SW PA Region Grows More Industrial

3/19/2018

Article Submitted By: ReImagine Beaver County 

Shell Pipeline Company recently applied to the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to build the 97-mile Falcon pipeline to feed the Shell petrochemical plant. In Beaver County this pipeline will travel through the watershed of the Ambridge Reservoir. Pipeline construction puts private and public water sources at risk. Two other Pennsylvania pipeline projects have been shut down because of construction permit violations, many cases of water contamination and safety issues. 
 
While you may not live in the specific region where this pipeline is being built, the whole SW PA area will experience continued challenges to air and water quality, community safety, and long term economic prosperity as a petrochemical hub is developed.
 
Yes, there will be jobs, but do these jobs come at too high of a cost? Right now, thousands of concerned citizens, including volunteers and people like yourself, are working to protect this region. We do have job-growth alternatives in less destructive industries.
 
 
To learn more, come to a meeting offered by Citizens to Protect the Ambridge Reservoir (CPAR). Take this opportunity to discuss how local government can better protect our communities, our water and our health.
