Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC  (ACP, LLC) has finally submitted a response to the January 7 decision by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals to vacate the Buckingham compressor station.  ACP, LLC made recently two supplemental information submissions to the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), each responding to different issues raised by the Fourth Circuit.

An April 24 submission to DEQ responded to the issue of “why electric turbines are not required to be considered in Virginia’s BACT [Best Available Control Technology] analysis of the Compressor Station.”  The company’s April 30 submission addressed the Court’s concern about “conflicting evidence in the record, the particular studies it relied on, and the corresponding local character and degree of injury from particulate matter and toxic substances threatened by construction and operation of the Compressor Station.”  It is uncertain when the matter will be taken by the Virginia Air Pollution Control Board, as that body has not yet scheduled a meeting to reconsider the project’s air permit.
