Section of Mountain Valley Pipeline (Image: Jenny Harnish/West Va. Rivers Coalition)
Work crews have reentered the Jefferson National Forest in Virginia to work on stabilizing pipe segments sitting above ground, waiting to be installed, for the Mountain Valley Pipeline project. Work in the Forest went on pause four (!) years ago when deep-pocketed Big Green groups (possibly using money from Russia) sued to block the project. The court has not allowed work to resume. However, wooden cradles (pallets) holding up pieces of pipe are beginning to degrade and crumble. They have to be fixed or replaced. Some pieces of pipe have fallen to the ground.
