To the Department of Environmental Quality,
I am writing to state my support for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP) project. As a longtime North Carolinian
I support the pipeline because it is safe, promotes energy independence and will provide badly needed jobs for
eastern North Carolina.
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 have come to the conclusion that this project is safe. I trust the experts and I trust the process. It is now time
to move forward with this project.
Thank you.
Sincerely,

Charles Hellwig
