Postal Inspection Service Criminal Investigations Service Center Attn: Mail fraud 433 W. Harrison St. Rm 3255 Chicago, IL 60699-5255 Re: NEXUS Gas Transmission Project, FERC Docket No. marina Subject: Investigation regarding pubiic comment letters submitted by the Consumer Energy Alliance Dear Secretary Bose: 31?) This document is being submitted by the Coalition to Reroute NEXU (CORN) in support of the request by Attorney Terry Lodge of Toledo, Ohio for investigation regarding falsi?ed public comment letters - with Rem :1 tr Nexus admittedly filed by the Consumer Energy Alliance}. Mr. Lodge submitted a request on August 31, 201.6 to conduct an investigation regarding ?falselyddentified public comment letters? onto the docket. The request was supported by an affidavit of Paul Wohlfarth from Ottawa Lake, Michigan who noted over 200 letters being submitted to FERC which appeared suspect because none of the letters were signed. in Mr. Wohlfarth?s declaration he notes having contacted fourteen people, all of whom denied knowledge of the letter or having given permission to send a letter on their behalf. Mr. Lodge also filed a Notice of Protest for various clients. Mr. Lodge poignantly illustrates responsibility to consider all comments filed on the FERC docket pursuant to 40 CPR 1503.4, and that ?whoever . . . willfully (falsified, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a material fact; (2) makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation; or (3) makes or uses any false writing or document knowing the same to contain any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry, shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years . . l8 USE. lUOlta). Although FIE-RC. may not consider this matter a serious matter because little weight would be git-ten to comments submitted on the FERC docket accurately re?ects public sentiment and which comments are relevant. As Mr. Lodge argued and concur: ?This is an extremely serious matter. . . Submission of hundreds ofbogus comment letters during the comment period is calculated to convey the false impression that there is widespread public support for construction and operation of the pipeline and its infrastructure." Perhaps one false and misleading letter could be ignored; however, CEA has acknowledged to orchestrating several hunched false and misleading submissions to the l'i?iz'iRC docket. Whether this behavior is the work of a proponent of the pipeline 0 an opponent, must take appropriate steps to police its docket and ensure that the record is based on authentic submissions expressing truthful statements from real persons. Otherwise chaos will ensue. ignoring this situation will simply encourage more robotic filings using computer software and randomly generated fictitious filers. CEA claims that it is the ?leading consumer advocate for affordable reliable energy, activated its grassroots network to demonstrate the widespread support for the Project among the residents of Ohio before the Commission." lt alleges that it conducted ?automated telephone surveys? directed to the individual listed in phone company records. They contend that ?the individual who participates in the survey is asked a series of questions? which are answered by pressing buttons on the telephone. They acknowledge that no live person verifies any They claim that they asked for permission to forward comments in support ofNexus based upon the ?express question? whether the person talking on the telephone agreed to submit comments in support of Nexus. CEA, however, admittedly submitted alleged false and misleading letters to FERC in an attempt to sway FERC in its decision making process in violation of federal criminal laws. CEA admits that their telephone surveys are automated, not veri?ed, and there is no indication that the person taking the phone survey is the same person listed as the owner of the telephone. in fact, in one case, we know that one person who allegedly submitted NEXUS Gas Transmission, LLC, Docket submission dated September 2, 2016 by Edward Greenberg, Counsel for Consumer Energy Alliance. ?it. .1, "2 Remote News comments is deceased. CEA admits that they flooded the FERC docket with unsubstantiated letters "from 347 individuals. The Coalition to Reroute Nexus conducted its own independent investigation by contacting some of the names on the letters submitted in Medina and Summit Counties. Over a dozen affidavits were received back from persons whose name was used by CEA to submit letters for support of Nexus. The attached affidavits are filed in support that CEA engaged in a fraudulent and criminal enterprise to ?ood the FERC docket with letters of support when in fact the support was non?existent. The evidence is clear that CEA committed alleged criminal offenses on the FERC docket in order to "fraudulently support the Nexus Project. CEA suggests that these crimes are ?inadvertent errors" blaming ?in some instances the respondent may not fully understand the presented question, unintentionally answer it in the wrong way and later change his or her mind." CEA suggests that the discrepancies ?described by Neighbors [do not] invalidate the majority of the survey?s results, and specifically do not support the wildly overblown allegation of forgery, fraud or false statements.? However, when the affidavits received from a small sample taken by CORN in two Counties through an actual veri?cation process reveals that the fraud conducted by CEA was pervasive and not accidental. Combined with the investigation conducted by Neighbors in Toledo, Ohio, the af?davits reveal that several dozen of the alleged supporters never gave permission, do not or did not ever support Nexus, and that some people are deceased. Most people seem elderly and live nowhere near the Nexus project. This sampling represents that almost ten percent of the total number of letters submitted by CEA never gave. permission to send any letter in support of Nexus. Nexus also filed comments on the FBRC docket disavowing any knowledge or participation in these activities by CEA. However, listed on the CEA website, as an industry member of the Consumer Energy Alliance, is Spectra Energy. Spectra Energy is one of two member partners listed as an owner of Nexus. It is difficult to believe that Spectra Energy had no knowledge of a campaign dedicated to garner support for its Nexus Project. The CEA activities would require funding. 1 would urge the postal inspectors immediately subpoena the emails between CEA and Spectra Energy to determine to what extent Spectra Energy was involved in the alleged criminal acts Lastly, CEA attorneys argued: supports energy projects that help reduce costs for households and small businesses and create economic opportunity. What is clear and beyond dispute regarding the Nexus project is that without Nexus energy prices for families and small business will increase due to lack of infrastructure and supply.? However, nothing contained in the record supports that the Nexus project will reduce energy costs or that more infrastructure and supply is needed. To the contrary, the evidence supports that the Nexus Project is redundant, that extra carry charges will be added in Ohio, that rates are fixed and that in the case of DTE and the Dawn Hub, rate payers will be subsidizing infrastructure with higher rates in order for Spectra Energy and its subsidiaries to build unneeded additional pipeline infrastructure. Nexus will not help America energy independent nor will it lower energy costs. It will not yield higher tax revenue nor create long lasting jobs in America. It is not providing local energy infrastructure nor will it spur economic development. It will not create a stronger regional economy and will not be good for our environment. Coalition to Remote Nexus In conclusion, CORN supports the Objection ?led by Mr. Lodge and requests that an investigation be conducted, that items be stricken from the docket, an that appropriate criminal referrals be made.
