Energy Transfer pipeline projects on how in Pennsylvania ‘until further notice’
Monday, February 18, 2019
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection recently announced it’s suspending all permit reviews for pipeline builder Energy Transfer until further notice, according to DESMOG.
The company has been accused of having a record of law-breaking in Pennsylvania, causing sinkholes, water contamination and an early-morning pipeline explosion.
“There has been a failure by Energy Transfer and its subsidiaries to respect our laws and our communities,” Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf said in a statement when the suspension was announced. “This is not how we strive to do business in Pennsylvania, and it will not be tolerated.”
Energy Transfer has been building a network of pipelines in Pennsylvania that are designed to carry natural gas and natural gas liquids from fracked Marcellus shale wells.
