BOONE, North Carolina, Aug. 28 -- Appalachian Voices issued the following news release:
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission today requested that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service re-initiate consultation on its Endangered Species Act permit for the fracked-gas Mountain Valley Pipeline. Because the project does not have a valid Biological Opinion and Incidental Take Statement from the wildlife agency, all work on the pipeline should halt until a new one is issued.
