Good morning,
It has been announced that waivers for Mariner East have been granted for my neighborhood in Uwchlan Township where around 100 homes have easements and easily 200-300 homes are impacted my construction noise, fumes, vibrations, etc.
In January of 2018, ALL construction of Mariner East was halted for SIX weeks, across the entire state. Why now, in the middle of a public health crisis, are multiple areas being given waivers and considered âlife-sustainingâ. It wasnât life sustaining then, and itâs not now.
Governor Wolf has ordered us to stay home. My neighbors will NOT be able to stand to be in their homes 24/7 with this noise starting back up again. The mental stress on top of living in a pandemic is just too much. Kids wonât be able to learn from home. Parents canât work from home. Babies canât nap from home. My one neighbor has so much equipment in her backyard, she canât BREATH from home. It was bad enough before this pandemic, when people would leave their house purposefully every day, but now they canât.
Reverse the waivers. They put our communities public and mental health at risk every day they are here.
