Regulators tied up over Mountain Valley Pipeline stream crossings
Mountain Valley Pipeline
The Mountain Valley Pipeline is tied up after regulators came to a standstill during a meeting earlier this week.
During a meeting on Tuesday, the Federal Energy Regulatory Committee came to a tie in a 2-2 vote over Mountain Valley Pipeline’s request to go under streams and wetlands along the project’s path in West Virginia.
Below is a statement from Natalie Cox, a spokeswoman for the project:
“On Tuesday, January 19, 2021, MVP had three individual requests pending before the FERC and available for vote by the commissioners, with a majority vote of the participating commissioners being needed to approve or deny any requests put forth. The Tuesday vote for each of MVP’s requests concluded in a tie, which means that the three items for the MVP project remain available for additional action by the FERC in the future. MVP continues to target its late 2021 in-service date.”
