Background

The West Loop Gas Pipeline was approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in December 2019 and received its Pennsylvania state water quality permit in January 2020. Construction of the pipeline was halted in March 2020 as a result of Pennsylvania ordering all non-life-sustaining businesses to cease operations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
