The owner of a natural gas pipeline that exploded in 2018 has been ordered by the state PUC not to use sections of that pipeline threatened by landslides.
Texas based Energy Transfer owns the 40 mile Revolution pipeline that runs through sections of Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, and Washington Counties.
A 2018 landslide caused a section in Center, Beaver County to separate, causing an explosion and fire that burned several acres and destroyed a home.
The PUC says the company has refused to submit safety designs for sections threatened by landslides.
ETC reportedly says the PUC has made up new standards.
