FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION
Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC
Docket No. CP 19-14-000

(March 15, 2019)
On November 6, 2018, Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC (Mountain Valley) filed an
application in Docket No. CP19-14-000 requesting a Certificate of Public Convenience
and Necessity pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act to construct, operate, and
maintain certain natural gas pipeline facilities. The proposed project is known as the
MVP Southgate Project (Project) and is intended to diversify the supply and provide
additional capacity of natural gas to the southeast United States by providing North
Carolina and Virginia with access to natural gas supplies from the Marcellus and Utica
gas regions.
On November 19, 2018, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) issued its Notice of Application for the Project. Among other things, that
notice alerted other agencies issuing federal authorizations of the requirement to
complete all necessary reviews and to reach a final decision on the request for a federal
authorization within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's final
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Project. This instant notice identifies the
FERC staff's planned schedule for completion of the final EIS for the Project, which is
based on an issuance of the draft EIS in July 2019.

Background
On May 15, 2018, the Commission staff granted Mountain Valley's request to use
the FERC's pre -filing environmental review process and assigned the Project Docket No.
PF 18-4-000. On August 9, 2018, the Commission issued a Notice of Intent to Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement for the Planned MVP Southgate Project, Request for
Comments on Environmental Issues, and Notice of Public Scoping Sessions (NOI).
The NOI was issued during the pre -filing review of the Project and was sent to
federal, state, and local government agencies; elected officials; affected landowners;
environmental and public interest groups; Native American tribes and regional
organizations; commentors and other interested parties; and local libraries and
newspapers. Major issues raised during scoping include project need, water quality
degradation, environmental impacts, and private property rights and valuation. All
substantive comments will be addressed in the EIS. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are cooperating agencies in the preparation of the
EIS.
