Work stopped on controversial pipeline that would pass under Blue Ridge Parkway
VIRGINIA - Dominion is suspending all Atlantic Coast Pipeline construction along the entire 600-mile route of the $5.5 billion project, according to a notice Dominion filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Friday.
Construction will only continue for safety purposes and to prevent environmental damage, according to a press release from Appalachian Voices, a nonprofit that advocates for a healthy environment in the Appalachian region.
