State, federal agencies investigating Shell’s Falcon pipeline
Thursday, March 25, 2021
State and federal regulators are investigating Shell’s Falcon pipeline for reported issues with the construction of the pipeline, according to Farm and Dairy.
A former Shell employee contacted the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration in 2019 with allegations that the pipeline may have been built with a defective corrosion coating.
Although PHMSA decided through its investigation that there were no deficiencies in the coatings, Pennsylvania DEP Secretary Patrick McDonnell wrote a letter to the agency stating the investigation was “incomplete” and asked the agency to conduct a more thorough investigation into the allegations.
