Dear Division of Water Resources,

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. Meanwhile it WILL DROP LAND AND HOME VALUES
SIGNIFICANTLY, KILL NUMEROUS SPECIES, AND NOT SET ASIDE ANY MONIES FOR CLEAN UP AT ALL IF BANKRUPTCY IS
DECLARED. THIS ACTION WILL TAKE DECADES FOR THE AREA TO RECOVER FROM - ALL SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO PAY
TRUCK DRIVERS TO HAUL IT. INSTEAD - SAVE JOBS, RAISE THE ECONOMY AND SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT OF THE
PRICELESS PLANT AND ANIMAL DIVERSITY OF THE APPALACHIA! Not only that but, the applicant does not list any specific
plans to measure or monitor the waterways they say would be impacted. SO THEY PLAN ON DESTROYING OUR WATER
SOURCE - WHICH NOT ONLY SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTS EVERY FARM AND INDIVIDUAL USING IT FOR OUR HOME AND
FOOD SUPPLY, BUT GREATLY IMPACTS OUR DEER, TURKEY, DUCK AND OTHER SPECIES WHICH ARE REGULARLY HUNTED
HERE AND BRING IN TEN OF THOUSANDS OF TOURISTS TO THE APPALACHIA. AND HOW MANY TOURISTS WILL COME IN
TO SEE A DEAD ZONE INSTEAD OF THE BRIGHTLY COLORED BEAUTY THAT IS OUR FOREST EVERY YEAR? THIS IMPACTS
ALL BED AND BREAKFASTS, HOTELS, SHOPS AND EATERYS ABILITY TO KEEP A FLOAT, MAKE THE APPALACIA A
WASTELAND AND A GHOST TOWN. Protecting our waterways is important to me, TOURISM, INDUSTRY, ANIMAL AND
HUMAN POPULATION, FOOD AND WATER SOURCES and the Atlantic Coast Pipeline WILL put them in SIGNIFICANT
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,

BARBARA ANN SLINEY
