Mountain Valley Pipeline secures West Virginia permit
Monday, June 19, 2023
The Mountain Valley Pipeline has moved one step closer to resuming construction since West Virginia regulators issued a new water permit, according to Reuters.
The partnership building the pipeline told the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit on Monday that West Virginia issued a renewed Section 401 water quality certification for the project on June 8.
The Fourth Circuit has vacated several of the project’s federal and state permits — some more than once — and it is still hearing lawsuits by environmental and local groups opposed to the project.
