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.

SUMMARY:Cville Rising: Stop the Atlantic Coast Pipeline

Join us\, to find out more and help us build a (peaceful) army to stop this thing…because nothing less is acceptable.  If Standing Rock has shown us one thing\, it’s that people power matters. We have to show up. Will you join us?  The biggest difference between the ACP and the DAPL\, is that construction hasn’t started yet. Dominion hope to start construction in the fall. We NEED to STOP them. We HAVE to STOP them…. \n“Because goodness knows\, we can’t depend on our politicians.  It’s down to us\, the people.  Join us to find out more and see how you can get involved.”

SUMMARY:Augusta County ACP Route Landowner Meeting
DESCRIPTION:If you are an Augusta County landowner with land in the footprint of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline or any access roads\, please join us this Thursday\, December 15\, 2016\, at 6:30 pm at the Augusta County Government Center. Come learn your rights as a landowner\, and how you can join together as a community to stand strong against the Atlantic Coast Pipeline. \nDespite what you might have heard\, this pipeline is not a done deal. You have rights as a landowner. We want to help you understand those rights. \nDominion does not have the right to an easement through your property UNLESS the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) grants it the power of eminent domain. That has not happened. Even if FERC ultimately grants Dominion the right of eminent domain (still far from certain)\, landowners have significant rights to protect their property and ensure that they are paid the true value of the highest and best use of their property. \nThere will be plenty of time for questions and answers. Part of the evening will be devoted to an exploration of how Augusta County landowners can organize and gather strength in numbers in a united effort to resist this pipeline. \nPlease note that this meeting is specifically focused on landowners. We appreciate the strong community involvement throughout our region\, and encourage non-landowners to focus their energy on other meetings that will continue to happen throughout the coming months. \nThis meeting is co-hosted by the Augusta County Alliance and Appalachian Mountain Advocates. Both are non-profit organizations which are focused on protecting this unique region. Neither group is seeking payment from anyone who attends this meeting.

SUMMARY:Buckingham County Board of Supervisors Meeting
DESCRIPTION:It is expected that the Buckingham County Planning Commission’s recommendation to the Buckingham County Board of Supervisors will be on the agenda at the December 12\, 2016\, Supervisors meeting. \nIf built\, the compressor station would have significant impacts on Buckingham\, which is known for its pristine environment and rural culture. The proposed site for this fracked gas propulsion station is in the middle of Union Hill\, a historic\, predominantly African American freedmen community. The compressor station would create a public safety hazard\, dramatically increase noise and air pollution\, lower property values\, and emit tons of greenhouse gases into an already overburdened atmosphere. \nAttend the meeting and let your presence help in the ongoing effort to prevent the Buckingham Board of Supervisors from approving the Atlantic Coast Pipeline compressor station. Buckingham residents need to know they have their neighbors’ support. \nContact lara@appvoices.org for more information.

SUMMARY:Day of Solidarity with Standing Rock Sioux
DESCRIPTION:November 15\, 2016 is a National Day of Solidarity for opposition to the Dakota Access Pipeline. Please join us on November 15\, 2016\, 4:30-7:30\, Free Speech Wall\, at the Pavilion end of the Downtown Mall in Charlottesville\, as we stand in solidarity with the Standing Rock Sioux and other tribal nations in their battle to protect their land and communities from the unnecessary and unwanted onslaught of large diameter pipeline infrastructure. This battle is about clean water for their people. The Standing Rock Sioux are using their national sovereignty to protect their water. \nEnergy Transfer Partners has ignored the Obama Administration’s call to voluntarily halt construction and continues to desecrate sacred places. They have proven time and time again that they are more interested in money than the health and well being of the 17 million people who get their drinking water from the Missouri River. They have bulldozed over the burial grounds of Lakota and Dakota ancestors and have no regard for the sanctity of these places. \nPlease bring signs and Banners for display.
