Federal regulators on Tuesday gave developers of the Mountain Valley Pipeline three more years to finish construction of an extension of the natural gas pipeline from Virginia into North Carolina.

Congress gave the $6.6 billion Mountain Valley Pipeline the go-ahead last month to complete construction as part of a deal to raise the debt ceiling. But that hasn't ended the fight over the 304-mile pipeline that would carry fracked gas from West Virginia to Virginia — and by extension, possibly into central North Carolina.

Saturday marks one year since the discovery of a massive gasoline spill on the Colonial Pipeline in Huntersville, north of Charlotte. Officials say they're still researching the extent of the spill and they aren't sure how long it will take to clean up. As one of the largest gasoline spills on land in the United States, it continues to raise concerns from neighbors and officials from Huntersville to Raleigh to Washington, D.C.
