But we must balance it with infrastructure that allows our communities to survive and thrive. That is what the Atlantic Coast Pipeline will do. The ACP will bring cleaner, affordable American energy to North Carolina, which will mean lower bills for consumers, opportunities for business growth, and economic stabilization in much of our state—and we are eager for it. But that doesn't mean the ACP isn't taking every precaution when it comes to environmental safety. The ACP's stream and wetland crossing techniques and pipeline construction methods meet state and federal requirements designed to protect water quality. In addition, the ACP project team has reviewed each stream crossing to ensure the chosen construction method is appropriate given the site-specific characteristics of that stream. Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is being proposed in many locations to avoid impacts to major waterbodies. Please do not delay the Atlantic Coast Pipeline. North Carolina needs it.

This project will be significant for the economy and prosperity of North Carolina. Over the past three years, the ACP has sought review and input by various federal, state, and local agencies, as well as hundreds of individuals with a stake in the project. The ACP project team has provided more than 100,000 pages of reports and documentation about everything from construction safety and economic impact to pollinators and water safety—and much more. Throughout this extensive process, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and many other agencies have carefully analyzed potential impacts to the land, air and water quality, wildlife, and other resources. They have determined that the ACP team has adopted the necessary measures to protect our environment. I hope the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality will have confidence in the established process for these kinds of important infrastructure projects, appreciate the extensive preservation work being done, and approve the ACP.

I understand and value the care the NCDEQ puts into its decisions for North Carolina—I only ask that you trust the extensive and thorough review process the ACP is undergoing. Already, the ACP has had nearly three years of review and feedback. The project team evaluated more than 6,000 miles of potential routes and made hundreds of route adjustments to avoid environmentally sensitive areas and address individual landowner requests. The ACP team provided more than 100,000 pages of reports and documentation covering every aspect of the project. The comprehensive process has included careful analysis from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and many state and national agencies, who are reviewing potential impacts to the land, air and water quality, wildlife and other resources. So far, they agree that the project has adopted the necessary measures to protect the environment. Please trust the extensive process and don't delay your approval of this safe and vital project.

Natural gas burns cleaner than coal and produces far less carbon emissions. Plus, it complements the development of renewable energy sources like wind and solar—while also making energy more affordable for North Carolinians. Natural gas pipelines are different from—and have less environmental impacts than—oil pipelines. Natural gas would not result in an oil -like "spill" into a waterbody, as some opponents suggest. Our public utilities need additional supplies of natural gas to meet the needs of millions of customers in Virginia and North Carolina. The ACP will generate cleaner energy to heat homes and power new business in our state—which means jobs and economic opportunities for North Carolina, with minimal impact to the environment. As part of the exhaustive review process, the ACP project team evaluated thousands of miles of potential routes, submitted thousands of pages of documentation, and sought feedback from countless landowners, residents and community leaders. Every consideration should be made and every precaution should be taken to preserve our environment, and I believe the ACP team is doing just that. I appreciate your efforts to ensure the same, and ask that you not delay in approving the Atlantic Coast Pipeline.

That's why a project as important as the Atlantic Coast Pipeline isn't built overnight. Rather, this project has gone through nearly three years of careful planning and thorough scrutiny from agencies and organizations at every level. That review process has helped the ACP become the safest way for us to get affordable cleaner natural gas to those in our region who desperately need it. Between consulting water and terrain experts, evaluating thousands of miles of potential routes, and making hundreds of route adjustments to avoid environmentally sensitive areas, review of the ACP has proceeded in a responsible fashion. I ask that you acknowledge this process and do not postpone your approval.

Moving to more environmentally friendly sources of energy is vital for North Carolina, our region and our country. And the best way to do that is by approving the ACP. The ACP will transport natural gas, which is already a much cleaner form of energy than older forms North Carolina has used for decades. And natural gas is an important partner fuel to renewables such as solar and wind. It is a natural complement for when the sun isn't shining or the wind is not blowing. The gas transported by the ACP will be used to generate cleaner electricity to heat homes and power new industries creating Americans jobs. I urge you to approve the Atlantic Coast Pipeline.
