neighboreven though they had already accounted for the move in their original

where folks in Mount Joy Township are baited into agreeing that their neighbors in
Rapho Township can be sacrificed to this massive pipeline venture?
Do you know that the primary goal of the 177 mi. Atlantic Sunrise expansion of the
TRANSCO is transport to export depotslike the one planned by Dominion Energy at

project include forest fragmentation, soil compaction, escalated flooding potential,
water and air pollutionincluding possible exposure to carcinogens and
neurotoxins?
Are you aware of Williams disturbing record of pipeline leaks and explosions,
several which have resulted in death?
Do you know that no public comment was permitted at the Rapho Township
meeting between Williams and township supervisors?
Do you think that Rapho Township supervisor Lowell Frys comment that Our
country likes energy and needs energy justifies a pipeline expansion that
