Until recently I was totally unaware of this proposal and do not believe mine, or other communities along the pipeline route were given an opportunity to adequately voice our concerns about the environmental impacts this project would have. I am concerned about the increased risk of leaks, explosions, or other accidents with an increase to the capacity in this old pipeline and the detrimental impact that could have on our rivers, streams, and wildlife.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n I oppose this project and am calling on FERC commissioners to consider the input of our Western states\u2019 Attorney Generals and the voices of people across the Northwest.
