In the latest in a string of decisions that have struck down key approvals for the Mountain Valley and Atlantic Coast pipelines, the Richmond-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit has thrown out Atlantic’s permit to cross the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Fish and Wildlife Service for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline and a little more than a week after it vacated a permit allowing the Mountain Valley Pipeline to cross U.S. Forest Service land.
A spokesman for the Dominion Energy-led Atlantic Coast Pipeline did not respond to a request for comment Monday.
The longer Atlantic Coast Pipeline is planned to run 600 miles from West Virginia into North Carolina and will carve through the center of Virginia.
The meeting will come after widely shared photos of Mountain Valley Pipeline’s failures to control sediment, which have fouled nearby waterways.
