DC still wants to hear your voice on LNG trucks on DeRenne. Act Now!

The FERC in Washington will let residents make their voice heard on the El Paso LNG trucks traversing DeRenne.
Here's how to get involved, and help save your neighborhood:

From homepage for FERC  http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/ferconline.asp click on e-filing on the menu on the left side of screen

When you get to the screen which asks filing type click on "General". 

Then in the next box click on "Protest". then "next".

On next screen then enter the Docket number CP10-477-000, then click on "search". Next screen will show that docket, click on "+" It will then add the docket , Click on next. 

 You can then go to Word and write your complaint or attach it, if you have already written it. I included docket number CP10-477-000 in my protest also. Then submit.

Keep your confirmation info. I didn't print it, but wrote it down.  FERC will e-mail you once it is received also. They will also e-mail when your e-filing  is accepted.

OR, You can write a complaint and mail it in. This is way easier!!! (just not as timely, so I beg you to e-file. ) It should have 6 copies per FERC staff(not 14).  It is not necessary to have the 6 copies,however. FERC will make the copies to distribute for you. If you mail it please keep a copy.

Some points to mention on your comments-

1.  No streets in Savannah can accommodate 58 trucks coming in and out of Savannah (116/ day)

2.  Numerous homes and neighborhoods along DeRenne Avenue

3.  All of DeRenne Avenue east of Abercorn is a locally owned street and not approved for transporting haz-mat.

4.  Two hospitals use DeRenne for ambulance transport. St. Joseph/Candler Hospital and several medical facilities are located directly on DeRenne.

5.   HunterAAF is on I-516 just west of DeRenne and on the proposed route.

6.  Community members just completed and city council approved a plan for DeRenne Avenue, called Project DeRenne, which will narrow the lanes    and reclaim DeRenne as a more pedestrian and community friendly street.

7.   Fairway Oaks neighborhood was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in May of 2009 as the first mid-century neighborhood to attain this designation in Georgia. 

8. The Tatumville neighborhood, just west of DeRenne , which is adjacent to I-516, has homes which are extremely close to the highway.
