Help determine the Corridor H route with the least environmental impacts

Join WV Rivers Coalition in contacting the Federal Highway Administration about selecting the Corridor H route with the fewest negative environmental impacts.

Here are several critical factors officials must carefully consider in their assessments:

• Avoid impacts to public lands in the Monongahela National Forest 
• Reduce impacts on sensitive, high-quality trout streams
• Minimize impacts on endangered species such as the Virginia Big-Eared Bat and the Cheat Mountain Salamander
• Preserve scenic vistas like Lindy Point in Blackwater Falls State Park; and protect other public lands and waterfalls
• Maintain public access to historic and cultural sites
• Avoid adverse effects on the North Fork of the Blackwater River and eligibility of the Blackwater River as a National Wild & Scenic River
• Learn from previous violations during the construction of other sections of Corridor H to avoid additional environmental impacts
• Avoid abandoned mine lands
• Consider impacts on the quality of life in Davis and Thomas

Take Action Now:

Add your voice to messages to highway officials asking for a full and comprehensive study of the environmental impacts of both routes for the Parsons to Davis section of Corridor H.
