Join the October 28th Comment Writing Workshop

Tell the Federal Energy and Regulatory Commission (FERC) to deny Mountain Valley Pipeline’s (MVP) amendment request, docket number CP25-60-000. FERC’s Environmental Assessment fails to measure the serious impacts of MVP Southgate extension to our environment. MVP Southgate would run 31 miles from Chatham, VA into Rockingham County, NC. The comment deadline is November 3rd, 2025.

Step by step FERC Comment Guide

What to include in your comment

• Your concerns about the impacts MVP Southgate would have to the land, water and environment
• Your personal connections to Chatham, VA and Rockingham County, NC 
• A clear statement asking FERC to deny MVP Southgate’s amendment request
• How MVP Southgate would impact your community

Talking points

• The pipeline would negatively impact the Dan River by taking 3.3 million gallons of water for hydrostatic testing. The Dan River would also be at risk to sedimentation pollution from the pipeline construction.
• Trenchless construction methods would be less harmful to the environment and FERC has not taken this into consideration.
• Even though MVP mainline racked up hundreds of water quality violations, FERC has determined that MVP Southgate’s impacts on waterways would not be very significant.
• FERC has said that MVP Southgate may not be needed.
• Instead of properly updating this most recent Environmental Assessment, FERC has relied on an out of date Environmental Assessment for MVP Southgate from five years ago.
