Dominion Energy has stopped work on 100 miles of the 600-mile Atlantic Coast natural gas pipeline following a court decision vacating a permit related to threatened and endangered species, while an effort continues to force a work stoppage on the entire project.
Dominion will stop work on the affected area until the permit is revised, Jen Kostyniuk, a spokeswoman for the Richmond, Va.-based company, said May 22. Kostyniuk says there is extensive information available to resolve the questions over the permit quickly. The pipeline remains on schedule to be finished late next year, according to Dominion.
