The cummulative impact of the constructing these pipelines will be devastating the state waters. It will also kill untold numbers of animals, insects, and destroy and fragment habitat. Plus it will create ugliness in God's beauty.

Do a PEIS. Don't put a pipeline nor compressor station anywhere near LOTUS. See http://lotus.org.

the rights and safety of citizens should always trump the bottom line interests of privately held companies (people before profits).

NO MORE PIPELINES!!!
Fossil fuels are OUTDATED and are NOT friendly to our climate and environment. They are nothing but DESTRUCTIVE!! Aren't we in the 21st century? It's the age for clean, sustainable renewables like solar and wind.

These pipelines will have a huge - and negative - impact on the residents and lands of the Blue Ridge and Appalachian regions. It is FERC's responsibility to consider that entire impact.

To have four pipelines in this area will have a much wider range of impacts than would just one pipeline. So it should be FERC's responsibility to examine these cumulative impacts through a Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS).

A Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) should be at minimal required for the massive methane gas pipelines proposed through the region.

It's only reasonable to consider all pipelines and their impact on the states they cross. Seeing them piecemeal is like putting blinders on a horse; controls the horse but does nothing to mitigate danger out of his peripheral vision

This is the only way FERC can fulfill it's chartered mandate. To do less is abrogation.

Destruction to the environment must be minimized. With at least three pipelines preparing to destroy critical habitat and people's farms and businesses, a PEIS for Virginia is the least that FERC can do.

The negative effects are long-term and the benefits are short term. The communities the pipelines involve are against them. Short-term profit is not enough to change any kind of ecosystem for the future, whether it be environmental or social. Our government should remain obligated to make educated choices that consider a comprehensive view of environmental impact. Support communties, support where those communities live.

these pipelines cannot be allowed to ruin our environment, reduce our property values, and intrude upon our way of life. They should be coordinated in a way that benefits the people. Also, the water for the East Coast Metro areas come from our hills. They should suffer minimum disruption.

There are safer and cleaner ways to produce energy. We do not need more pipelines!!

The damage to the environment, economy and quality of life of the communities through which these pipelines would be enormous. And for what? Developments and lower costs with renewable energy sources have made these pipelines obsolete. Don't let this damage be wreaked on Virginia!
