NC Locals Seek Air Monitoring for Dominion LNG Storage Facility

Dominion Energy wants to build a liquified natural gas (LNG) storage facility in Person County, North Carolina, to enhance natural gas service reliability for residential and business customers in the growing region (see NC Residents Freak Out Over Proposed Dominion LNG Storage Tank). Dominion studied several potential sites and collected a boatload of data during the site selection process. Ultimately, Dominion selected a 504-acre site in the southeast corner of Person County, and they plunked down $12 million to buy it (see Dominion Buys Land for LNG Storage Facility in Person County, NC). Dominion calls the project the Moriah Energy Center. Anti-fossil fuel organizations have whipped up locals living in that area, telling them the chemicals that will be emitted from the facility will cause cancer (see Amped Up Locals Claim LNG Storage in NC Will Cause Cancer). Question: Would fenceline monitoring help assuage residents' concerns?
