New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation said the Constitution Pipeline failed to meet the
state’s water-quality standards because it would cross ecologically sensitive areas, old-growth forests and
some 250 streams.

This is the same argument that the NCDEQ needs to decline Duke & Dominion application for the ACP thru
NC
The NC ACP would cross 8 sources of water in protected watersheds. Three of those are zoned critical
concern. Crossing these areas would impact downstream drinking water. Water needed by the ACP for hydro
static testing and dust control must be quantified.

Locations of withdrawals and discharge must be identified.
Lack of state rules for water withdrawal is concerning

Since gas fired power demand is essentially flat, there is no need for the ACP.
