Pa. senator files complaint to halt Mariner East pipeline project
Friday, May 4, 2018
Pennsylvania State Senator Andy Dinniman has filed a formal legal complaint and a petition for interim emergency relief with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission to halt construction on two natural gas pipelines in West Whiteland Township, according to StateImpact.
Alleging it poses a serious threat to public safety, Dinniman wants construction on the Mariner East pipeline project to cease. It includes three parallel natural gas liquids lines — the Mariner East 1, the Mariner East 2, and the Mariner East 2X.
Service on the Mariner East 1 line was halted earlier this spring. Dinniman’s complaint and petition relate to the second two lines — the Mariner East 2 and 2X.

What are mineral rights?
Mineral rights are the rights of the owner of the property to mine or produce any resources below the surface of the property. Mineral rights are different from surface rights.
Will I get free natural gas if I allow fracking on my property?
Maybe. It depends on your particular lease agreement. Some companies allow property owners a yearly free gas allowance. But, the process of connecting your property to the gas source may be more complicated. Some companies will provide a hookup, others require the landowner to provide one.
