Court Denies Landowner Appeal In Sunoco Mariner East 2 Pipeline Eminent Domain Case

Commonwealth Court Thursday concluded Cumberland County court did not err in September of 2015 when it overruled the objections of several property owners to condemnation of their property by Sunoco to build the Mariner East II pipeline.

Two dissenting opinions were filed with the decision.

The landowners appealed the ruling saying the Mariner East 2 pipeline was an intrastate not an interstate pipeline and was subject to regulation by the Public Utility Commission and there was not public need for the pipeline.

A copy of the majority and dissenting opinions are available online.
