West Virginians Divided Over Gas Pipeline Despite Manchin's Support [1]
"GREENVILLE, W.Va. — The Mountain Valley Pipeline exists as a 303-mile-long chain with hundreds of missing links. Without all of its federal permits, the natural gas project cannot cross Jefferson National Forest or many of the streams and wetlands in its proposed path from West Virginia to North Carolina.
That includes one segment at the bottom of Maury Johnson's family farmland in mountainous Monroe County, W.Va.
"It's built from there over to the next hollow, and they can't cross that stream," Johnson says, pointing about halfway down the ridge, near a small patch where he grows corn, pumpkins and zinnias."
