Dear Division of Water Resources,
I am a resident of North Carolina and I have great compassion for the health and safety of the environment, as well as
others. Installing this pipeline will put the health of these entities, along with others, at risk. This has been shown to be
the case in numerous studies of faulty gas lines, that leak, and harm the environment. These lines have shown to be
faulty time and time again. They have tendencies to crack easily over time, so they are dangerous.
I'm very concerned about the Atlantic Coast Pipeline's 401 Water Quality Certification application. In it, they claim that
they'll restore waterbodies and wetlands back to being healthy. However, the applicant does not list any specific plans
to measure or monitor the waterways they say would be impacted. Protecting our waterways is important to me and
the Atlantic Coast Pipeline could put them in jeopardy.
Please reject the application from the Atlantic Coast Pipeline LLC because it does not meet my and DEQ's standards of
protecting our waterways.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Alexander McGirt
