Feds set meeting date on Dominion pipeline

Federal regulators who will review Dominion's natural gas pipeline permit application set a local meeting date three weeks from now to gather input from the public.

Officials with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission will gather at 7 p.m. March 19 inside Stuarts Draft High School as part of a series of "scoping" meetings scheduled along the proposed 550-mile Atlantic Coast Pipeline study corridor.

Public comments will be used to formulate an environmental impact statement FERC will use as part of the permit review process. The meeting is intended for verbal comments from the public.

Written comments can be provided at the agency's website at www.ferc.gov, or by mail addressed to Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Room 1A Washington, D.C. 20426.
