4th Circuit Judges Hand Rare Permit Victory to Mountain Valley Pipe

It’s a miracle, A true blue spectacle, A miracle come true… (Lyrics from Barry Manilow’s tune, It’s a Miracle) In a 3-2 vote taken in December 2021, the Virginia State Water Control Board granted a permit (under the Clean Water Act) for Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) to cross about 150 streams and wetlands in Southwest Virginia (see Victory! Virginia Water Control Board Votes to Approve MVP Permit). Naturally, the foreign-backed Sierra Club and its Big Green cronies sued in federal court, claiming the permit somehow violates the Clean Water Act (see Enviro Radicals Ask 4th Circus Clowns to Toss MVP Va. Water Permit). A three-judge panel of the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals (all Democrats) handed down a decision yesterday…upholding the Va. Water Board’s decision to grant the permit. It’s a miracle!
