Comments to the Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Environmental Quality on the Proposed Atlantic Coast Pipeline

The Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA) submits the following comments in support of the expeditious review and approval of the Department of Environmental Quality’s 401 Water Quality Certification for the proposed Atlantic Coast Pipeline. IPAA submits that the final Environmental Impact Statement issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission supports issuance of the certification, finding that Atlantic Coast’s “surface water and wetlands impacts would be effectively minimized or mitigated.”
