Project Update Public Involvement Dominion, on behalf of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC, is committed to providing a variety of opportunities to gather input from stakeholders. We have developed a comprehensive outreach program including two rounds of open houses (September 2014 and January 2015) as well as meetings, mailings and conference calls with federal, state, county and city elected officials and their staffs, business and civic organizations and other interested parties including government agencies and environmental organizations. December 2014 From the Project Director On behalf of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC, I am pleased to invite you to attend one of the upcoming Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP) open houses. The open houses will be held in 11 communities along the proposed route over a three-week period in January 2015. Please see the full schedule inside this newsletter. This outreach will continue as we work to ensure all stakeholders understand the ACP project and have opportunities to share their views. Share your ideas, request additional information or ask questions about the project using the following options. The open houses provide an opportunity for attendees to interact with ACP subject matter experts to ask questions, view detailed maps and display materials, and provide feedback on the proposed route. Land representatives will be on hand to discuss how properties along the proposed route could be affected. In addition, a representative from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) will be available to talk with open house attendees. The FERC is the lead agency responsible for environmental review and approval of the project. Contact the FERC: Via U.S. Mail at: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 888 First Street, NE Washington, D.C. 20426 (Reference Docket#: PF15-6-000) Via electronic submittal at: Issues and concerns identified in the open houses will be considered by the project team during the next stage of the planning process. We hope you will join us for one of the open houses in your area. www.ferc.gov/help/how-to/ecomment.asp: (Subject line: Docket#: PF15-6-000) We want to ensure that all stakeholders have opportunities to learn about the ACP and provide input as the project moves through the design and permitting process.
