PA DEP Orders Sunoco to Reroute ME2X Pipeline Around State Park
Sounding downright nasty and mean, the Pennsylvania Dept. of Environmental Protection (DEP) Secretary Pat McDonnell has ordered Sunoco Logistics Partners (Energy Transfer) to reroute part of the Mariner East 2X pipeline around Marsh Creek Lake State Park, following a spill of nontoxic drilling mud that ended up in Marsh Creek Lake in Chester County. McDonnell uses combative and incendiary words like Sunoco "blatantly disregarded the citizens" of Chester County, has been "careless" and is guilty of "unlawful actions." In a rather uppity tone, McDonnell says he will "not stand for more of the same" and he is "demanding a proper cleanup" of the site. Sunoco has been working diligently to clean up the spill since it happened.
