From E&E News December 17, 2020

Biden picked the North Carolina DEQ Secretary, Michael Regan to be his EPA Administrator.
Although under Regan the NC DEQ did grant water permits to the ACP, it seems their position has evolved somewhat over time. In August 2020 the NC DEQ denied the water permits for the MVP Southgate Extension (citing the project’s speculative nature, given the uncertainties around MVP completion). At the time, Regan actually called it “an unnecessary project that poses unnecessary risks to our environment” 

Hooray for getting someone as EPA Administrator who is actually willing to take this kind of public stand against a pipeline project!
