To the Department of Environmental Quality,

I am writing to state my support for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP) project. As a resident of Bertie County, I support
the pipeline because it is safe, promotes energy independence and will provide badly needed jobs in my region of the
state.

The Atlantic Coast Pipeline is a crucial infrastructure project for North Carolina. We need the ACP because North
Carolina’s public utilities need additional supplies of natural gas to meet the growing energy needs of consumers. Not to
mention, the ACP is also a safer means of transporting natural gas compared to highway, rail, and water. This project has
had nearly three years of review and input by numerous federal, state and local bodies. FERC and other agencies have
carefully analyzed the project for potential environmental impacts. The ACP partners have submitted tens of thousands
of pages in the form of studies and documents. They have been transparent every step of the way. NUMEROUS forums
have been held on this issue over the past three years. Everyone has had an opportunity to participate and be heard.

I believe that this project is safe.
I trust the experts and I trust the process.
It is now time to move forward with this project.

Sincerely,

Garry Lee Terry
