The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality plans to disclose in December its recommendations to the State Water Control Board regarding water quality certification for two deeply controversial natural gas pipelines.
DEQ said it will recommend conditions that the seven-member citizens board should consider attaching to any Clean Water Act Section 401 water quality certification the board grants the projects.
Ann Regn, a DEQ spokeswoman, said it is also possible the agency will suggest that one or both projects not be granted certification.
