From the WV Rivers Coalition, September 6, 2018

The Nationwide 12 permit regulates pipeline construction activities in streams and wetlands. WV Rivers and our partners called into question the validity of this permit for the Mountain Valley Pipeline and the Atlantic Coast Pipeline when we discovered that it was not in compliance with the permit requirements.

Now, rather than requiring massive pipeline projects to meet the stream and wetland crossing requirements in the Nationwide 12, WVDEP is proposing to change the permit conditions. The proposed modifications are now out for public comment through September 17.
