Washington, November 10 (RHC)-- A U.S. federal court has temporarily blocked the construction of the Mountain Valley Pipeline pending an ongoing appeal from environmental groups.
The 300-mile pipeline would cross through wetlands and streams in Virginia and West Virginia.
Activists have long argued a permit allowing its construction violates environmental laws and could pose catastrophic threats to vital waterways.
