Research Findings
Affected community members benefited from direct engagement and access to information.
∗ Got information∗ Had their questions

best way to reach landowners
![Page 6: ACP Presentation Updated.pptx](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013004/586feafe1a28ab92198b51e3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Landowners are not receiving consistent information from Duke Energy or Piedmont.
∗ Receiving information from Doyle, rather that Duke Energy or Piedmont.
∗ From Duke and Piedmont: more reliable and builds trust
Research Findings

![Page 8: ACP Presentation Updated.pptx](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013004/586feafe1a28ab92198b51e3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
While many environmental groups have concerns about the ACP, active environmental opposition to the project is minimal.
∗ Concerns:∗ Fracking∗ Groundwater contamination∗ Construction of the pipeline∗ Sustainability of natural gas
∗ Most said they would not actively oppose the pipeline∗ Strong opposition in VA and WV seems more likely to
impact public opinion

Fracking, pipeline construction and pipeline safety are the biggest concerns related to the ACP
∗ Groundwater contamination∗ Disturbances of land and waterways during pipeline
construction∗ Previous pipeline accidents have raised concerns in West
Virginia and Virginia, but do not present a major issue to those interviewed
