March 10, 2021 Mr. David K. Paylor Director, Department of Environmental Quality 1111 East Main Street, Suite 1400 Richmond, VA 23219 CC: Anita Walthall Air Permit Writer, Department of Environmental Quality Re: MVP Compressor Station - Pittsylvania County, VA Permit, Registration No. 21652 Dear Director Paylor and Ms. Walthall, As members of the Virginia General Assembly, and representing thousands of Virginians, we write to express concerns with the draft air permit for the Mountain Valley Pipeline “Lambert Compressor Station,” Registration No. 21652, and respectfully request that the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) elevate the permit review to the full Air Pollution Control Board, and do so, after extending the public comment period an additional 45 calendar days. We, and our constituents, share many concerns about the permit application: the environmental justice consultant’s report may not be accurately represented in MVP’s application, minimizing demographic data for communities of color in close proximity to the proposed compressor station; cumulative impacts may not have been sufficiently reviewed; emissions data from a full range of Hazardous Air Pollutants is not thoroughly expressed in the permit; and the submission of two new, relevant reports on February 25, 2021—forty-seven days into the public comment period—precludes transparency and sufficient time for public review. With the ongoing uncertainty of the MVP mainline, the developer’s history of violating Virginia’s environmental protections standards, and the potentially significant health impacts from the proposed station, a full and thorough review process by the public is critical. As genuine public outreach and education should be a crucial part to any permit decision that would adversely impact Virginia communities, we respectfully ask that you extend the public comment period for 45 additional days and bring review of this permit to the full Air Pollution Control Board. Sincerely, Delegate Chris Hurst Delegate Rodney Willett Delegate Kaye Kory Delegate Suhas Subramanyam Delegate Kenneth R. Plum Delegate Sally Hudson .
