The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection ordered Sunoco/Energy Transfer to reroute its planned Mariner East 2 pipeline route and further assess, investigate and restore resources impacted by the project in Upper Uwchlan Township, according to Daily Local News.

The company spilled over 8,000 gallons of drilling fluid in August, creating a 15-foot wide by 8-foot deep subsidence. The spill adversely impacted wetlands, two tributaries to Marsh Creek Lake and the lake itself, in Marsh Creek State Park.

As a result of the spill, 33 acres of the lake were closed off from boating and other recreational uses and access.
