(Dominion) (NYSE: D); Duke Energy Corporation (NYSE: DUK); Piedmont Natural Gas Co., Inc. (NYSE: PNY); and AGL Resources, Inc. (NYSE: GAS). The company was created to develop, own, and operate the proposed Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP or Project), an approximately 603.8-mile-long interstate natural gas transmission pipeline system designed to meet growing energy needs in Virginia and North Carolina (see Appendix A, figure 1). The ACP will be capable of delivering up to 1.5 million dekatherms per day (MMDth/d) of natural gas that will be used to generate electricity, heat homes, and run local businesses. The Project will facilitate cleaner air, increase the reliability and security of natural gas supplies, and provide a significant economic boost in West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina. More information is provided at the company’s website at www.dom.com/acpipeline. Atlantic has contracted with Dominion Transmission, Inc. (DTI), a subsidiary of Dominion, to permit, build, and operate the ACP on behalf of Atlantic. Atlantic is seeking authorization from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) under Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act to construct, own, operate, and maintain the following proposed facilities for the ACP system: Mainline Pipeline Facilities: AP-1: approximately 333.1 miles of underground 42-inch outside diameter natural gas transmission pipeline in Harrison, Lewis, Upshur, Randolph, and Pocahontas Counties, West Virginia; Highland, Bath, Augusta, Nelson, Buckingham, Cumberland, Prince Edward, Nottoway, Dinwiddie, Brunswick, and Greensville Counties, Virginia; and Northampton County, North Carolina. AP-2: approximately 186.0 miles of underground 36-inch outside diameter natural gas transmission pipeline in Northampton, Halifax, Nash, Wilson, Johnston, Sampson, Cumberland, and Robeson Counties, North Carolina. Lateral Pipeline Facilities: AP-3: approximately 83.2 miles of underground 20-inch outside diameter natural gas lateral pipeline in Northampton County, North Carolina; and Greensville and Southampton Counties and the Cities

This project proposes to restore, to the greatest extent possible, the aquatic and ecological integrity of at least forty miles of the West Fork River and many more miles of adjoining tributaries. This project has the potential to restore more suitable habitat for as many as twenty-five species of freshwater mussels including two federally listed species. Liability to the dam’s owners, the Clarksburg Water Board, will be substantially reduced with implementation of the recommended alternative.

A large thank you also goes to my mom for fearlessly driving us over not just Bald Knob Mountain and Saddle Mountain, but also Backbone Mountain, which, unbeknownst to us at the time, is the highest point in the state of Maryland, all in the quest for my research’s “holy grail.” I owe many thanks to my advisor, Dr. Randolph Roth, for his support and guidance.

NATIONAL MUSEUM Vol. 84 Washington: 1937 No. 3022 ANNOTATED LIST OF WEST VIRGINIA MAMMALS By Remington Kellogg Assistant Curator, Division of Mammals, United States National Museum In the spring of 1936 the Smithsonian Institution completed ar- rangements for a party from the United States National Museum to make a collection of birds and mammals in West Virginia. In ac- cordance with instructions I accompanied the party across the State to Cabell County, where a camp was established about 4 miles east of Huntington on April 19, 1936. After making a number of short trips along the stream valleys of adjoining counties to appraise col- lecting prospects, I returned to Washington, D. C, on April 25. Watson M. Perrygo and Carleton Lingebach continued with the work until July 9 and then returned to Washington. On September 16 they went again to W^est Virginia and remained there until November 7. Included in this report are all the West Virginia specimens in the National Museum and the Biological Survey collections. Seventy- three forms of Recent mammals are recorded as present either now or formerly within the boundaries of the State. Measurements herein are given in millimeters. The collectors of the specimens herein discussed are listed as follows chronologically according to the year in w^hich the material was obtained: 152554—3T 1 443 444 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM VOL. 84 U.
