Making Sense of Natural Gas Pipelines and Right-of-Way Agreements
West Virginia University Cooperative Extension is hosting a series of three pipeline meetings entitled ‘Making Sense of Natural Gas Pipelines and Right-of-Way Agreements.’ The meetings will be October 12 (Mill Creek, WV), October 13 (Summersville, WV) and October 14 (Weston, WV).
Attendees will have an opportunity to learn about the proposed pipelines and ask questions. Let’s have a strong presence at these meeting to show them why the pipelines don’t make sense. For more information about the topics covered, locations and times of the meeting CLICK HERE.

Petition FERC Today!

The organization behind this petition is Public Citizen, a highly ethical citizen advocate organization. EVERYONE involved in the pipeline fight and all those sympathetic to it should sign this petition.

There is still time to act to Protect West Virginia Streams!

The comment period has been extended to Oct. 10. Please take action today and tell the EPA to create a selenium standard that protects fish and people from the devastating impacts of stream pollution.
