NELLYSFORD, VA, UNITED STATES, March 14, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ — Friends of Wintergreen released two geological and soils studies that highlight the extreme risk of building the 42 inch, compressed natural gas Atlantic Coast Pipeline in the mountainous areas of Nelson County, Virginia.
The studies also concluded that Dominion Transmission Inc., the lead sponsor of the ACP, inadequately analyzed the risks required for major construction in the steep slope areas like Wintergreen. Similar critiques have been leveled against Dominion by some environmental groups and the US Forest Service. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) recently issued a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) that included information supplied by Dominion. FERC, the federal agency that must ultimately approve the pipeline, is seeking comment from interested parties to the DEIS.
