25 mile 200" ROW will be worth TWO MILLION DOLLARS

Now we know why DOMINION has TOTALLY IGNORED the land owners
in Randolph County, WV. #1 is intelligence and #2 bribery.

Here are the answers:

1. I N T E L L I G E N C E

"NO SURVEY PERMISSION UNTIL I SEE A MAP

AND YOU ANSWER MY QUESTIONS."

Standard response for FIVE months from dozens of landowners, 
since JUNE 2014, of the  majority of rural land owners in Mill Creek
and Huttonsville, WV to the barrage of letters and phone calls from 
Dominion Transmission and their surveyors Doyle Land Co.

This quote from Bob Orndorff, Dominion spokesperson does not ring true:

As leader of WV WILDERNESS LOVERS and in personal contact with
about half of these land owners - I know of TWO who have allowed surveying.

I am certain there are more but CERTAINLY NOT 75% [My Virginia counterparts are gathering stats also to disprove Dominions figures.]

2.  B R I B E R Y
DOMINION HAS CREATED shall we call "A NEW PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX" to bribe the Randolph County Commission, our elected officials.

I say with FIRM CONFIDENCE that the Dominion has NOT spoken with the
RANDOLPH COUNTY ASSESSORS OFFICE at any time not sent correspondence.
They have met privately with the Randolph County Commission.

Now that's alot of mula!!!!!

During the TWO YEARS OF HELL of TRAFFIC - DRILLING- BLASTING - 

200' CLEAR CUT OF FOREST LAND we read that DOMINION will graciously pay the COUNTY a $ 3,000. [Imagine if you will, life style for the residents

LIVING ON THIS LAND]

In 2018 once operational this "NEW TAX" will be $74,00.

The NEXT YEAR, 2019 when the methane is roaring at full speed and full capacity this grows to $250,000. In 2020 $1.8 MILLION dollars and in TWO YEARS it will be $2.15 MILLION.

ENTIRE ARTICLE HERE:

So, the SAME 200' right of way 25 miles long through mostly private land is:

- worth condemning to seize for use

- worth a TWO year court battle to gain EMINENT DOMAIN for EACH PARCEL

- worth to the COUNTY a QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS in FOUR YEARS?

Interesting.

EMINENT DOMAIN is NOT automatic even if FERC does give the go ahead.

It means they CAN take the LAND OWNER to court with a JURY of 12 residents

to figure PROPER COMPENSATION - and now this is SO SIMPLER!!!!!

we have these FIGURES! 

What's $2.15 million divided by 25 miles 

divided by 81 plots?

FINALLY DOMINION COMES TO RANDOLPH COUNTY WV
BUT NOT TO TALK TO THE LAND OWNERS 20 MILES SOUTH
SPOKE11-5-14 AT ELKINS CHAMBER COMMERCE LUNCHEONNOTE: THEY REFUSE TO HAVE AN OPEN HOUSE
TO SHOW MAPS AND SPEAK WITH RESIDENTS
GREED VS COMMON SENSE

DOMINION TRANSMISSION HAS CREATED WHAT THEY THINK
IS A FOOL PROOF WAY TO GET THE 25 MILES THEY NEED 
IN RANDOLPH COUNTY, WV for their 550 mile long methaneline.

THEY HAVE CREATED A NEW "PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX"
that will grow to TWO MILLION DOLLARS a year by 2022.

NOTE: This action is WITHOUT speaking to the Randolph County Assessors 
office who is our elected official and her job is TAXES!!!

This is the SAME land that DOMINION plans to CONDEMN through DOZENS 
of TWO YEAR court battles to GAIN eminent domain [it is NOT given by FERC]. 

Four years later [if there is no horrific explosion or fire within the 20 miles of methane that would be released if there was a drop in pressure between the TWO block valve meters on either end of Tygart Valley] the SAME LAND 
would THEN be worth MILLIONS for the county.

NOTE: THIS IS PRIVATE LAND OWNED BY PEOPLE.

!!! - AT LEAST WE NOW KNOW WHAT THE 200' ROW is worth!!!!!!!
Great for the new attorneys coming on board, here are the figures!!!!

BUT....the land owners are NOT fools, the are NOT ignorant, they are very smart.

The residents of Mill Creek and Huttonsville,WV have independenty, individually, and consistently told Dominion and Doyle Land Services

"NO SURVEY PERMIMSSION 

UNTIL I SEE THE MAP 

YOU HAVE OF MY LAND 

AND GET ANSWERS"

Dominion offered one large land owner a FLAT $1000 easement fee to cross three huge parcels for the 14.5 deep trench.

The response was "PER INCH?"

Dominion has met in private with the Randolph County Commission,
announcing at the ELKINS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE on Nov 5th
the creation of this NEW TAX.

President Chris See lives in the vicinity of the methaneline and his constituents, 
the ignored residents of Mill Creek and Huttonsville are VERY VERY interested
in where he stands on this corruption attempt. Time to shine!
