ORDER
Intervenor Mountain Valley Pipeline ("MVP") has filed a petition for rehearing in this case. Pursuant to Fed. R. App. Proc. 40(a)(4)(A) and (C), we grant rehearing for the limited purpose of clarifying that our prior opinion in Sierra Club v. United States Forest Service, 897 F.3d 582 (4th Cir. 2018), does not vacate the portion of the Bureau of Land Management's Record of Decision authorizing a right of way and temporary use permits for MVP to cross the Weston and Gauley Bridge Turnpike Trail. The opinion otherwise remains in effect, and reargument is not necessary.
Entered at the direction of Judge Thacker with the concurrence of Chief Judge Gregory and Senior Judge Traxler.
For the Court
