Whatever method builders of the Mountain Valley Pipeline use to get from one side of a waterbody to another — either a trench dug along the bottom or a tunnel bored below — it won’t be happening anytime soon. The latest delay came Monday, when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said it will extend to Dec. 31 a deadline for state regulators to decide if digging trenches will pose an unacceptable risk to the streams and wetlands of Southwest Virginia. Earlier this year, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality sought a postponement from July 2, which it said would not allow enough time for a water quality certification that requires detailed analysis and public comment.
