Dan River

Threat: Two Major Gas PipeLines

Take Action

The Dan River Flows Through:

North Carolina Virginia

The Dan River is a life source for hundreds of thousands of people and a sacred cultural corridor for Indigenous communities. Any project that risks contaminating these waters or disturbing ancestral sites must be held to the highest legal and ethical standards.

Threat: Two Major Gas PipeLines

The Dan River supplies clean drinking water to roughly one million people and is a vital lifeline for an abundance of wildlife. But the construction of two major gas pipelines threatens drinking water sources and wildlife habitat. The governors of Virginia and North Carolina must ensure that pipeline construction meets all clean water safeguards to ensure the health of the rivers and its communities.
