SUMMARY:Stop the Mountain Valley Pipeline Action Party
DESCRIPTION:The International Energy Agency has concluded that there must be no new oil\, gas or coal development if the world is to reach net zero by 2050. \n\n\nOn September 6th at 7 pm (ET)\, Climate Action Now will host a free action party with four extraordinary activists battling the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) and Senator Manchin’s side deal to accelerate new fossil fuel infrastructure. Register Today! \n\n\nOur featured guests will brief us on what’s at stake and guide us through concrete actions we can take to help stop the MVP and side deal during the party with the free Climate Action Now app. \n\n\nWhy September 6th? The timing is critical. First\, activists will assemble at Congressional offices on Sept. 8 in Washington D.D. to lobby against the MVP and we want them to walk into offices that have already heard from a LOT of people opposing the project. Also\, rumor has it that the “Manch side-deal” will be voted on by the end of September as part of the budget package. So\, we need to quickly ramp up our efforts to stop it. \nAbout the Featured Guests:\nCrystal Cavalier-Keck is the co-founder of Seven Directions of Service with her husband. She is a citizen of the Occaneechi Band of the Saponi Nation in Burlington\, NC and Chair of the Environmental Justice Committee for the NAACP. \nRussell Chisholm serves as Mountain Valley Watch Coordinator for the Protect Our Water\, Heritage Rights coalition in the campaign to stop Mountain Valley Pipeline and dangerous fossil fuel expansion through Virginia and West Virginia. The Mountain Valley Watch project documents and reports potential violations of environmental law from pipeline construction. \nJessica Sims is the Appalachian Voices Virginia Field Coordinator. Born and raised in Central Virginia. Jessica is has worked extensively with Chesapeake Climate Action Network and the Sierra Club Virginia Chapter on their pipeline campaigns. \nJonathan Sokolow is an attorney and activist in Reston\, Virginia who served as a Staff Attorney with the Legal Aid Society of the City of New York\, General Counsel to the Vermont State Employees Union. and Senior Assistant General Counsel to the United Mine Workers of America Health and Retirement Funds.

SUMMARY:Virtual Hearing for Duke Energy's Carbon Plan: Evening Hearing
DESCRIPTION:On May 16th\, Duke Energy submitted a proposed Carbon Plan for public comment in compliance with NC HB 951 requiring the NC Utilities Commission (NCUC) to develop a Carbon Plan by the end of 2022. The Commission is directed to achieve a reduction of 70% from 2005 levels by the year 2030 and carbon neutrality by the year 2050. \nDuke’s Plan doesn’t do enough to cut carbon emissions per HB 951 while lacking transparency and allowing for increased costs against ratepayers. Adding insult to injury\, it does nothing to combat fracking and pipelines or animal waste digester and biogas activities\, which directly impact drinking water resources in addition to climate and air quality. These practices disparately impact rural\, low-income\, and BIPOC communities. \nLearn more about Duke Energy’s Dirty Energy Plan\, Hearing Dates\, & What YOU Can Do \n \nThe two virtual hearings will be held remotely via Webex\, with members of the public participating by phone. People who would like to testify must register in advance by 5:00pm\, August 16\, 2022\, by emailing the Commission at ncucpublichearing@ncuc.net or by calling 919-733-0837. \nPeople who want to register must provide their name\, the docket number (E-100 Sub 179)\, the telephone number that they will use to participate in the hearing\, and the topic of their testimony. Only the first 20 people registered for each remote hearing session will be allowed to testify. \nPeople who simply want to observe a remote hearing may do so via the live stream link on this website. Here is more information on how to participate in a remote hearing. \nAny person or entity may submit written statements to inform the Commission of their positions on the Carbon Plan. Statements should be mailed to the address below\, and reference Docket No. E 100\, Sub 179. \nPersons may also electronically submit a position statement to the Commission about the Carbon Plan via the Commission’s website \nTo send your comments via mail:\n4325 Mail Service Center\nRaleigh\, NC 27699-4300 \nMore information about the upcoming hearings and how to give comment can be found on this Utilities Commission resource page.

SUMMARY:Moral March on Raleigh
DESCRIPTION:The Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival is bringing a Moral Monday March on Raleigh to the steps of the state legislature on Jones Street. In North Carolina\, we know the power of bringing together a fusion coalition of people around a common set of demands. The state legislature continues to drive its extremist agenda using voter suppression and gerrymandered maps. Their policies are disproportionately hurting the 4.6 million poor and low-income people of our state. And the US Congress has failed thus far to pass real support that would fill the gap. We are coming to Raleigh to put our state and federal elected officials that this system is killing ALL of us and we can’t… we won’t… we refuse to be silent anymore! \nThe Moral Monday March on Raleigh is part of a 10-stop mobilization tour toward the Mass Poor People’s and Low Wage Workers’ Assembly and Moral March on Washington and to the Polls on June 18\, 2022. \nThe Moral Monday March on Raleigh will lift up the voices of impacted people from across NC as well as Virginia and South Carolina\, joined by faith leaders\, moral allies\, and artists to demand that NC and this whole nation do MORE to live up its possibilities. \nRead more about how you can join us in Raleigh for the Poor People Campaign’s Moral March!

SUMMARY:State Accepting Public Comments on Draft Permit to address Chemours Groundwater Contamination
DESCRIPTION:State Accepting Public Comments on Draft Permit to address Chemours Groundwater Contamination \nPermit is part of remediation plan to prevent PFAS discharge to the Cape Fear River \nThe North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Division of Water Resources (DWR) is accepting public comments on a draft permit to treat PFAS-contaminated groundwater\, surface water and stormwater from the Chemours Fayetteville Works site before discharge into the Cape Fear River. The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) wastewater permit is part of the required actions to prevent residual PFAS pollution from entering the Cape Fear River\, as outlined in the 2020 Addendum to the 2019 Consent Order. \nThe draft NPDES permit only allows the discharge of treated water associated with the remediation activities. It does not allow the discharge of wastewater from plant operations or processes. \nUnder the 2020 Addendum\, Chemours was required to address four identified seeps that account for more than half of the PFAS contamination in the groundwater entering the river. The required interim measures have been installed and Chemours has submitted plans to DEQ for approval of the permanent measure: a more than one-mile-long\, subsurface barrier wall and groundwater extraction system to capture contaminated groundwater and prevent it from entering the Cape Fear River. The draft NPDES permit requires treatment to remove PFAS contamination from the groundwater\, surface water and stormwater captured by the extraction system before discharge into the Cape Fear River. The system must remove at least 99% of PFAS and meet daily and monthly effluent limits as specified in the permit conditions. \nThe proposed NPDES permit does not change the conditions of any previous NPDES permit held by Chemours. \nDWR is accepting comments on the draft permit until May 2\, 2022. To submit comment by email\, send to publiccomments@ncdenr.gov with CHEMOURS noted in the subject line. Public comments may also be mailed to Wastewater Permitting\, Attn: Chemours Permit\, 1617 Mail Service Center\, Raleigh\, N.C.\, 27699-1617. \nThe draft permit and fact sheet are available to view online.
