The Atlantic Coast Pipeline has received its draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) as of last Friday.  There is a lot of information to digest in the EIS, and if you have a particular concern then I recommend you read that part of the EIS in full.

If you are just interested to know what the EIS says in general, then this write up by Brad McElhinny for the WV Metro News site will do the trick well.

The extremely condensed version is that the FERC doesn’t see the environmental impacts of the ACP as significant.

You may differ in opinion, and if you do you should contact the FERC and file a comment.

In general, we would like to see this and other major pipeline projects completed.  However, we’re negotiating on behalf of landowners to get them the best deal possible and, if need be, help them through the federal eminent domain process.  The initial offer that the pipeline companies make to people is really bad.  The pipeline companies are willing to negotiate, and the changes they have given us are significant.  Call us and see if we can help you out.
