February 1, 2018 To: Ms. Kelly Hammerle National OCS Oil and Gas Leasing Program Manager Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (VAM-LD) 45600 Woodland Road Sterling, VA 20166-9216 Re:Offshore Drilling / Oppose The League of Women Voters has been at the forefront of national efforts to protect air, land and water resources. The League's position is to "Preserve the physical, chemical and biological integrity of the ecosystem, with maximum protection of public health and the environment" with a focus on demanding pollution prevention. Specific to this position, the League of Women Voters United States (LWVUS) jointly with League of Women Voters of Oregon (LWVOR) filed in Sept 2016 an Amicus Brief in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon in the Case of Julianna et al v. United States. LWVOR signed in March 2016, with 22 other groups and elected officials, an Amicus Brief in the State of Oregon Lawsuit. These lawsuits require that the state and federal government implement a climate recovery plan. Just recently the League joined with 132 organizations to state our opposition to the Trump Administration plan for expansion of Offshore Drilling - which brings unacceptable risks to our oceans, marine life, coastal residents and communities, existing economies, and our climate. Additionally, the LWVOR opposes oil and gas exploration and development within the state's territorial sea and requests the state to oppose any federal lease sales within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone off the Oregon coast. For more than 30 years in Oregon and Washington, bipartisan elected officials have protected the coast from federal drilling. A Cascade Subduction Zone earthquake, a dangerous fault system capable of producing a magnitude 9 or greater temblor that many expect, has the potential to cause unprecedented problems with oil rigs and bring pollutants to our beloved shores. The ecological integrity, renewable natural resources, and beneficial uses of Oregon's ocean water must be protected. Through painstaking, multi-year public review processes that documented a groundswell of bipartisan support for a new clean energy direction, our country has been making changes to reduce the footprint and risks of offshore drilling. This represents a foundation that should be built upon, not rejected at the behest of a handful of private oil companies. We urge you to respect the livelihood of the millions who depend on healthy oceans for fishing, recreation, and tourism dollars, and the millions of Americans who have already made clear their support for preserving, not drilling off our nation's coastlines.

Jun 29, 2018· Comment from Elizabeth Adams, League of Women Voters· BOEM-2017-0074-22214

In my earliest childhood memory, I am riding on my dad's shoulders in the Atlantic surf. Oh, the sheer joy of it! My father was Navy and our family traveled from one base to the next, and all had the advantage of ocean proximity, from the Eastern seaboard, to the Florida Keys, to California, to the Philippine Islands and back to the East coast for his last duty station at the Pentagon. There, we settled for sailing the Chesapeake Bay. My father is deceased, along with most WWII vets. I watch i horror as his beloved seas are threatened by the prospect of offshore drilling. The "recreational" value is seemingly negligible compared to the riches supposed to exist under the ocean. But, South Carolina's major industry is tourism. The loss of revenue, the end of livelihoods, would sure follow damage to the precious treasure which is our clean, living, free-breaking ocean waves. Please halt all plans to destroy the heritage my dad loved so well.

Please do not allow offshore drilling which has the potential to damage the ecological environment and subsequently impact quality of life. Be mindful of the past and preserve for posterity what people of today hold dear. Ann Russell

Having lived in coastal North Carolina since 199622 years on Bogue Banks and more recently near Wrightsville Beach, my husband, Peter, and I have come to realize how fragile and precious our coastline is. We do not believe there is any "safe" way to drill for oil or gas on our outer continental shelf. The risks are too great. No short-term economic value can eclipse the long-term economic and ecological damage such drilling would cause.

Jun 28, 2018· Comment from Pat Shama, League of Women Voters of Horry County· BOEM-2017-0074-15191

As a resident, home owner, and concerned voter with an eye on future property values and the viable, healthful community of Myrtle Beach, I strongly oppose seismic testing and drilling off the Atlantic coast. Once this area is leased for this purpose, there is no getting it back. Oil leaks or spills are inevitable, and cannot be cleaned up and a local economy restored. This risk is not worth selling more oil products to other countries--we know that the US does not need more oil or gas. The beaches and ecosystem of the Atlantic Coast must be preserved, especially since other US coastlines have already been sacrificed. Every local government up and down this coast has emphatically stated opposition to testing and drilling for environmental, economic and aesthetic reasons. I am proud of them for their stance, as well as SC Gov McMaster. The Atlantic must be exempt from this purely commercial purpose that has no benefit, and only detriment to its residents and ocean wildlife. This activity would not even bring skilled labor jobs to the coast, as these workers would be imported from other areas of the US. Do not sacrifice the existing and future viability of the fishing and tourism industries to sustain the shrinking oil business. Wind and solar energy sources should be developed here. They are much more compatible with the environment, wildlife and our fishing and tourism industries. This is the future of the Atlantic Coast, not oil. Please protect my investment and my way of life. Do not open the way for seismic testing and oil and gas drilling off the Atlantic Coast.

May 28, 2018· Comment from Jennifer Rubin, League of Women Voters of North Carolina· BOEM-2017-0074-11021

The League of Women Voters of North Carolina stands with North Carolina's coastal communities, Governor Roy Cooper, hundreds of businesses, and a bipartisan group of North Carolina's Congressional delegation opposing any measures to pursue offshore drilling for oil and gas in the Atlantic Ocean. Drilling for oil and gas off North Carolina's coast presents significant risk of spills, fire and damage by weather, with few rewards. Our state's thriving coastal tourism, recreation, and fishing industries are dependent upon a healthy environment and natural resources. It is particularly unacceptable to expand offshore drilling at a time when federal safety regulations that were enacted in 2010 following the Deepwater Horizon disaster are being rolled back. A 2017 poll by Public Policy Polling found that 77 percent of North Carolinians are concerned that an oil spill would harm the state's robust tourist economy, and 64 percent claim that they or a loved one would be personally financially harmed by an oil spill. One in five residents says that their livelihood depends on the ocean or beach-tourism industry. In addition to jeopardizing our coastal economy for offshore oil, expanding drilling extends the country's dependence on fossil fuels, locks us into decades of carbon pollution and intensifies climate change. In comparison, sustainable sources of energy are cleaner and preferable to offshore oil. As a nonpartisan organization, the League of Women Voters advocates for policies in the public interest. We promote the protection and wise management of natural resources and we strongly oppose offshore drilling along the Atlantic coast.

On behalf of the League of Women Voters of Glen Ellyn, Illinois, we oppose the proposed 2019-2024 National Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Program MAA104000. We concur with the Position on Off Shore Drilling dated August 2017, as prepared by the League of Women Voters of the Lower Cape Fear (North Carolina). See attached file(s)

The League of Women Voters of Washington strongly opposes the Administrations's proposal to lease areas off Washington state's coast for oil and gas drilling. We join our Governor, Senators and Representatives in condemning this plan which could have a devastating impact to tourism, shellfish farming, and sport and commercial fishing along our coast. Severe winter storms with elevated storm surges and flooding in our state , increase the risks for drilling, oil spill response and recovery. Secretary of Interior Zinke has said that revenues are needed to fund the backlog of maintenance needed at our National Parks and Wildlife Refuges. However, Washington State's coastline contains extensive areas of those protected federal lands. Most significantly, is the Olympic National Marine Sanctuary, established in 1994, covers 3,189 square miles of the Pacific Ocean in the northwest corner od our state. Oil and gas exploration and drilling are prohibites in this and in all fourteen of our National Marine Sanctuaries. These sanctuaries were established for their special conservation, recreational, ecological, historical, cultural, archeological, scientific, educational, or esthetic qualities. The Olympia National Park includes 71 miles of coastal beaches which would be adversely impacted. There are also five national wildlife refuges in the waters or along the coast and bay. These include the Quillayute Needles, Copalis, Grey's Harbor and Willapa Bay National Wildlife Refuges. They contain very significant areas for nesting and foraging seabirds, shorebirds, marine mammals and endangered species. BOEM's proposal puts these areas at risk in the case of an oil spill, which would have huge clean up costs due to the many rock islands, sandy beaches and rocky shores of the area. In addition, such clean ups would include controlled burns which emit black carbon. These emissions cause human respiratory disease, acording to a recent NOAA study. Also, there are four treaty tribes, the Makah, Hoh, Quileute and Quinault, with reservations along the coast that would be massively impacted by an oil spill in the area. They have treaty reserved ights to harvest the fish and shellfish in their traditional grounds and are dependent on these resources for their economic, subsistence and cultural survival. In conclusion, we strongly oppose this proposal that would devastate Washington State's marine waters and coastline. We urge you to listen to the public voices and withdraw this proposal. Thanks you for considering our comments..

League of Women Voters of the Lower Cape Fear Written Testimony for BOEM on Off Shore Drilling February 2, 2018 The League of Women Voters of the Lower Cape Fear (LWVLCF) joins more than 31 North Carolina (NC) coastal municipalities and Governor Roy Cooper in opposing the proposed 2019-2024 National Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Program. We believe that the risks outweigh the benefits to the Lower Cape Fear and the US. The estimated small quantity of oil and gas does not justify the threat to the coastal waters and shoreline, which supports a highly diverse animal and plant life necessary to thriving tourism and fishery industries. Energy Source: By time the small amount of oil (1) off the Atlantic Coast comes on line, the mix of energy sources will be different. Technology will make other more sustainable sources more efficient, cleaner and desirable than off shore oil. Expanding drilling into the OCS will only exacerbate climate change by locking in decades of carbon pollution. Pollution: The following special environmental concerns have not been addressed: a) Hurricanes and huge storms off the NC coast present in the past are becoming more frequent. b) The strong gulf stream moves pollution to shores, salt marches and beaches, which are difficult to clean and critical to the fishery and NC tourism industries. c) The Point (off Kitty Hawk) has been designated one of the most bio diverse zones in the world. d) Endangered whales and sea turtles are dependent on the ecosystem off of the NC coast. (2,3,4) Economy: The economic risks lie in threats to the Tourism and Fishery Industries. These flourishing industries composed primarily of small, local businesses are dependent completely on a viable, thriving beach and ocean habitat. Oil spills could easily destroy them. For example, in just New Hanover, Brunswick and Pender Counties, NC, tourism accounted for $1120.94 million in expenditures, $234.98 million in payroll, $28.45 million in State tax receipts, $57.15 million in local tax receipts and employed 11,990 people directly. Three of the top tourism counties in NC (Dare, New Hanover and Brunswick) are coastal with total revenues of over $2 billion. Fisheries were a $2.3 billion industry in 2013 and employed 43,385 people. (5, 6) Persons employed in tourism and fisheries likely would not be reemployed in the oil industry. Job creation, as demonstrated in other mineral extraction areas like the Marcellus Shale, would occur primarily for outside people. The growth in the US and NC economy can occur with less risk to our coastal communities, our oceans and our planet. 1) Special environmental issues protecting OCS and coastal biota have not been resolved to either eliminate or mitigate the polluting effects of off shore drilling. 2) Economic benefits of OCS drilling have been exaggerated using high oil prices. 3) The loss of fisheries and tourism threatens the economic and social underpinnings of our coastal communities. The US and NC economy will be better stimulated by a long term strategy to reduce dependence on carbon based fuels to slow global warming. For the amount of available gas, the payoff seems extraordinarily risky. The loss of a clean, productive, bio diverse ocean and coastline is not worth the available oil and gas.

I have lived in North Carolina all my life. The coast of North Carolina is a unique environment. The beaches are among the best in the world, and people come from all over the world to vacation on the NC shore. Tourism is the basis of the coastal economy. Fishing is also important, but already environmental hazards are making it very difficult for our NC fishermen to make a profit. Offshore drilling for the benefit of the oil industry would endanger the tourist industry and fisheries that are the backbone of our culture. The last thing we need in North Carolina is offshore drilling. Don't do it.
