Environmentalists ask court to stop Mountain Valley work pending suit on stream crossings

摘要

Environmental groups asked a federal appeals court to keep the EQT Corp.-led developers of the Mountain Valley pipeline project from doing work that could disturb West Virginia streams during construction of the 2-Bcf/d natural gas transportation project. Appalachian Mountain Advocates, on behalf of the Sierra Club and other groups, asked the 4th US Circuit of Appeals for a stay of certain construction activities until a decision is reached on the coalition’s appeal of the US Army Corps of Engineers’ water crossing permit for Mountain Valley.
