LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) - Dominion Resources is suing more landowners in Nelson County to gain access to their properties for a pipeline survey.

The News & Advance (https://bit.ly/1G1ga3K ) reports that the company filed lawsuits against 39 landowners last week. In December, the company sued 20 landowners in the county who won’t allow it to survey their properties for the proposed $5 billion natural gas pipeline.

The proposed Atlantic Coast Pipeline would run 550 miles through West Virginia, Virginia and North Carolina.



The pipeline is being proposed by Dominion, Duke Energy and other partners to deliver natural gas from Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia.
