Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP) Cuts Across Buckingham, VA.

A high-pressure natural gas pipeline to transport fracked gas from West Virginia to North Carolina is planned by Dominion Resources to cut across, Buckingham. The August 2015 plan shows that the pipeline will be as close as ½ - 1 mile from Light Of Truth Universal Shrine (LOTUS).

If the pipeline proposal is approved, then the natural environment, health and safety of those living in the area, and the service and mission of the Ashram will be seriously compromised because of construction that could last over a year and because of air, water, soil and sound pollution.

We are concerned that such a pipeline and its huge compressor will diminish the Ashram’s ability to continue serving the thousands of guests, friends and overnight guests who come here every year from around the world seeking a healthy, safe, and peaceful sanctuary in which to further their education, personal healing, and spiritual growth.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP

Please sign this online petition against the proposed AC pipeline (Docket No. PF 15-6) Atlantic Coast Natural Gas Pipeline - Dominion/Duke Energy in Buckingham County, VA, USA

ALSO PLEASE forward to your friends and family.

Reaching our goal of twenty-five hundred signatures will provide a significant measure of public scrutiny as we bring our concerns to the table. I encourage you to pass this request along to those who value the preservation of our shared sanctuary.

Reaching one thousand signatures brings a new layer of weight to our concerns about the pipeline path. It is heartening to see how many people recognize the sanctuary of the Ashram as a space worth protecting for the future.

I live in Yogaville, but am originally from the West Coast where this Pipline madness is also happening. I believe we all need to take a stand, all of us across the country to push back against the distruction of our homes and natural wilderness areas.

Do not put a gas pipeline near Yogaville. People from a radius of over a 1,000 miles have been coming there for decades for the beauty, peace and quiet of your state, spending money all along the way and referring it to their friends with great fondness. Frack somewhere else.

Yogaville is a sanctuary of peace for deeply spiritual people seeking to deepen same. I petition that the pipeline would be a serious threat to what Yogaville has been doing for people including myself for many years previous to now. Please no pipeline!!!

Yogaville is a resource to be guarded for all time, and Buckingham County itself is a treasure to be safeguarded from the potential hazards of methane gas leakage and explosions that are documented risks of this high pressure pipeline. BIG NO!

The construction of a pipeline would be detrimental to the point of destroying the peace and serenity of the Yogaville community and all that it means to its residents and thousands of visitors from across the entire globe.

Building a compression station near LOTUS would be a tragic loss--not only for the local community but for the entire world. Learn why this shrine is a world-class social landmark by visitng the website I built about it, http://lotus.org
