A delay for pipeline risk assessment study

There is a new snag in the push to have Delaware County undertake its own risk assessment study of the Mariner East 2 pipeline project.

Those who oppose the project and who have been imploring officials to get on with the risk study were back at Delaware County Council Wednesday.

They left disappointed.

After signalling last week they were ready to put out proposals for the study, council could not agree on how they wanted to proceed with the project.

And of course it pretty much broke down on partisan grounds.

They will try again next week.

That's a good thing. Because the residents deserve this risk assessment study. They didn't ask for this project to show up in their neighborhoods. They deserve answers to their questions - and concerns.
