Delco Holding Meeting On Pipeline Risk Assessment Study Findings

DELAWARE COUNTY, PA – The Delaware County Council is holding a public presentation of the Pipeline Risk Assessment where officials will address findings of an independent study on the risks associated with the operation of the Mariner East 2 pipeline and the converted Adelphia pipeline.

The presentation will be held at 6 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 17 in the County Council Public Meeting Room, located on the first floor of the Government Center.

The council contracted with G2 Integrated Solutions to conduct an independent study of the risks associated with the operation of the Mariner East 2 pipeline and the converted Adelphia pipeline.

Analysts from G2 will present the findings of the study to the council and members of the public at the Dec. 17 meeting.

In response to public discussions, this risk assessment was undertaken to estimate the level of individual risk to Delaware County residents from either the Mariner East 2 pipeline or the converted Adelphia pipeline and then compare to other common sources of risk experienced by the general population. The Mariner East 2 pipeline and Adelphia pipeline quantitative risk assessments were executed in a systematic process in which potential accident events were identified, the associated consequence and likelihood of such events were determined, and the risk measures estimated.

The full study is available online here.

The Government Center is located at 201 W. Front St. in Media.
