Please use the link below to submit your comments to the WV Department of Highways supporting an alternative northern route for Corridor H between Parsons and Davis.  Be sure to state your objections of their “preferred” Blackwater Canyon Route by December 12, 2022, and disregard references to a Sept. 12 workshop.  Go to the Comment Form Here.

You might find the top five list of concerns below helpful. The Friends of the Blackwater organization suggests using one or more of these in your comments:

1.  Don’t divide the sister towns of Thomas & Davis and undermine their unique economy.
2.  Don’t degrade the Blackwater Industrial Complex and its historical resources.
3.  Don’t degrade the viewshed from Blackwater Falls State Park.
4.  Construction and blasting will increase Acid Mine Drainage which kills off aquatic life.
5.  Don’t undermine the unique ecology of the Blackwater Canyon, especially its rare and endangered species.

Thank you for your comments and support of a better route for Corridor H.  For more information, write to info@saveblackwater.org or call 304-345-7663.
