B. Other Stakeholders
Atlantic Coast Pipeline
Three supplemental ACP Open Houses were held in Nelson County, VA (3/10/15), Highland
County, VA (3/19/15) and Randolph County, WV (3/23/15) to introduce new route alternatives and
allow potentially affected landowners and other interested stakeholders the opportunity to review
and discuss the reasoning behind the route alternatives.
ACP and SHP project team members attended each of the ten FERC Scoping Meetings from
March 9 through 24 and staffed tables in the hallways outside of the auditoriums where the public
could view maps of the proposed pipeline route, including new route alternatives. Subject matter
experts were present to explain the route and answer questions.
A summary of e-mails, phone calls, and in-person meetings with non-governmental,
environmental, and other organizations is provided in the table below.
