Mountain Valley Pipeline attorneys on Monday reiterated their position that a Richmond-based federal appeals court should dismiss pending legal challenges against the natural gas project because that court no longer has jurisdiction.
Mountain Valley Pipeline was responding to ongoing challenges from more than a dozen environmental groups filed in the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The legal issues at hand revolve around a provision in the recently passed Fiscal Responsibility Act — more commonly known as the highly publicized deal to suspend and later raise the national debt ceiling — that ordered federal authorities to approve all remaining necessary permits for the 303-mile, 42-inch-diameter pipeline through Virginia and West Virginia.
Senator Joe Manchin (D-WVA) has been pushing this thing through, he must be steaming right now.
