In its proposed location the Atlantic Coast Pipeline would traverse more than 200 miles of North
Carolina's coastal plains. It would require clearing hundreds of acres of forested wetlands and cross
hundreds of streams and rivers putting their waters at risk of pollution. In some cases the waters
which would have to be crossed are high quality waters that provide drinking water to North
Carolina towns. Many of these same waters and others to be crossed serve as primary nursery areas
for fish critical to our coastal fisheries. It seems from a brief look at the map that this could largely
be avoided if the pipeline were routed significantly further inland such as in the vicinity of state
Route 258.

We hope you will consider this alternative or perhaps other alternatives which would move the
pipeline to a less environmentally harmful location.
