It’s time to Intervene – Take Action
Now that Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC has filed the Certificate Application, individuals and groups can file with FERC as intervenors. Please consider becoming an Intervenor on the Mountain Valley Pipeline, Docket #CP16-10-000. The deadline is Friday, November 27, 2015 at 5:00 PM.
Follow this step-by-step guide: How to Sign Up to be an Intervenor
Register via the FERC website: http://www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/how-to/intervene.asp
We strongly recommend everyone complete FERC registration on-line as soon as possible. You may sign up now, and decide to file nothing further. At a minimum, this process allows you and your family to keep informed of other filings in MVP’s application.
While groups such as Preserve Roanoke, Appalachian Mountain Advocates (APPALMAD), and Roanoke County administration have expressed intent to register for Intervenor status, they will not state each landowner’s specific interests to the FERC. Individual landowners need to use the process available to preserve their interests. HOWEVER, ANYONE WITH CONCERNS ABOUT THE MVP MAY INTERVENE-LOCAL RESIDENCY IS NOT REQUIRED.
As an Intervenor, you will receive MVP’s filings and all other public Commission documents related to the case and materials filed by other intervening parties. Only intervenors will be permitted to participate in later MVP-related hearings. The deadline for on-line registration is 5:00 PM FRIDAY NOVEMBER 27, 2015. (This is the day after Thanksgiving and we’re expecting a high volume of on-line users. Please take early action.)
Local volunteers are available to guide you through the online registration process. Join us!!
