The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is accepting comments on an amendment request for the Mountain Valley Pipeline Southgate Certificate. Comments are due on Tuesday, March 11, 2025.

While gas is currently flowing through MVP mainline in West Virginia and Virginia, MVP Southgate is now requesting to build 31 miles of 30”-diameter pipeline, transport 550,000 dekatherms of methane gas per day — and cross an additional 103 waterbodies in North Carolina.

Construction through our mountainous terrain with highly erodible soils caused damage to rivers, streams, wetlands, and groundwater, impacting drinking water supplies and aquatic habitats.

Today, we are releasing an MVP Story Map, which highlights the human and environmental toll in the Mountain State. This project includes stories from impacted landowners, family farms, and water quality monitors who diligently watchdogged our streams during construction near their home.

Communities should not have to live in fear of a pipeline explosion due to weak regulations set by regulators. We do not want to see these same issues persist along the route of MVP Southgate.
