Petition is no longer active.

Dear Joe Grist, Program Manager: Water Withdrawal Permitting and Compliance, DEQ, As a person of faith and/or conscience, I’m concerned about the prospects of a gas plant being built in Charles City County. Please notify me when the comment period begins for the special exception, so that I can comment on it. One of my important values is to care for my neighbors. I am also concerned that, given that the Charles City County community really had inadequate notification of the air permit, this comment period appears to be coinciding with the holidays. This is a busy time of year, especially for people of faith, so I’d like to see the comment period extended to at least 60 days, rather than a mere 30 days. I also would like the DEQ to host more than one information session, so that the community gets better notification around water concerns than they received before the air permit.
