Four agencies have specifically stated the DEIS is deficient, must be revised, and possibly supplemented. (The Army Corps feels the same, but, as a Cooperating Agency, didn’t use those terms.)
All five call for greater studies of alternative routes along existing easements. The specific requests vary by agency.
They all think going through interior / upland forests, and forested wetlands, is madness.
Most have said that the DEIS is incomplete because 24% (30 miles) of the proposed route HAVE NOT BEEN SURVEYED.
— big round of applause for the resisting landowners!
Here are links to the heavy weight agency comments:

I’m slowing reading everyone’s comments. It will take some time for me to get through them all.
We’ve really done a remarkable job. Thanks to everyone for your time and financial contributions.
