Opponents of a plan to build a natural gas compressor station in a historically black community of Virginia say they've scored a 'major victory' for environmental justice after a federal court invalidated a key permit for the project.
Ultimately, Judge Stephanie Thacker wrote in the ruling,"even if all pollutants within the county remain below state and national air quality standards, the Board failed to grapple with the likelihood that those living closest to the Compressor Station — an overwhelmingly minority population according to the Friends of Buckingham Survey — will be affected more than those living in other parts of the same county.
Dominion spokesman Aaron Ruby said that from the company's perspective, the appeals court is simply"requiring more explanation and analysis from the state" before the air permit can be given the green light again. If the air permit is successful on a second attempt, construction could resume on the compressor project this summer.
