A recent problem with the Mariner East 2 pipeline—a sinkhole issue in an area typified by sinkholes—has given Food & Water Watch with an excuse for mischief.

A third sinkhole related to Mariner East 2 pipeline work and the uncovering (and subsequent shutdown) of the Mariner East 1 pipeline has some folks in Chester County, PA stirred up and rather grumpy. A group of some 150 anti-pipeline protesters (perhaps a better word is “mob”) gathered Saturday in Chester County near the sinkhole sites, carry signs and chanting but there’s more to the story.

Did the protesters demand the DEP and Gov. Wolf force Sunoco Logistics Partners, the builder of ME2, to find a different route around a geography known for sinkholes for decades? No.

Did they demand the DEP and Gov. Wolf force Sunoco to slow down in an attempt to prevent any more sinkholes? No.

Did they demand the DEP and Gov. Wolf demand Sunoco come to the table to talk about how they will prevent any more issues in the area–and compensate properties near the sinkhole? No.
