As of 4 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 7, our approved third-party consultants have inspected 93 water wells in the neighborhood and have received results for 42 of those. Of the 93 sampled, 6 have hydrocarbons detected. We have 102 additional water wells scheduled (or in the process of being scheduled) to be inspected. We are making an effort to secure additional crews to accelerate this process. We will continue to provide bottled water to concerned landowners.

At the request of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), the pipeline will be operated at a 20% pressure reduction. In addition, we will be completing digs at certain locations along the pipeline to visually inspect the line. The work will begin this weekend at two locations in the township and proceed at additional sites along the line. We will notify landowners of the specific sites in advance of the work and will continue to provide more details to the community as work progresses.

Meanwhile, our crews are actively working to recover product from wells and remediate the impacted area. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) continues to provide environmental oversight. Energy Transfer intends to formally request DEP oversight of the remediation through the Act 2 process. More information on Act 2 can be found on the DEP website.

The section of pipeline where the leak was detected was removed and replaced late last week, and the pipeline was placed back into service following the review and approval of PHMSA. We continue to operate the pipeline with 24/7 monitoring for our liquids control center, while also performing our routine operational surveillance. In addition to following the PHMSA protocols for restarting the line, we have company personnel on site to visually inspect and monitor the pipeline. The root cause investigation of the leak is underway and ongoing.
