It recognizes a historic property's importance to its community, the State, and/or the Nation as weU as encouraging good stewardship or the historic property. • National and state register listings do not place restrictions on private properC)' owners. Owners have no obligation to open their properties to the public, to restore them, or even to maintain them, if they choose not to do so. • Under Federal and State laws, private property owners can do anything they wish with their Register-listed property, provided that no Federal or State license, permit, or funding is involved. • If a listed properC)' is destroyed or its integriC)' is greatly altered, it is removed from the registers. • To ensure public participation in the nomination process, properC)' owners and local officials are notified of proposed nominations to the National Register and provided the opportuniC)' to comment. In adrution, once a nomination is submitted to the National Park Service another public comment period is published in the Federal Regis/,r. Further details about the public participation process are available at htW: ((www .dhr.virginia.gov (registers (GuidanceMaterials (LegalNoti ficationForm 201 6.pdf • Federal agencies whose projects affect a listed property must give DHR (Virginia's State Historic Preservation Office) an opportuniC)' to comment on the project and its effects on tl,e property. Furtller details are provided below. • Federal and State Investment Tax Creruts for rehabilitation and other provisions are available, should a properC)' owner choose to use them. Further details are provided below. • Owners may also qualify for Federal grants for historic preservation when funding is available. Refer to the National Park Service web site for Federal grant information. Currently, Virginia has no grants available for privately owned properties. National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) Established under the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA), as amended, the national historic preservation program is a partnership between the Federal, State, Tribal, and local governments; private organizations; and the public. The Act and its provisions establish the framework within which citizens plan, identify, evaluate, register, and protect significant historic and archeological properties throughout the country. Central to this framework is the NRHP--the Nation's official list of historic properties worthy of preservation, administered by the National Park Service (NPS), Deparanent of the Interior. Properties listed i.n tl,e NRHP include districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects tl,at arc significant in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture. Historic places arc nominated to tl,e N RHP by nominating authorities: the State Historic Preservation Officer (S HPO), appointed by tl,e Governor of the State in which the property is located; tl,e Federal Preservation Officer (FPO) for properties under Federal ownership or control; or by tl,e Tribal Historic Preservation Officer (THPO) if the property is on tribal lands. Anyone can prepare a nomination to tl,e N RHP, at which time the SHPO, FPO or THPO reviews tl,e proposed nomination, and notifies properC)' owners and local officials of the intent to nominate. Nominations submitted tluough tl,e State must first be approved by a State Review Board (SRB) before being reviewed by tl,e NPS. The members of tl,e SRB, who are appointed by the SHPO, usc tl,e same critetia as tl,e National Register to evaluate properties and then recommend tl,em to the NPS for listing in tl,e NRHP. The NRHP continues to reflect the desire of Americans, as expressed in the NHP f\, that "tl,e historical and cultural foundation of tl,e nation should be preserved as a living part of our community life and development in order to give a sense of orientation to tl,e American people."

Profess ional architects, archjtecrural historians, and archaeologists are available to provide technical guida.nce in the care and maintenance of buildings and sites. Planning for Federal, federally licensed, and federally assisted projects includes consideration of histotic properties, Section 106 of the NHPA requires that Federal agencies allow the SHP O an opportuniry to comment on all projects affecting historic properties either listed in or determined eligible for li sting in the NRHP. The Advisory CounciJ on Historic Preservation (w\\rw .achp.gov) oversees and ensures the consideration of historic properties in the Federal planning process. Buildings listed in the VLR may also be considered as part or a state-funded project, such as highway planning. Register listing also requires consideration in issuing a surface coal mining permi t, In accordance with d1e Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 USc. 1201-1328; 91 Stat. 445), there must be consideration of historic values in the decision to issue a surface coal mining permit where coal is located.

The site is in close proximity to , but is not included in, the potential Courtland Historic District (DHR File # 201-5001). Constructed in 1928, it is a two-teacher plan school built under the auspices of the Rosenwald Fund and of a type described in the Multiple Documentation Form Rosenwald Schools a/Virginia (012-5041) . Built in the Craftsman architectural style, the one story, frame school has a brick fo undation, weatherboard siding, and side-gable, standing-seam metal roof. Centered on the primary (west) fayade is a projecting, front-gable bay featuring a centered group of fo ur, one-over-one double-hung sash windows. The projecting bay is flanked by recessed entries sheltered by pent roof overhangs. A pair of smaller wi ndows, with six-over six, double-hung sash, are to the side of each entry. The character-defining exterior architectural details retain a high degree of historic integrity. Much of the ori ginal interior plan and architectural features survive, although some have been covered with non-historic materials. The school yard currently includes a newer playground, basketball court and picnic shelter. Education for Virginia's African-Ameri can population was first provided on a separate and unequal basis starting in 1869-1870. As described in the Rosenwald Schools a/Virginia (012- 5014) Multiple Property Documentation Form, under which the Courtland School is being nominated, due to inequitable funding, the earli est public schools built for African American students after the Civil War were taught in old or inadequate buildings. In the second decade of the twentieth century, African Americans were assisted in their educational endeavors by the philanthropic efforts of a northern foundation. In 1917, Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears Roebuck and Company, established the Julius Rosenwald Fund as a way to improve education for African Americans. Rosenwald was influenced by the work of Booker T. Washington at the Tuskegee Institute and that institution directed the efforts of the Fund until 1920 when a separate office was established in Nashville. The Foundation provided matching funds and school building plans. In Virginia, 367 schools in 79 localities were assisted with Rosenwald funds. Fifty percent of those constructed in Virginia were, like the Courtland School, of the two-teacher type. In the American South, 5,358 Rosenwald Schools were constructed, improving classroom conditions for over 648,000 African-American students, and providing educational opportunities for generations. Rosenwald schools often became sites for community pageants, exhibits, theatricals and other community activities and they often set the standard for the surrounding area with regard to architecture, sanitation and maintenance. Rosenwald schools in Virginia and the American South are the tangible reminders of the Fund 's initiatives for the advancement of African-American education during the first half of the twentieth century. Within this historic context, the Courtland School is locally significant under Criterion A in the areas of Ethnic Heritage: African American and Education and is locally signi ficant under Criterion C in the area of Architecture. The period of significance starts with the date of construction, 1928, and continues through 1963, when the school closed. '. \ ~ ., \\ ~ \ \ '. -\ ·n ~ \'\ t\ a,\''!

PUE-2016-00046 For approval of a rate adjustment clause pursuant to § 56-585.1 A 4 of the Code of Virginia ORDER FOR NOTICE AND HEARING On May 4, 2016, Virginia Electric and Power Company ("Dominion Virginia Power" or "Company"), pursuant to § 56-585.1 A 4 ("Subsection A 4") of the Code of Virginia ("Code"), submitted an application ("Application") with the State Corporation Commission ("Commission") for approval of a rate adjustment clause designated as Rider Tl. Subsection A 4 deems to be prudent the "costs for transmission services provided to the utility by the regional transmission entity of which the utility is a member" and "costs charged to the utility that are associated with demand response programs approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [("FERC")] and administered by the regional transmission entity of which the utility is a member." The Company has been a member of PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. ("PJM"), a regional transmission entity that has been approved by FERC as a regional transmission organization, since May 1, 2005.' Dominion Virginia Power, as an integrated electric utility member of PJM, obtains transmission service from PJM and pays PJM charges for such service at the rates contained in PJM's Open Access Transmission Tariff approved by FERC.2 The Company states 1 Application at 4. 2 Id. 0 for the rate year September 1, 2016, through August 31, 2017 ("Rate Year").4 This revenue requirement, if approved, would be recovered through a combination of base rates and a revised increment/decrement Rider Tl. Rider T1 is designed to recover the increment/decrement between the revenues produced from the transmission component of base rates and the new revenue requirement developed from the Company's total transmission costs for the Rate Year.5 The total revenue requirement to be recovered over the Rate Year is $638,782,866, comprising an increment Rider Tl of $178,931,394 and forecast collections of $459,851,472 through the transmission component of base rates.6 This total revenue requirement represents an increase of $1,255,818 over the revenues projected to be produced during the Rate Year by the combination of the base rate component of Subsection A 4 (the Company's former Rider T) and the Rider Tl rates currently in effect.7 Implementation of the proposed Rider Tl on September 1, 2016, would increase the average weighted monthly bill of a residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours per month by $0.30. Dominion Virginia Power also requests a waiver of Rules 20 VAC 5-201-60 ("Rule 60") and 20 VAC 5-201-90 ("Rule 90") of the Commission's Rules Governing Utility Rate 3 Id. at 5. 4 Id. at 1. 5 Id. at 6. 6 Id. at 7; Direct Testimony of David M. Wilkinson at 2, 5. 7 See Direct Testimony of David M. Wilkinson at 2-3; Application at 7. 8 Direct Testimony of Paul B. Haynes at 5. 2 © Applications and Annual Informational Filings ("Rate Case Rules") with respect to Schedule 45.9 ^ & <& Rule 60 of the Rate Case Rules requires that an application filed pursuant to Subsection A 4 include Schedule 45, "Return on Equity Peer Group Benchmark," with the utility's direct testimony. Rule 90 of the Rate Case Rules states that Schedule 45 must include, "documentation supporting the return on equity benchmark proposed pursuant to § 56-585.1 A 2 a and b of the Code ...." In support of its request for waiver of Schedule 45, Dominion Virginia Power states that it is not requesting treatment of any costs that would require the Commission to determine an applicable return on equity.10 NOW THE COMMISSION, upon consideration of this matter, is of the opinion and finds that this matter should be docketed; Dominion Virginia Power should provide public notice of its Application; a public hearing should be scheduled for the purpose of receiving testimony and evidence on the Application; interested persons should have an opportunity to file comments on the Application or to participate as a respondent in this proceeding; and the Commission's Staff ("Staff) should be directed to investigate the Application and file testimony and exhibits containing its findings and recommendations thereon. Further, we find that a Hearing Examiner should be assigned to conduct all further proceedings in this matter on behalf of the Commission, including filing a final report containing the Hearing Examiner's findings and recommendations. Finally, we grant Dominion Virginia Power's request to waive the filing of Schedule 45 for purposes of commencing this proceeding. 9 See 20 VAC 5-201 -10 et seq. 10 Application at 10. In the event the Commission denies Dominion Virginia Power's waiver request, the Company, in its Application, requests that the Commission: (1) refrain from making a determination that this filing is not in full compliance with the requirements of the Rate Case Rules; (2) allow this case to proceed according to the timetable established by the Company's May 4, 2016 filing; (3) permit the Company to submit the required information within fifteen business days; and (4) grant the Company such further relief as may be necessary or appropriate, fd. 3 0 © Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: ^ (1) This matter hereby is docketed and assigned Case No. PUE-2016-00046. @ tt'J (2) As provided by § 12.1-31 of the Code and the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure ("Rules of Practice"),11 a Hearing Examiner is appointed to conduct all further proceedings in this matter on behalf of the Commission.

VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY CASE NO. PUE-2016-00047 To revise its fuel factor pursuant to § 56-249.6 of the Code of Virginia ORDER ESTABLISHING 2016-2017 FUEL FACTOR PROCEEDING On May 4, 2016, Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Virginia Power ("Dominion Virginia Power" or "Company") filed with the State Corporation Commission ("Commission") its application ("Application") pursuant to § 56-249.6 of the Code of Virginia ("Code") seeking a decrease in its fiiel factor from 2.406 cents per kilowatt-hour ('Y/kWh") to 1.9710/kWh, effective for usage on and after July 1, 2016, on an interim basis.1 The Company's proposed fuel factor, reflected in Fuel Charge Rider A, consists of both a current and prior period factor. The Company's proposed current period factor for Fuel Charge Rider A of 2.115jVkWh is designed to recover the Company's estimated Virginia jurisdictional fuel expenses, including purchased power expenses, of approximately $1.4 billion for the period July 1, 2016, through June 30, 2017. The Company's proposed prior period factor for Fuel Charge Rider A of (0.1440/kWh) is designed to return the approximately $95 million overcollection, which represents the net of two projected June 30, 2016 fuel deferral balances.2 In total, Dominion Virginia Power's proposed fuel factor represents a 0.4350/kWh decrease from the fuel factor rate presently in effect of 2.4060/kWh, which was approved in 1 Application at 1-2. 2 Id. at 2. The first balance is the projected June 30, 2016 over-recovery balance of approximately $185.5 million associated with recovery of the July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016 current period expense. The second balance is the projected June 30, 2016 under-recovery balance of approximately $90.5 million associated with recovery of the remaining portion of the June 30, 2015 prior period expense. p m €3 Case No. PUE-2015-00022:3 According to the Company, this proposal would result in an annual ^ © fuel revenue decrease of approximately $286.2 million between July 1, 2016, and June 30, M m 2017.4 The total proposed fuel factor would decrease the average weighted monthly bill of a typical residential customer using 1,000 kWh of electricity by $4.35, or by approximately 3.8%.5 Finally, in conjunction with the filing of its Application, on May 4, 2016, the Company filed the Motion of Virginia Electric and Power Company for Entry of a Protective Order ("Motion for Protective Order") and a proposed protective order that establishes procedures governing the use of confidential information in this proceeding. NOW THE COMMISSION, upon consideration of this matter, is of the opinion and finds that Dominion Virginia Power should provide public notice of its Application; a public hearing should be scheduled for the purpose of receiving testimony and evidence on the Application; a procedural schedule should be established to allow interested persons an opportunity to file written or electronic comments on the Application or to participate in this proceeding as a respondent; and the Commission's Staff ("Staff) should be directed to investigate the Application and file testimony and exhibits containing its findings and recommendations thereon. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: (1) This matter is docketed and assigned Case No. PUE-2016-00047. 3 Id. at 2, Application of Virginia Electric and Power Company, To revise itsfuel factor pursuant to § 56-249.6 of the Code of Virginia, Case No. PUE-2015-00022, Doc.

PUE-2Q16-00047 On May 4, 2016, Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Virginia Power ("Dominion Virginia Power" or "Company") filed with the State Corporation Commission ("Commission") its application ("Application") pursuant to § 56-249.6 of the Code of Virginia ("Code") seeking a decrease in its fuel factor from 2.406 cents per kilowatt-hour ("0/kWh") to 1.971 jVkWh, effective for usage on and after July 1, 2016, on an interim basis. The Company's proposed fuel factor, reflected in Fuel Charge Rider A, consists of both a current and prior period factor. The Company's proposed current period factor for Fuel Charge Rider A of 2.1150/kWh is designed to recover the Company's estimated Virginiajurisdictional fuel expenses, including purchased power expenses, of approximately $1.4 billion for the period July 1, 2016, through June 30, 2017. The Company's proposed prior period factor for Fuel Charge Rider A of (0.144^/kWh) is designed to return the approximately $95 million overcollection, which represents the net of two projected June 30, 2016 fuel deferral balances. In total, Dominion Virginia Power's proposed fuel factor represents a 0.4350/kWh decrease from the fuel factor rate presently in effect of 2.406fi/kWh, which was approved in Case No. PUE-2015-00022. According to the Company, this proposal would result in an annual fuel revenue decrease of approximately $286.2 million between July 1, 2016, and June 30, 2017. The total 4 m © proposed fuel factor would decrease the average weighted monthly ^ bill of a typical residential customer using 1,000 kWh of electricity by $4.35, or by approximately 3.8%. W p The Commission entered an Order Establishing 2016-2017 Fuel Factor Proceeding ("Order") that, among other things, scheduled a public hearing to be held on September 14, 2016, at 10 a.m. in the Commission's second floor courtroom located in the Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, to receive testimony from members of the public and evidence related to the Application from the Company, any respondents, and the Commission's Staff.

Individuals with disabilities who require an accommodation to participate in the hearing should contact the Commission at least seven (7) days before the scheduled hearing at 1-800-552-7945. In its Order, the Commission also allowed the Company to place its proposed fuel factor of 1.971 jzi/kWh into effect on an interim basis for usage on and after July 1, 2016.

Columbia's Application advises that the proposed rates and charges are designed to increase the Company's annual non-gas base revenues by approximately $37 million per year, which includes $7 million currently being collected by the Company outside of base rates in a surcharge associated with its Steps to Advance Virginia's Energy plan ("SAVE Plan") pursuant to § 56-603 et seq.

PUE-2016-00033 On April 29, 2016, Columbia Gas of Virginia, Inc. ("Columbia" or "Company"), filed with the State Corporation Commission ("Commission") an application pursuant to Chapter 10 of Title 56 (§ 56-232 et seq.) of the Code of Virginia ("Code") requesting authority to increase its rates and charges, effective for the first billing unit of October 2016, and to revise other terms and conditions applicable to its gas service ("Application"). Columbia's Application advises that the proposed rates and charges are designed to increase the Company's annual non-gas base revenues by approximately $37 million per year, which includes $7 million currently being collected by the Company outside of 6 m yi base rates in a surcharge associated with its Steps to Advance ^ Virginia's Energy plan ("SAVE Plan") pursuant to § 56-603 ei seq. © ("SAVE Act"). Columbia states the requested increase in annual M non-gas base revenues reflects its costs and revenues for the test j|j!j year ending December 31, 2015, the increase in the Company's rate base since its last base rate increase in 2014 ("2014 Rate Case"), an updated capital structure and requested return on equity of 11.25%, and certain rate year adjustments that "reasonably can be predicted to occur" during the 12 months ending September 30, 2017 ("Rate Year"), as permitted by § 56-235.2 of the Code. According to the Application, in the time since Columbia was last authorized to increase its rates and charges in the 2014 Rate Case, Columbia has continued to make significant capital investments to improve the overall safety, reliability, and integrity of its natural gas system. Columbia further states it will have incurred $160 million in capital costs to improve the safety and reliability of its system from January 1, 2015, through the end of 2016, and anticipates that it will invest $76 million in capital improvements during the Rate Year. Columbia states a significant portion of the Company's capital investment subsequent to the 2014 Rate Case has occurred under its SAVE Plan, which was implemented in 2012 and focuses on proactive replacement of at-risk gas utility infrastructure to enhance system safety and reliability. In accordance with the SAVE Act, these costs that were previously approved pursuant to Columbia's SAVE Plan and are being collected in a surcharge outside of base rates, will be combined with non-gas base rates upon the effective date of those new rates, and the Company's SAVE surcharge will be reset to zero. Columbia states in its Application that, in the time since the 2014 Rate Case, the Company has continued to enhance pipeline safety and reliability through its formal integrity management program for its distribution system ("DIMP"), by identifying, prioritizing, and reducing gas distribution pipeline integrity risks. The Application states Columbia has incurred operations and maintenance costs associated with the implementation of the Company's DIMP initiatives as well as costs associated with compliance activities with federal pipeline safety advisories, collectively defined as "eligible safety activity costs" under § 56-235.10 of the Code. Columbia asserts the incremental levels of these eligible safety activity costs, not reflected in existing base rates, totaled approximately $8 million in 2015, and is projected to total approximately $6 million during the Rate Year. Columbia seeks, pursuant to § 56-235.10 of the Code, to recover, as deferred 7 © costs in new base rates, the incremental level of eligible safety ^ activity costs not reflected in existing base rates. © The Company further asserts that apart from DIMP ^ activities, it anticipates increases in operations and maintenance costs above the 2015 levels associated with five safety related initiatives focused primarily on emergency response, reducing third-party damages, and repairing open leaks. The Company states it has incurred increased costs related to enhanced employee and contractor training requirements to meet increasingly stringent state and federal safety and operational compliance standards, as well as to meet the needs of a changing work force. The Company also asserts it has experienced an increase in corporate service costs billed by its centralized services company. According to the Company this proposed rate increase would increase the average monthly bill of a typical residential customer using 5.8 dekatherms from approximately $65.74 to approximately $74.88, or by 13.90%.

CP15-554-000 CP15-554-001 SUPPLEMENTAL NOTICE OF INTENT TO PREPARE AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT AND PROPOSED LAND AND RESOURCE PLAN AMENDMENT(S) FOR THE PROPOSED ATLANTIC COAST PIPELINE, REQUEST FOR COMMENTS ON ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES RELATED TO NEW ROUTE AND FACILITY MODIFICATIONS, AND NOTICE OF PUBLIC SCOPING MEETINGS (May 3, 2016) On February 27, 2015, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) issued in Docket Nos. PF15-5-000 and PF15-6-000 a Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for the Planned Supply Header Project and Atlantic Coast Pipeline Project, and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues, and Notice of Public Scoping Meetings (NOI). On September 18, 2015, Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC (Atlantic) and Dominion Transmission, Inc. (DTI) filed applications with the FERC in Docket Nos. CP15-554-000 and CP15-555-000 pursuant to sections 7(b) and 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Parts 157 and 284 of the Commission’s regulations. Atlantic and DTI are seeking Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity (Certificates) to construct, own, and operate a natural gas pipeline and related facilities. On March 1, 2016, Atlantic filed an amendment to its application to incorporate route and facility modifications in West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina. This Supplemental Notice is being issued to seek comments on the new pipeline route and facility modifications and opens a new scoping period for interested parties to file comments on environmental issues specific to these modifications. Information about the facilities proposed by Atlantic and DTI can be found on our public dockets referenced above and on each applicant’s website at www.dom.com/corporate/what-we-do/atlantic-coast-pipeline or www.dom.com/corporate/what-we-do/natural-gas/supply-header-project. The FERC’s environmental impact statement (EIS) will encompass all proposed facilities and be used by the Commission in its decision-making process to determine whether the Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP) and Supply Header Project are in the public convenience and necessity. Docket Nos. CP15-554-000 and CP15-554-001 The FERC will be the lead federal agency for the preparation of the EIS. The U.S. Forest Service (USFS) is participating as a cooperating agency because the ACP would cross the Monongahela National Forest (MNF) and the George Washington National Forest (GWNF) in West Virginia and Virginia. As a cooperating agency, the USFS intends to adopt the EIS per Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 1506.3 to meet its responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) regarding Atlantic’s application for a Right-of-Way Grant and Temporary Use Permit for crossing federally administered lands. In addition, there may be a need for the USFS to amend the MNF and GWNF Land and Resource Management Plans (LRMP) to allow for the ACP to be constructed on USFS lands. The EIS will also provide the documentation to support needed amendments to the LRMPs. Additional details on the USFS’ LRMP Amendment Process is provided on page 8. The Commission previously solicited public input on the ACP in the spring of 2015. We1 are specifically seeking comments on the new pipeline route and facility modifications to help the Commission staff determine what issues need to be evaluated in the EIS. Your comments should focus on the potential environmental effects, reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impacts from the new route and proposed modifications. To ensure that your comments are timely and properly recorded, please send your comments so that the Commission receives them in Washington, DC on or before June 2, 2016. If you have previously provided comments on the ACP or Supply Header Projects, you do not need to resubmit them. You may submit comments in written form or verbally. In lieu of or in addition to sending written comments, the Commission invites you to attend the public scoping meetings scheduled as follows: Date and Time Location Marlinton Community Wellness Center Friday, May 20, 2016 320 9th Street 10:00 am – 7:00 pm Marlinton, WV 24954 Bath County High School Saturday, May 21, 2016 464 Charger Lane 10:00 am – 7:00 pm Hot Springs, VA 24445 The purpose of these scoping meetings is to provide an opportunity to verbally comment on the project modifications. You may attend at any time during the meeting, as 1 “We,” “us,” and “our” refer to the environmental staff of the Commission’s Office of Energy Projects. - 2 - Docket Nos. CP15-554-000 and CP15-554-001 the primary goal of a scoping meeting is for us to hear and document your environmental concerns. There will not be a formal presentation by Commission staff; however, we will be available to answer your questions about the FERC environmental review process. Representatives of Atlantic will also be present to answer questions about the project. Verbal comments will be recorded by a court reporter and transcripts will be placed into the docket for the project and made available for public viewing on FERC’s eLibrary system (see page 12 “Additional Information” for instructions on using eLibrary). It is important to note that verbal comments hold the same weight as written or electronically submitted comments. If a significant number of people are interested in providing verbal comments, a time limit of 3 to 5 minutes may be implemented for each commenter to ensure all those wishing to comment have the opportunity to do so within the designated meeting time. Time limits will be strictly enforced if they are implemented. This Supplemental Notice is being sent to the Commission’s current environmental mailing list for this project, including those landowners that are newly affected by the proposed pipeline route modifications. State and local government representatives are asked to notify their constituents of this proposed project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern. If you are a newly affected landowner receiving this notice, a pipeline company representative may contact you about the acquisition of an easement to construct, operate, and maintain the proposed facilities. The company would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement. However, if the Commission approves the project, that approval conveys with it the right of eminent domain. Therefore, if the easement negotiations fail to produce an agreement, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation proceedings where compensation would be determined in accordance with state law. A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled “An Interstate Natural Gas Facility on My Land? What Do I Need To Know?” is available for viewing on the FERC website (www.ferc.gov). This fact sheet addresses a number of typically asked questions, including the use of eminent domain and how to participate in the Commission’s proceedings. Summary of Project Modifications In its amended application, Atlantic proposes a major route change through the MNF and GWNF that would affect landowners in Randolph and Pocahontas Counties, West Virginia and Highland, Bath, and Augusta Counties, Virginia. Other, smaller route changes proposed in the amendment would affect landowners in Nelson and Dinwiddie Counties, Virginia; and Cumberland and Johnston Counties, North Carolina. The amended facilities would increase the total length of the pipeline from about 556 miles to - 3 - Docket Nos. CP15-554-000 and CP15-554-001 599.7 miles and compressor station horsepower from 40,715 horsepower to 53,515 horsepower at the proposed Buckingham County, Virginia compressor station, all as more fully described in the amended application. An overview map of the proposed ACP and SHP and illustrations of these alternatives are provided in Appendix 1. Detailed alternative route location information can be found on DTI’s interactive web mapping application at https://www.dom.com/corporate/what-we-do/atlantic-coast-pipeline. GWNF 6 Route Modification (Randolph and Pocahontas Counties, West Virginia; Highland, Bath, and Augusta Counties, Virginia) To reduce potential impacts on the Cheat Mountain salamander, West Virginia Northern flying squirrel, and Cow Knob salamander, and to avoid sensitive habitats and land uses, Atlantic incorporated the GWNF 6 Alternative into its proposed pipeline route between AP-1 mileposts (MPs) 47.5 and 115.2. Relative to Atlantic’s originally proposed route, the GWNF 6 Route Modification initially heads south approximately 13 miles, passing east of Hicks Ridge and west of Kumbrabow State Forest. The route continues south/southeast approximately 13 miles, crossing Point Mountain and passing east of Elk Mountain and Mingo Knob. The route enters Pocahontas County, West Virginia southeast of Mingo Knob at Valley Mountain, and continues south approximately 8 miles, crossing Mace, Tallow, and Gibson Knobs, passing west of the Snowshoe Ski Resort. South of Gibson Knob, the route heads southeast approximately 17 miles, passing south of Cheat Mountain and Back Allegheny Mountain; crossing Cloverlick Mountain, Seneca State Forest, and Michael Mountain; and entering Highland County, Virginia just west of Big Crooked Ridge. After entering Virginia, the GWNF 6 Alternative continues east approximately 3 miles then southeast approximately 8 miles, crossing Little Ridge, Big Ridge, and Little Mountain and passing east of Piney Ridge. The route enters Bath County, Virginia near U.S. Highway 220, and continues southeast approximately 14 miles, crossing Back Creek Mountain, Jack Mountain, and Tower Hill Mountain and passing south of Shenandoah Mountain at South Sister Knob. The route heads northeast approximately 20 miles, passing north of Chestnut Ridge; entering Augusta County, Virginia near Brushy Ridge; and crossing Deerfield Valley on the east side of Shenandoah Mountain. The GWNF 6 Alternative intersects Atlantic’s filed route near MP 115.2 at Broad Draft near West Augusta, Virginia. In addition to the route modification described above, Atlantic also proposes to increase the horsepower of its proposed Compressor Station 2 in Buckingham County, Virginia and install eight additional valve sites. - 4 - Docket Nos. CP15-554-000 and CP15-554-001 Snowshoe Route Adjustment (Randolph and Pocahontas Counties, Virginia) Atlantic incorporated the Snowshoe Route Variation into its proposed route between AP-1 MPs 66.7 and 70.1 to avoid modeled habitat for the Cheat Mountain salamander and the Cheat Mountain Civil War Battlefield, as well as reducing the amount of forest land and other sensitive environmental features crossed. Relative to Atlantic’s originally proposed route, the Snowshoe Route Variation initially heads west/southwest for 0.8 mile, crossing the main ridge on Valley Mountain, then continuing for approximately 2.6 miles, descending Valley Mountain, crossing Dry Fork Spring and Middle Mountain, and entering the valley along Big Fork Spring. The route then crosses Highway 56 in the valley, and continues to the south/southwest for approximately 1.3 miles, ascending Tallow Knob and reconnecting to the originally proposed route at MP 70.1. Singleton Route Adjustment (Bath County, Virginia) Atlantic incorporated the Singleton Route Adjustment into its proposed route between AP-1 MPs 91.9 and 92.7 to avoid an open-space conservation easement held by the Virginia Outdoors Foundation. Relative to Atlantic’s originally proposed route, the Singleton Route Adjustment is generally parallel to and within 0.3 mile of the corresponding segment of the originally proposed route. Horizons Village 2 Route Adjustment (Nelson County, Virginia) In response to our environmental information request dated December 4, 2015, and to avoid crossing the Spruce Creek Tributary Conservation Site, Atlantic incorporated the Horizons Village 2 Route Adjustment into its proposed pipeline route between AP-1 MPs 162.0 and 162.8. Relative to Atlantic’s originally proposed route, the Horizons Village 2 Route Adjustment would pass approximately 310 feet south of the conservation site. Highway 29 Route Adjustment (Nelson County, Virginia) In response to our environmental information request dated December 4, 2015, and to avoid an area of high slip potential, improve the location for the crossing of Highway 29, and optimize the amount of agricultural and open land crossed, Atlantic incorporated the Highway 29 Route Variation into its proposed pipeline route between AP-1 MPs 167.0 and 171.1. Relative to Atlantic’s originally proposed route, the Highway 29 Route Variation initially heads south for approximately 0.2 mile following a ridge to the top of Roberts Mountain, then continues southeast for approximately 1.7 miles following a ridge to the base of Roberts Mountain at the crossing of Davis Creek. This segment of the route crosses Highway 29 on the same north trending finger ridge as the proposed route, but in an area with flatter terrain at the crossing. On the south side of the highway, the route continues to the southeast for approximately 2.2 miles, including a 0.2-mile-long - 5 - Docket Nos. CP15-554-000 and CP15-554-001 segment parallel to Starvale Lane. The Highway 29 Route Variation reconnects to the originally proposed route on the east side of Wheelers Cove Road at approximately MP 171.1. Beaver Pond Creek Route Adjustment (Dinwiddie County, Virginia) In response to our environmental information request dated December 4, 2015, and to reduce the number of crossings of Beaver Pond Creek and address comments provided by the Ward Burton Wildlife Foundation, Atlantic incorporated the Beaver Pond Creek Route Variation into its proposed pipeline route between AP-1 MPs 256.5 and 259.3. Relative to Atlantic’s originally proposed route, the Beaver Pond Creek Route Variation initially heads south/southwest for approximately 111.1 miles to a point just south of Whitmore Road, then heads south for approximately 1.6 miles over mostly upland terrain, crossing Beaver Creek Pond in one location, reconnecting with the originally proposed route near MP 259.3. Juniper Farms Route Adjustment (Johnston County, North Carolina) Atlantic incorporated the Juniper Farms Route Variation into its proposed route between AP-2 MPs 96.9 and 98.4 to avoid a wetland mitigation bank, and to reduce the amount of sensitive environmental features and constraints crossed. Relative to Atlantic’s originally proposed route, the Juniper Farms Route Variation initially heads southwest for approximately 1.2 miles, passing east of the eastern boundary of the mitigation bank. The route variation then reconnects with the originally proposed route at MP 98.4 on the north side of the Neuse River crossing. Fayetteville Major Route Modification (Cumberland County, North Carolina) In response to our environmental information request dated December 4, 2015, and to increase collocation with an existing Progress Energy Carolinas (PEC) 500 kilovolt electric transmission line, and reduce the number of affected property owners, the number of waterbody crossings, and temporary wetland impacts, Atlantic incorporated the Fayetteville Major Route Alternative into its proposed pipeline route between AP-2 MPs 133.1 and 157.5. Relative to Atlantic’s originally proposed route, the Fayetteville Major Route Alternative initially heads south/southeast for approximately 3.9 miles to the point where it intersects the existing PEC electric transmission line, crossing Drum Road, Interstate 95, and Goldsboro Road. The route then heads south for approximately 16.7 miles, parallel to and adjacent to the electric transmission line corridor, and crosses Clinton Road and Cedar Creek Road. The route continues west for approximately 5.5 miles, crossing Tabor Church Road, Cape Fear River, and North Carolina State Highway 87 reconnecting with the originally proposed route near MP 157.5. - 6 - Docket Nos. CP15-554-000 and CP15-554-001 The EIS Process NEPA requires the Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could result from an action whenever it considers the issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. NEPA also requires us to discover and address concerns the public may have about proposals. This process is referred to as scoping. The main goal of the scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EIS on the important environmental issues. By this notice, the Commission requests public comments on the scope of the issues to address in the EIS. We will consider all filed comments during the preparation of the EIS. In the EIS we will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of the construction and operation of the proposed projects under these general headings: geology and soils; land use; water resources, fisheries, and wetlands; cultural resources; vegetation and wildlife; air quality and noise; endangered and threatened species; outdoor recreation and scenery socioeconomics; and public safety. We will also evaluate reasonable alternatives to the proposed project or portions of the project, and make recommendations on how to lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas. The EIS will present our independent analysis of the issues. We will publish and distribute the draft EIS for public comment. After the comment period, we will consider all timely comments and revise the document, as necessary, before issuing a final EIS. To ensure we have the opportunity to consider and address your comments, please carefully follow the instructions in the Public Participation section beginning on page 9. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and USFS also have responsibilities under NEPA and can adopt the EIS for their own agencies purposes. The USFS intends to use this EIS to evaluate the effects of the ACP on lands and facilities managed by the agency and to address any proposed amendments of applicable LRMPs that would be necessary to make provisions for the projects. With this Supplemental Notice, we are asking agencies with jurisdiction by law and/or special expertise with respect to the environmental issues related to these projects - 7 - Docket Nos. CP15-554-000 and CP15-554-001 to formally cooperate with us in the preparation of the EIS.2 Agencies that would like to request cooperating agency status should follow the instructions for filing comments provided under the Public Participation section of this notice. As discussed above, the USFS has expressed its intention to participate as a cooperating agency in the preparation of the EIS to satisfy its NEPA responsibilities related to these projects. In addition to the USFS, the USACE, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection, and West Virginia Division of Natural Resources have also agreed to participate as cooperating agencies. Proposed Actions of the U.S. Forest Service On November 12, 2015 Atlantic submitted a right-of-way grant application to the USFS to construct, operate, maintain, and eventually decommission a natural gas pipeline that crosses lands and facilities administered by the USFS. In addition, there is a need for the USFS to consider amending affected LRMPs to make provision for the ACP right-of- way. The proposed action before the USFS has two components. First, in accordance with the Minerals Leasing Act, the USFS would issue a right-of-way grant in response to ACP’s application for the project to occupy federal lands. The USFS may submit specific stipulations, including mitigation measures, for inclusion in the right-of-way grant related to lands, facilities, and easements within its jurisdiction. Second, the USFS may need to amend its LRMPs for the Monongahela and George Washington National Forests if analysis shows that construction of the ACP would not be consistent with the LRMP standards or other plan components. In addition, the ACP, as proposed, does not follow a designated utility corridor through the GWNF. If the proposed route were authorized with the right-of-way grant, the GWNF LRMP would need to be amended to change the current Management Areas in the corridor to Management Area 5C-Designated Utility Corridors. The MNF does not have LRMP direction that would require a similar plan amendment to reallocate management prescriptions. The USFS Regional Foresters of the respective national forests have authority to grant a right-of-way in response to Atlantic’s application for natural gas transmission on federal lands under the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920. The Responsible Official for amendment of Forest Service LRMPs is the Forest Supervisor of the applicable national forest. However, the Regional Forester of the applicable national forest may elect to be the Responsible Official for the plan amendments as well, since the Regional Forester will be the Responsible Official for the right-of-way grant. 2 The Council on Environmental Quality regulations addressing cooperating agency responsibilities are at Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 1501.6. - 8 - Docket Nos. CP15-554-000 and CP15-554-001 This NOI initiates the scoping process for the potential LRMP amendments and for the issuance of the right-of-way grant. The decisions will be tiered to the analysis contained in the FERC EIS for the ACP. The Notice of Availability for the FERC draft EIS will contain more detailed information associated with the LRMP amendments. Consultations Under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act In accordance with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation’s implementing regulations for Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, we are using this notice to initiate consultation with the applicable State Historic Preservation Offices, and to solicit their views and those of other government agencies, interested Indian tribes, and the public on the projects’ potential effects on historic properties.3 We will define the project-specific Area of Potential Effects (APE) in consultation with the SHPOs as the projects develop. On natural gas facility projects, the APE at a minimum encompasses all areas subject to ground disturbance (examples include construction right-of-way, contractor/pipe storage yards, compressor stations, and access roads). Our EIS for these projects will document our findings on the impacts on historic properties and summarize the status of consultations under Section 106. Public Participation You can make a difference by providing us with your specific comments or concerns about the ACP and proposed USFS LRMP amendments. Your comments should focus on the potential environmental effects, reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impacts. The more specific your comments, the more useful they will be. To ensure that your comments are timely and properly recorded, please send your comments so that the Commission receives them in Washington DC on or before June 2, 2016. If you have previously provided comments on the ACP or Supply Header Projects, you do not need to resubmit them. The USFS is participating as a cooperating agency with the FERC in this public scoping process. With this notice, the USFS is requesting public comments on the issuance of the ROW Grant that would allow the ACP to occupy federal land. The USFS is also requesting public comments on the potential amendments of USFS LRMPs to make provision for the ACP right-of-way on the Monongahela and George Washington National Forests. 3 The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation regulations are at Title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 800. Those regulations define historic properties as any prehistoric or historic district, site, building, structure, or object included in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. - 9 - Docket Nos. CP15-554-000 and CP15-554-001 Comments on actions by the USFS should be submitted through the FERC comment process and within the timeline described. The submission of timely and specific comments can affect a reviewer’s ability to participate in subsequent administrative or judicial review of USFS decisions. Comments concerning USFS actions submitted anonymously will be accepted and considered; however, such anonymous submittals will not provide the commenters with standing to participate in administrative or judicial review of USFS decisions. For your convenience, there are three methods you can use to submit your comments to the Commission. In all instances, please reference the appropriate project docket number (CP15-554-000 for the ACP) with your submission. The Commission will provide equal consideration to all comments received, whether filed in written form or provided verbally. The Commission encourages electronic filing of comments and has expert staff available to assist you at (202) 502-8258 or [email protected]. Please carefully follow these instructions so that your comments are properly recorded.

This list also includes all affected landowners (as defined in the Commission’s - 10 - Docket Nos. CP15-554-000 and CP15-554-001 regulations) who are potential right-of-way grantors, whose property may be used temporarily for project purposes, or who own homes within certain distances of aboveground facilities, as well as anyone who submits comments on the projects. We will update the environmental mailing list as the analysis proceeds to ensure that we send the information related to this environmental review to all individuals, organizations, and government entities interested in and/or potentially affected by the planned projects. Copies of the completed draft EIS will be sent to the environmental mailing list for public review and comment. If you would prefer to receive a paper copy of the document instead of the CD version or would like to remove your name from the mailing list, please return the attached Information Request (appendix 2). Becoming an Intervenor In addition to involvement in the EIS scoping process, you may want to become an “intervenor” which is an official party to the Commission’s proceeding. Intervenors play a more formal role in the process and are able to file briefs, appear at hearings, and be heard by the courts if they choose to appeal the Commission's final ruling. An intervenor formally participates in the proceeding by filing a request to intervene. Instructions for becoming an intervenor are in the User’s Guide under the “e-filing” link on the Commission’s website. Administrative Review of USFS Decisions Decisions by the USFS to issue ROW Grants and amend LRMPs are subject to administrative review. Pre-decisional objections to the ROW Grant decisions and project-specific MNF and GWNF LRMP amendments that are applicable only to the ACP, as provided under Title 36 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 219.59(b) (36 CFR 219.59[b]), may be filed under the 36 CFR 218 regulations, Subparts A and B.
