Why did the City decide to challenge the environmental permit?

Based upon the city's research, in coordination with its outside environmental legal counsel, this approach provides the City with the highest probability of allowing a court to consider arguments to oppose the pipeline. In the last 15 years, 14 interstate pipeline projects have been stopped. Six of those projects were stopped by challenges to the state-issued environmental water quality certificate. In 2017, the only successful challenges involved state water quality permits.
