The Public Utility Commission Thursday unanimously ratified the March 7 Emergency Order suspending operations of the Mariner East 1 Pipeline (ME1) in Chester County without discussion.
The Emergency Order requires additional testing and analysis on ME1, in response to safety concerns regarding the integrity of that pipeline which were raised by the PUC’s independent Bureau of Investigation & Enforcement – which includes the PUC’s Pipeline Safety Division.
This matter remains an active and ongoing investigation by the Commission’s independent Bureau of Investigation & Enforcement.
Future actions by the Commission will be contingent upon whether and how the terms and conditions of the Emergency Order are satisfied.
Any reinstatement of service will require formal action by the Commission, at which time the Commission will outline the process for addressing those matters.
Any additional public documents will be posted to the PUC’s online docket for this case – P-2018-3000281.
