19. Dominion states it intends to work cooperatively with all affected landowners to address concerns as it acquires the necessary property for the proposed facilities. (11*)

Several landowners, however, allege misstatements and unwarranted incursions by Dominion’s representatives. 

As we observe in our brochure,
 "Blanket Certificate Program: Notice to Landowners" at
 (http://www.ferc.gov/for-citizens/citizen-guides.asp)
which pipeline companies are required to provide to affected landowners
 (see 18 C.F.R. § 157.6(d)(3)(ii) (2011)),
 “state or local trespass laws govern a company’s access to your land.” 

Consequently, allegations of improprieties concerning access to land 
are appropriately addressed to state or local law enforcement authorities, 
rather than the Commission.
