We, the undersigned members of the Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN) call on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to draft a full Environmental Impact Statement for the Southeast Supply Enhancement Project (SSEP). CCAN is the first nonprofit in the Chesapeake region dedicated to exclusively fighting global warming. For twenty years our members in Virginia and across the United States have called for increased public participation and a true accounting of the environmental costs when evaluating fossil fuel infrastructure projects.

The SSEP (Docket No. CP25-10-000) proposes to add 1.6 million dekatherms per day of pipeline transportation capacity to Transco’s system. This is a huge project with potentially devastating impacts to water, air, species and communities. For such a large project an Environmental Analysis is insufficient. To make a fully informed decision about the project, FERC should complete a full Environmental Impact Statement, with robust consideration of the “no action alternative.”
