Dump Trucks Columbus OH Insight:
After the verdict, Dominion said that the Supreme Court was in line with "the longstanding precedent” of allowing pipelines, more than 50, to cross the trail. The energy columbus oh dump truck company said that those pipelines have not disturbed the public's use of the trail and neither would the ACP.
"To avoid impacts to the trail," the columbus oh dump truck company said, "the pipeline will be installed hundreds of feet below the surface and emerge more than a half-mile from each side of the trail. There will be no construction activity on or near the trail itself, and the public will be able to continue enjoying the trail as they always have.”
The Supreme Court's verdict is most likely good news to the construction companies involved in the project as well. The lead contractor, Spring Ridge Constructors, is a joint venture between four major pipeline construction companies:
- Michels Corp., based in Brownsville, Wisconsin
- Price Gregory International Inc., based in Houston
- Rockford Corp., based in Dallas
- U.S. Pipeline Inc., based in Houston
The first time that permit troubles forced a shutdown of the project was in 2018, an action that added approximately $500 million to project costs. During that shutdown, ACP columbus oh dump truck company kept welders on the payroll so as not to lose them in such a tight labor market.
Despite this recent court victory, Dominion, in its statement, said that it "looks forward to resolving the remaining project permits," acknowledging that there are other obstacles to overcome in getting the pipeline back on course.
Ironically, according to the Southern Environmental Law Center, the project still lacks a valid special-use, right-of-way permit from the Forest Service to cross the trail, as well as several others including:
- Endangered Species Act permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
- Right-of-way permit from the National Park Service.
- Virginia air pollution permit for a compressor station.
- Four Clean Water Act authorizations from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia and North Carolina.
The center also said that the project's permit from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is currently under review by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals to determine whether the agency was correct in its decision that the pipeline was necessary. The appeals court is scheduled to hear arguments later this year.
