Dominion Greenbrier, Inc. is proposing to put a 30 inch natural gas pipeline carrying 1,250 pounds per square inch of pressure through Raleigh. Fayette, Summers, Mercer and Nicholas counties.

Dominion will NOT distribute gas to these counties. THIS PIPELINE COULD COME NEAR YOU!!!!!!!!!

1) Bulldozing, drilling and blasting to bury the pipeline can damage rock formations that carry underground streams. These activities can also leak to the pollution of ground water and springs. NO MORE WATER!

2) There will be extreme environmental impact by causing the decrease in the wildlife and bird populations by disrupting the delicate balance of the ecosystem - disturbing, polluting and possibly destroying our watersheds.

3) There is a natural beauty of West Virginia with the forests and abundance of wildlife. The gas pipeline will leave a 100-200 foot wide industrial scar along its route. This will be visible to all tourists who visit the area.

4) The pipeline creates hazardous situations of fires and explosions. The natural gas line under extremely high pressure does not leak, it "blows."

5) When you try to sell your property, you will have to disclose that you have a natural gas pipeline through your property or nearby. This will decrease your property value. The property could and probably would suffer a terrible loss in marketability.

6) Dominion would have a permanent easement of 50 feet if the pipeline goes through your property, yet you will continue to pay the property taxes. You will not be allowed to build or put permanent structures on this area.

7) Our county is composed of many persons over the age of 65. They are accustomed to peace and quiet and the beauty of the area. The stress level of just the installation could cause heart attacks and strokes for area senior citizens.

8) An easement granted to this company will open the area for other pipelines or utilities to follow to the same easement.

9) An alternate route could be taken away from residential areas and businesses.

Regular open meetings are held for concerned citizens in the area who are NOT in favor of the pipeline. Call 763-2110 for more information.
