Opposition grows over Greenbrier natural gas pipeline impacts
The 279 mile pipeline from Kanawha County to North Carolina would cross about 510 streams with 116 access crossings and may harm river ecosystems and sedimentation. West Virginia Elk and New River basins face water quality effects, with concern from Bluestone and New River Gorge officials. Dominion Greenbrier and Piedmont Greenbrier own the project, FERC approved it, and an independent study on crossings is underway in Floyd County Virginia.
