Demand DEQ hold MVP accountable for threatening endangered species
Director David Paylor and the Department of Environmental Quality
In December the Attorney General's consent decree required the Mountain Valley Pipeline to have an environmental auditor to protect Virginia's waterways. MVP hired Tetra Tech which has already failed three times on the MVP Project by creating an inaccurate storm-water drainage analysis, an incorrect visual impact statement and an inadequate historical impact statement. Due to the inaccurate storm-water drainage analysis pollution from the MVP corridor continues to pollute the streams which are the habitat for the Roanoke logperch.
The DEQ must fulfill the department’s responsibility by:
Issuing a stop work instruction on all land disturbing activity caused by heavy machinery.
Require MVP to terminate Tetra Tech and hire an independent environmental auditor.
Instruct MVP to commission a new, accurate storm-water drainage analysis and use it to create new engineering and ESCs to be approved by the State Water Control Board before MVP will be allowed to do any land disturbing activities that could further harm Virginia’s waterways.
