Lebanon County Town Holds 10th Hearing for ME Pump Stations

In June 2020, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court denied hearing an appeal for a case from Sunoco Logistics Partners about a permit for a pump station in Lebanon County, PA used to help flow natural gas liquids through the Mariner East pipeline system (see PA Supremes Rule Against ME1 Pump Station Permit in Lebanon County). The Supremes’ rejection meant a lower court ruling stands that requires a local town permit allowing the pump station to operate. Thing is, that pump station (two buildings, essentially two pump stations) were built years ago, have been and continue to operate, and will not get shut down. Yet West Cornwall Township has gone through the motions (a charade) since last summer of considering whether or not to grant the pump station buildings a permit.
