Forest Service Caves to Radicals, Extends Comment Period for MVP

On Dec. 22, the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) published a Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement that allows the nearly-completed Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) to finish up construction through 3.5 miles of Jefferson National Forest straddling West Virginia and Virginia (see US Forest Service Floats New Plan to Allow MVP Thur Natl Forest). This is the THIRD time the Forest Service has issued the same permit. Two previous attempts were overturned by three clown judges from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. The public had until Feb. 6th (yesterday) to file official comments on this latest plan. That is, until the bleating radicals moaned and groaned, asking for more time. So USFS extended the comment period another two weeks, until Feb. 21st.
