Morgan Griffith statement on notification of stop work order for Mountain Valley Pipeline

Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-VA) issued the following statement after the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission sent a notification of stop work order to Mountain Valley Pipeline.

“After the ruling by a Federal appeals court vacating permits to construct the Mountain Valley Pipeline through the Jefferson National Forest, FERC’s decision to stop work on MVP is appropriate. If the pipeline cannot be constructed through the forest, it does not make sense to proceed with disturbing other people’s lands that may never connect to a pipeline.”
