would invest $1.2 billion in
environmental upgrades at our
coal stations in Virginia and
West Virginia. The money—

12-year period.
Our people also worked
with state agencies and
landowners to improve the
habitat for quail and other game
birds along electric transmission
rights-of-way.
If you’re a trout fisherman,
as I am, you might know or
remember the St. Mary’s River,
which runs through the Blue
Ridge Mountains in Virginia.

U.S. But just three years ago, it
was declared all but dead. We
recognized an opportunity and
volunteered to help. Dominion

MEANS MORE THAN MEETING OUR
LEGAL OBLIGATIONS.
Bill Bolin, a Dominion biologist, can now

As part of our environmental commitment
to good projects throughout our service
areas, Dominion played a critical role in
restoring the St. Mary’s River in Virginia to
its natural state.
