Proposed Dominion Atlantic Coast Pipeline - Cancelled by Dominion Energy in July, 2020

​SSVC voted unanimously to oppose Dominion's Atlantic Coast Pipeline route. 

Position:  SSVC of PATC opposes the proposed Dominion Atlantic Coast Pipeline route because of its potential impact on the Appalachian Trail and National Park lands on the Blue Ridge and on the Shenandoah Mountain area of the George Washington National Forest (GWNF), both of which that have outstanding scenic, ecological and recreational values.
