Subject:Support for the Atlanta Coast Pipeline
Dear North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality: As someone who works in the North Carolina
energy industry, I fully support the approval of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline. This safe and necessary energy
infrastructure project will provide public utilities with clean-burning natural gas to generate electricity and heat
our homes and businesses. It will create jobs and boost economic growth, while decreasing carbon
emissions.____Building the ACP will support an estimated 17,240 construction jobs and 2,200 ongoing
operation jobs when it is completed. It will cut energy costs for consumers by $377 million a year.____The
ACP has undergone three years of reviews and extensive study by federal, state, and local entities. FERC and
other agencies have carefully analyzed its potential impacts on air and water quality, wildlife, and other natural
resources. It has passed every test and met all state and federal construction and environmental
requirements.____I am urging the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to please support the ACP. It will
help meet the growing energy needs of our expanding population, create living-wage jobs for North Carolina
workers, and make our state a cleaner, safer, and more prosperous place to live.__ Sincerely, Roy Spegele 1330
