9:00 p.m.” \nThere will be a 3-minute time limit for commenters. Assuming 15 minutes for preliminaries at the start and with perhaps a minute between speakers\, that means a maximum of 60 speakers. At the FERC scoping hearing in Nelson County in March 2015\, only 78 of the 203 people who signed up were able to speak before that meeting ended at 10:45 pm. Since we know from our experience at the 2015 hearings in Nelson and elsewhere that Dominion will try to front-load the commenters with pipeline supporters (many from out of area)\, come early to sign up to speak! \nVerbal comments will be recorded by a FERC-provided court reporter\, and the transcripts of comments will be posted in the ACP docket on the publicly accessible FERC Web site. FERC-posted transcripts from earlier hearings were often incomplete and inaccurate; we recommend you provide the court reporter with a written version of your comments\, and that you also submit them directly to FERC following the hearing.

SUMMARY:Community Mapping Project Launch and Fundraiser Dinner
DESCRIPTION:Friends of Buckingham (FoB) and Concern for the New Generation [CNG] are holding a launch event at Union Hill Baptist Church for the door-to-door project to create a “community map” of the people who would be most impacted by the Buckingham ACP compressor station\, if built. \n2 PM: CNG will hold a community dinner fund-raiser in the church dining room downstairs. Note: this is not potluck. \nLocal residents of the Union Hill/ Woods Corner proposed compressor station neighborhood will lead teams with volunteers from Charlottesville in this effort. Even though the Board of Supervisors approved a compressor station special use permit\, there are still lots of things we can do together to protect people living here in Buckingham from toxic air emissions and destruction of places of historic importance and pride. \nWe need every neighboring household’s help! \nPlease come on Saturday to join this effort and open your door to teams working on your street.
