Pittsylvania County simultaneously faces pollution risks from two proposed major fossil fuel pipelines: a massive extension of the existing Transco pipelines and an extension of the ruinous Mountain Valley Pipeline.

The Transco expansion, the Southeast Supply Enhancement Project pipeline, would pass through the southern part of the county, including the town of Chatham. The pipeline would be routed through the Banister and Sandy rivers and snake over 20 miles through Pittsylvania County before entering North Carolina, where it would repeatedly cross the Dan River.

MVP's Southgate Extension continues where MVP's mainline reaches its end point in Chatham, after cutting through over 300 miles of mountains, farms and waterways in West Virginia and Virginia. The Southgate developer Equitrans Midstream wants to continue its path of destruction from Virginia into North Carolina.
