Trump’s fast-tracking of oil pipelines hits legal roadblocks 0 SHARES Share it! The Atlantic Coast pipeline may never be completed unless the US Supreme Court overturns a lower-court decision blocking its planned route, analysts said. Gerken, senior attorney with the Southern Environmental Law Center in Asheville, North Carolina, represented the Sierra Club and other environmental groups in cases challenging the Atlantic Coast pipeline. Petitioners including the Sierra Club, an environmental advocacy organization, sued the Forest Service, alleging the agency violated three federal acts in issuing a construction permit. Dominion pointed out that it filed its application to build Atlantic Coast in 2014.
