Dear Division of Water Resources,
I attended two of your hearings, Fayetteville and Rocky Mount. I know what happened there and I hope you also
remember the cries for help to prevent the pipeline. How the people of color and the indigenous peoples are once again
being sacrificed for something we should not put money to are and do not need. I hope that NCDEQ will reject the
Atlantic Coast Pipeline LLC's 401 Water Quality Certification application. I'm worried about the damage it could cause to
our environment and our waterways.
The construction of the pipeline could harm aquatic life and habitats, smothering spawning beds and fish eggs. These
spawning and nursery areas are essential to endangered species such as the Atlantic sturgeon and the Shortnose
sturgeon, and home to the Neuse River Waterdog, Carolina Madtom, and several other species of concern in North
Carolina.
For these reasons, I urge you to reject the 401 Water Quality Certification application from Atlantic Coast Pipeline LLC.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Margaret Yocis
