On April 25, the Public Utility Commission unanimously voted to turn down Sunoco’s request to resume construction of the Mariner East 2 Pipeline in West Whiteland Township, Chester County because the Commission is under a Commonwealth Court order to stay all actions related to the case until an appeal before the Court is resolved.

The appeal was brought before Commonwealth Court by Sunoco of the PUC’s previous actions related to the Mariner East 2 Pipeline in response to an action brought by Sen. Andrew Dinniman (D-Chester).

In a statement, Commission Andrew Place said DEP approved the restart of construction at the Shoen Road work location in West Whiteland Township in Chester County on March 29.

Documents related to this case are available at PUC Docket No. P-2018-3001453 and C-2018-3001451.
