SUBJECT : Actual Minimum Width of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline [ACP]is approximately the length of a football field.
The length of a football field [360 feet] is the actual estimated minimum width
[347 feet] of the proposed methane transmission lines to cross West Virginia
and Virginia.
[347 feet] of the proposed methane transmission lines to cross West Virginia
and Virginia.
Dominion Transmission Inc. refers to the width of the ACP to be 124 feet.
This is the 125 foot minimum width requirements set by the Interstate Natural
Gas Association of America [INGAA] with total disregard for existing federal
and state standards regarding the rugged karst terrain and elevation challenges.

Mountain top flattening is required for the level work space mandated for
the construction equipment, work area and emergency access. Eleven knobs
would be flattened including Point Mountain, Elk Mountain, Mingo Knob, Middle
Mountain. Massive equipment is necessary to drilland blast the required 26 feet
depth and width through karst.

The INGAA 125 foot minimum includes on the Spoil Side 3 feet for the Edge
of Row, 3 feet for Work Space, 20 feet for Top Soil, 29 feet for Ditch Spoil and
12 feet for the Ditch Area.

At least 104 feet minimum would be added according to federal regulations
including: 10 feet for the Buffer Zone, 29 feet for the Equipment Work Area,
13 feet for Pipe Make Up, 5 foot Separation Zone [maneuvering equipment],
10 feet for Top Soil Segregation and 25 - 55 X 100-150’ for Water body Crossings.

There are twenty-five additional width categories designated as “Unkown”
by INGAA, they include: Access Roads, Alignment Grade, Automatic Welding
Area, Clay Drainage Tile Frequency, Emergency & Medical Vehicles, Federal
Worker Safety Laws, Rain, Rock Displacement by Rock-piling, Rock Depth,
Rock Type, Shooflies, Side Slope Grade, Soil Depth, Soil , Special Construction
Techniques, Special Erosion Control Requirements, Special Work Areas,
Spoil Piles will spread out, State Worker Safety Laws, Steep Slide Slopes,
Temperature, Terrain, Timber Disposition by Stockpiling,Turnaround Areas,
Undulating Alignment Profiles, Steep Slide Slopes, Temperature, Terrain,
Timber Disposition by Stockpiling, Turnaround Areas, Undulating Alignment
Profiles.

It is rarely mentioned that low flying helicopters would monitor the 500 plus
mile pathway from the Ohio River to the Atlantic bi-monthly looking for leaks
with in-fared equipment and bi-monthly low flying sprays in the Spring and
Summer months to inhibit flora and fauna growth with chemicals creating a
permanent and unknown chemical runoff affecting wildlife, streams, water table
and underground rivers.
