Thank you WDBJ7

Here on the mountain we have heavy rain in the past. Nothing new here, except now the pipeline is coming through and they have torn up our mountains. Surprise they are and saying the mud is from the heavy rain. No! The mud is from "your" tearing up our home.

Who pays for the continuing cleanup as it is obvious that this will not be an isolated incident.

Before MVP. After MVP.

Any questions?

Call the Governor of Virginia Ralph Northam NOW
*** 804-786-2211 ***
and demand that he issue a STOP WORK order IMMEDIATELY.

Put it in your own words or feel free to quote whatever you wish from this script:

I am calling to demand that the MVP and ACP construction be halted immediately. The Governor has the power to issue a stop-work order and he must do so NOW. As demonstrated by the mudslides in Franklin County today, and countless other places along the MVP and ACP routes, there is no way that these fracked-gas pipelines can be constructed or operated without severe, irreparable damage to Virginia's land, air, water and citizen's safety. Please make sure that action is taken on this crucial issue TODAY.

Thank you.

Please report any additional evidence you find today (time-stamp and date your photos if possible!) to the Mountain Valley Watch (833-689-2824) and John McCutcheon,
DEQ Stormwater Compliance Manager (804) 527-5117

You can call Ann Regn, DEQ spokeswoman, at
804-698-4442

You can also try Jerome A. Brooks, Manager of the DEQ Office of Water Compliance at 804-698-4403

Still having trouble getting through? Try calling Secretary of Natural Resources Matt Strickler at 804-786-0044.

We also suggest you contact your local government officials and insist that they report this to the officials responsible (such as the DEQ, VDOT, etc) for monitoring and compliance.

The rain has shown MVP that this mountains are not for pipelines, anyone in the Bent Mountain area is having the same issues that Franklin Co is experiencing?
If yes, take pictures, videos, document everything, and send it to DEQ, and to the Governor.

Also, call the VDOT, local police......make them work for the citizens, not MVP.

We told them not to put that pipeline in the steep mountain community. But what did we know? Now look at the mess. Shame to destroy our beautiful mountains and the Blue Ridge Mountains.
