Sunoco Pipeline LP created a fire hazard during construction, made excessive noise and failed to adequately communicate with residents of an apartment complex, the ruling said.
Since Sunoco began work on the Mariner East pipelines, it has been fined at millions over environmental and other violations, an analysis of state records shows. The developer of a multi-billion-dollar pipeline that traverses southern Pennsylvania should have done more to protect the safety of more than 200 residents of an apartment complex during eight months of construction work, a judge ruled.
Cheskis fined the company $51,000 — the latest in a series of penalties assessed against Mariner East. The apartment complex is waging a separate legal battle seeking communications between municipal officials and Mariner East. Middletown Township has been refusing to produce the records, asserting they are exempt from disclosure under the state’s open records law. Energy Transfer also opposes their release.
