It also will impact 7 tribes in <br /> Virginia. <br /> It is proposed to go through many wetlands that our ancestors hid out in during colonial days to <br /> escape slavery, would take land from our elders using condemnation (eminent domain), and <br /> the pipeline in some places will be within several hundred feet of trailers and homes that house <br /> our elderly and children (especially in Pembroke, NC). <br /> The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission will make their decision on or before October 19th <br /> to approve or not approve this project. If you supported a resolution against this project, it <br /> would mean a great deal to many indigenous people on the East Coast who have been <br /> fighting this since the beginning. <br /> If you would like more information on the proposed project, I would like to be a resource for <br /> you and can answer any questions you have, as well as providing maps, charts and other <br /> items. <br /> Thanks so much for all you do, <br /> Ericka Faircloth <br /> Standing Rep - Coalition of Woodland Nations <br /> Commissioner Price said Governor Cooper has delayed a decision on the ACP until <br /> December. <br /> Chair Dorosin asked if Commissioner Price would draft a resolution about this issue, <br /> and said he would be willing to help. <br /> Commissioner Rich had no comments <br /> Commissioner Jacobs asked if the Board could receive more information about what <br /> bio solids are being spread in Orange County, Class A or Class B.
