After temporary halt, Mountain Valley Pipeline construction resumes


Construction is under way at 33 locations in Virginia along the route of the Mountain Valley Pipeline, Kallanish Energy reports.

Work resumed after the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality approved erosion and sediment control measures along the natural gas pipeline’s route in western Virginia.

Work had voluntarily been halted by Mountain Valley Pipeline LLC on June 29 after heavy rains.

Work at two Virginia sites remains suspended until erosion problems are resolved, the state agency reported.

The $3.5 billion pipeline will carry natural gas from the Marcellus and Utica shales from Wetzel County, W. Va., to Pittsylvania County, Va.

Mountain Valley Pipeline is a joint venture of six companies. The pipeline will be operated by EQT Midstream. The pipeline is expected to begin service in late 2018.

Environmentalists in West Virginia and Virginia have actively fought the pipeline project.
