The Mountain Valley Pipeline has had more issues with erosion control.
The 303-mile gas pipeline began operating in June. The West Virginia Department of Environmental protection has issued two notices of violation to the company, one in August and another in November.
In August, a state inspector found that stormwater had washed sediment deposits into a creek in Webster County. In November in Monroe County, a landowner reported the erosion of a slope.
Erosion control has been an issue on the project since it began construction in 2018. The pipeline’s final cost is close to $10 billion, more than twice the original estimate.
Shawn Day, a spokesman for MVP, said the problems were addressed promptly and no civil penalties were issued. He said erosion is a common issue with large-scale infrastructure development.
Last month, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality fined MVP $17,500 over erosion and sediment control.
Virginia fined MVP another $30,500 for two releases of water during pressure testing in May and June before the pipeline entered service.
