Mountain Valley gets green light from FERC on major segment of pipeline
Friday, January 15, 2021
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission rendered a 2-1 majority vote last month to allow construction along a 17-mile portion at the northern end of the Mountain Valley Pipeline, according to the Chatham Star Tribune.
The FERC issued a stop-work order in 2018 that halted construction within a 25-mile work zone in between two Jefferson National Forest watersheds, citing environmental protection as its reasoning.
The recent vote allows construction along a portion of the previously denoted exclusion from mile 201.6 to mile 218.6 of the pipeline. The FERC concluded that construction along this segment would not release any pollutants into the adjacent watersheds.
