Today PA Governor Tom Wolf announced that he was directing the PA DEP to bar further permitting of the Mariner East 2 pipeline that travels through Berks County and the Revolution pipeline that exploded after it went into operation last year in Beaver County. The Mariner East 2 pipeline has had four drilling mud spills and a major leak last April. Wolf’s action is the strongest that he has taken against pipelines since he has been in office.
He is also calling for the PUC to increase safety standards and expand oversight authority for pipelines.
Thank you, Gov. Wolf. The next step is to ban fracking.
