Appalachian Voices v. State Water Control Board
Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
Petition for review denied by published opinion. Chief Judge Gregory wrote the opinion, in which Judge Wynn and Judge Thacker joined.
1Opinion of the Court
GREGORY, Chief Judge:
Pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act ("CWA"), the Virginia State Water Control Board ("Board") certified that it had reasonable assurance that activities related to the construction of a natural gas pipeline would not degrade the state's water resources. Environmental groups and their individual members disagreed with this certification, and they petitioned this Court to review the Board's decision. Because we conclude that the Board's Section 401 Certification for upland areas was not arbitrary and capricious, we deny the petition for review.
