Commission 

[Docket No. CP21–57–000] 

Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC; Notice 

of Schedule for the Preparation of an 

Environmental Assessment for the 

Proposed Amendment to the 

Certificate of Public Convenience and 

Necessity for the Mountain Valley 

Pipeline Project 

On February 19, 2021, Mountain 

Valley Pipeline, LLC (Mountain Valley) 

filed an application in Docket No. 

CP21–057–000 requesting a Certificate 

of Public Convenience and Necessity 

pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural 

Gas Act amending Mountain Valley’s 

certificate of public convenience and 

necessity for the Mountain Valley 

Pipeline Project (Amendment to the 

Certificate of Public Convenience and 

Necessity for the Mountain Valley 

Pipeline Project or Amendment Project) 

to grant Mountain Valley the ability to 

change the crossing method for specific 

wetlands and waterbodies yet to be 

crossed by the project from the open-cut 

crossings to one of several trenchless 

methods. The Amendment Project 

would affect certain natural gas pipeline 

facilities in Wetzel, Lewis, Webster, 

Nicholas, Greenbrier, Summers, and 

Monroe Counties, West Virginia and 

Giles, Montgomery, Roanoke, Franklin, 

and Pittsylvania Counties, Virginia. 

Mountain Valley also proposes two 

minor route adjustments to avoid 

crossing wetlands and waterbodies. 

On March 1, 2021, the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (Commission or 

FERC) issued its Notice of Application 

for the Project. Among other things, that 

notice alerted agencies issuing federal 

authorizations of the requirement to 

complete all necessary reviews and to 

reach a final decision on a request for 

a federal authorization within 90 days of 

the date of issuance of the Commission 

staff’s environmental document for the 

Project. 

This notice identifies Commission 

staff’s intention to prepare an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

Amendment Project and the planned 

schedule for the completion of the 

environmental review.1

Schedule for Environmental Review 

Issuance of EA—August 13, 2021 

90-day Federal Authorization Decision 

Deadline—November 11, 2021

necessary, an additional notice will be

provided so that the relevant agencies 

are kept informed of the Project’s 

progress. 

Project Description 

On October 13, 2017, the FERC issued 

a Certificate of Public Convenience and 

Necessity for the Mountain Valley 

Pipeline Project under Docket CP16– 

010–000. The Mountain Valley Pipeline 

Project consists of approximately 303.5 

miles of new natural gas pipeline and 

multiple aboveground facilities located 

in West Virginia and Virginia. 

The Amendment Project would 

change 120 crossings of 182 waterbodies 

and wetlands from open-cut crossings to 

trenchless crossings (this includes 117 

conventional bore crossings, 1 Direct 

Pipe crossing, and 2 guided 

conventional bore crossings). It also 

includes a minor route adjustment near 

milepost 230.8 to avoid the need to 

cross a waterbody; and a minor 

alignment shift and workspace 

adjustment near milepost 0.7 to avoid 

the need to cross a wetland. 

Background 

On March 16, 2021, the Commission 

issued a Notice of Scoping Period and 

Requesting Comments on 

Environmental Issues for the Proposed 

Amendment to the Certificate of Public 

Convenience and Necessity for the 

Mountain Valley Pipeline Project 

(Notice of Scoping). The Notice of 

Scoping was sent to affected 

landowners; Federal, State, and local 

government agencies; elected officials; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American tribes; other 

interested parties; and local libraries 

and newspapers. In response to the 

Notice of Scoping, the Commission 

received comments from the 

Environmental Protection Agency, the 

Monacan Indian Nation, U.S. Senator 

Tim Kaine, Roanoke County, Franklin 

County Board of Supervisors, the Lewis 

County Commission, multiple nongovernment agencies, and multiple 

individuals and landowners. The 

primary issues, among others, raised by 

the commenters are the need for the 

Amendment Project, requests for 

additional environmental reviews, and 

concerns with permits, the geology in 

the Project area, groundwater and 

drinking water, environmental 

compliance, environmental justice and 

outreach, greenhouse gas and climate 

change, safety and feasibility, and 

cultural resources. All substantive 

comments will be addressed in the EA. 

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is 

a cooperating agency in the preparation 

of the EA.

issuance of the EA and to keep track of
