WISE ANNOUNCES NEW PLAN FOR PIPELINE PROJECT; HAWKS NEST VIEW PRESERVED
Posted by: Allen Canfield on Thu, 23 May 2002 01:24:26 (1230 Reads)
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Gov. Bob Wise today announced that a proposed Greenbrier Pipeline project by Dominion Resources in Fayette County has been amended with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission so the natural gas pipeline will not be visible from Hawks Nest State Park.
“I am pleased that this project will proceed without the potential of disturbing one of our state’s most spectacular scenic areas,” Wise said. “Providing new infrastructure to deliver West Virginia’s energy resources to the national market is vital to the future of our economy. I want to thank Dominion Resources for working on an alternative that proves we can support these efforts while protecting our environment.”Wise sent a letter to Dominion in February requesting that the company reroute the proposed pipeline to “avoid encroachment on the scenic views from the historic park.”
“The views afforded from Hawks Nest State Park are among the park’s most treasured assets,” Wise said. “A pipeline route through the viewshed would diminish the park substantially.”
The proposed pipeline will provide access to West Virginia's natural gas produced in West Virginia for markets in the eastern United States.
