01/26/2015DOCKET# PF15-6 Proposed Atlantic Coast Pipeline Route Not in Augusta County, VA Background Information Larry Korte, PO Box 977, Churchville, VA 24421 Augusta County Dominion acting badly Great DOM rep statements: We avoid Karst, we navigate around sinkholes by talking with landowners. I wouldnt live in a Karst area with a pipeline, yes a sinkhole formation will break the pipeline, we follow the rules and can come within 120 feet of homes and buildings while the blast zone for this pipeline is 1,100 feet, were not responsible for wells and springs and streams beyond our 200 foot right-of-way ask my friend who lost his well to sulfur during a pipeline construction 500 feet away with no compensation, We could use existing right of way for all but 20 miles but we dont want to, we donated $50,000 to your civic organizations hint hint, at the first DOM public meeting the lawyer answered most questions- thats a bad sign, we forgot about those ash waste ponds and yes they have been leaking into the streams, we learned from the problems with our pipeline in W.V.
