Last year, Energy Transfer, the parent company of Sunoco, was held criminally responsible for dozens of charges related to Mariner East and the 2018 explosion of the Revolution pipeline near Pittsburgh.
The sinkhole occurred in the area of Lisa Drive, West Whiteland Township, where multiple sinkholes first appeared during construction of the pipeline in March 2018.
Among other things, Energy Transfer will spend $10 million to restore waterways damaged by its construction.
Christina Digiulio said she has no illusions about winning the governor’s race as a Green Party candidate. But she wants to raise the voice of people who she says have been harmed by “pay to pollute” corporations.
Sunoco Pipeline LP, 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.
The company says the ongoing work isn’t construction — but people who have experience with the pipeline don’t trust the company.
The completion was welcomed by building trades looking to boost jobs, but dreaded by those living with an operating pipeline in their backyards.

Construction of the Mariner East 2 pipeline was paused after Sunoco spilled thousands of gallons of drilling mud into Marsh Creek Lake in the summer of 2020.
More than 120 environmental violations and $20M-plus in fines and assessments pushed the project more than two years past its original finish date.
At the heart of the Mariner East project’s construction incidents are people who watched in real time as Sunoco’s mistakes threatened places they love.
