MVP Organic Farm Protection Plan

In their Final Environmental Impact Statement, Mountain Valley Pipeline notified the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission of five organic farms that would be impacted by the proposed pipeline — four in Monroe County, WV and one in Franklin County, VA.

Please see the following document with MVP’s Organic Farm Protection Plan (OFPP), which was originally published January 2016 and provides additional guidelines and restrictions for construction on organic farms.

Among the stipulations in the OFPP are restrictions on substances such as fuel and lubricant for machinery, stipulations on the handling and storage of any topsoil removed from the site, and guidelines for increased compensation for landowners if organic certification is lost due to the construction project.
