The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued a draft environmental impact statement recently for the controversial proposed $3.5 billion Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) for natural gas in Virginia and West Virginia, saying the project would have “limited adverse impact with the exception of impacts on forests.” The project will not be officially approved until FERC issues the final approved version of the impact statement.

The buried 301-mile long, 42-inches wide interstate pipeline, which requires FERC’s approval to proceed, would span from West Virginia through the Virginia counties of Giles, Montgomery, Craig, Roanoke and Franklin en route to terminating at the Williams Gas Transco Pipeline near Chatham, Virginia. The Williams Companies Transco’s headquarters is in Houston.
