Local organizations concerned about the gas pipeline unite

9/8/2014

The Allegheny Blue-Ridge Alliance (ABRA), a coalition of organizations concerned about the Atlantic Coast Pipeline proposed by Dominion Resources and its partner companies, has formed to gather information about the proposed 42" interstate gas transmission pipeline through portions of West Virginia and Virginia. 

According to ABRA, the pipeline route would disrupt some of the most ecologically sensitive areas in the Eastern United States, including significant portions of the George Washington and Monongahela national forests.  The pipeline would be built over fragile karst topography, thus presenting a potential hazard to regional water supplies.  Further, it would bring unjustified risks and costs to many rural communities in its path, negatively affecting property rights and values, without long-term economic benefits.

Friends of Shenandoah Mountain has joined the coalition.  Learn more about the Allegheny Blue-Ridge Alliance.
