Permit is approved for the Mountain Valley Pipeline

The Mountain Valley Pipeline got the green light for construction on national forest land in Virginia and West Virginia this week. The U.S. Forest Service reissued its approval for a permit, despite past federal appeals court rulings determining developers had “inadequately considered” the project’s environmental impact. Monday night’s decision will allow the $6.6 billion Mountain Valley Pipeline to be built — for now — across a 3.5-mile corridor through the Jefferson National Forest.
