Richmond Gas-Fired Plant Reaches Out to Landowners re 83-Mile Pipe
MDN first told you about plans to build the Chickahominy Power Station, a 1,650 megawatt state-of-the-art natural gas-fired power plant in Charles City County, VA, in June 2018 (see Huge New Marcellus-Fired Power Plant Coming Near Richmond, VA). Although the application for the project said an existing 16-inch gas pipeline owned by Virginia Natural Gas crosses through the site (implying the project would use that line to feed the plant), earlier this year a subsidiary of the same company formed to explore building a 24-inch gas pipeline that would traverse five counties in the region to connect to an interstate pipeline that would feed Marcellus/Utica gas to the plant (see Richmond Gas-Fired Plant Explores Building Pipeline Thru 5 Counties). Public outreach to landowners has begun for building the 83-mile pipeline to feed the plant.

Once again Democrat politics rear their ugly head to pressure the Virginia Air Pollution Control Board, which voted last Friday to reject issuing an air permit for a compressor station in southern Virginia for the proposed Mountain Valley Pipeline Southgate extension that will run 75 miles from Virginia into North Carolina. The permit would have allowed a compressor station to be built in the Virginia town of Chatham (Pittsylvania County). And according to critics of the pipeline, that’s just plain racist.
In August, Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP, owned by Equitrans Midstream) filed a subpoena in federal court to find out who recklessly promoted a meeting of a group of anti-pipeline zealots, encouraging them to gather close to (50 feet from) explosives being used to blast through rock to install MVP, putting themselves and workers in harm’s way and causing delays to pipeline construction (see 
Another MVP (Mountain Valley Pipeline) story in the news today. In August 2018 MDN told you about a group of six Franklin County, VA landowners who sued to block the construction of MVP across their property (see 
In July the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved a plan by Dominion Energy to clean up and “undo” the work done for the company’s previous Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP) project (see 
The Democrat mainstream media was striking out by using the trite phrase of “blast zone” to try and scare people who happen to live near the path of a simple, safe natural gas pipeline, like that proposed in Hanover County, Virginia. As the lefty libs so often do, they’ve changed their language in an effort to change how people perceive such a project. It’s no longer a blast zone, now (drum roll please)…it’s an INCINERATION zone! Yeah baby! You’ll be fried to a crisp if you live near a pipeline and that pipeline experiences a leak and explodes. So pathetic.
In August the Virginia Dept. of Environmental Quality (DEQ) issued a draft Section 401 of the federal Clean Water Act permit that would approve plans to let the 303-mile Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) finish its work in the state (see 
For years landowners who have been organized and hoodwinked by Big Green groups have attacked the 303-mile Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) project on its legally and federally delegated right to use eminent domain to condemn property for landowners who have refused to negotiate in good faith. One such case remains, holding on…just barely.
