Mountain Valley Pipeline Construction
A federal appeals court granted a motion to dismiss a challenge to construction permits
for a controversial natural gas pipeline in Virginia and West Virginia after Congress
mandated that the project move forward. The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in
Richmond, Virginia, sided with lawyers from Mountain Valley Pipeline in dismissing
challenges to the project by environmental groups over concerns about the pipeline's
impact on endangered species, erosion and stream sedimentation.

Biden Administration Allocates
$200 Million In Federal Infrastructure
Grants to Upgrade Water Tunnels
The Biden administration announced nearly $200 million in
federal infrastructure grants to upgrade tunnels that carry
streams beneath roads but can be deadly to fish that get stuck
trying to pass through. Many of these narrow passages known as culverts, often made from
metal or concrete, were built in the 1950s and are blamed in part for declining populations of
salmon and other fish that live in the ocean but return to freshwater streams to spawn.
