Lingering concerns about pipeline

The recent deal announced between several environmental groups and Sunoco Pipeline LP - which was approved by the state Environmental Hearing Board and a judge - cleared the path for horizontal directional drilling to resume along the controversial Mariner East 2 project.

It did not totally ease residents' concerns.

Last night the Middletown Coalition for Community Safety held an information session for residents. It stood in lieu of the regular council meeting, since there wasn't a quorum available.

More than 50 people showed up to get information and details on what could happen in the event of a leak or worse along the line.

Make no mistake, Sunoco Pipeline believes they are building the pipeline to the highest safety specs and believe fears in the community are greatly exaggerated.

That is not making them go away.
