Sunoco\u2019s control center responded to the rupture at about 3 a.m. Friday morning, after a decrease in pressure was detected and residents noticed a strong smell of gasoline, according to Sunoco spokesman Jeff Shields. The Department of Environmental Protection says it sent staff to the spill in Gamble Township along with local emergency crews, the state Fish and Boat Commission, the EPA, and the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission.<\/p>\n<div>The DEP says the area is difficult to access safely because of heavy flooding. The agency says the flood waters will have to recede before determining the source of the rupture, which may not be until Saturday as rain is expected to continue. In the meantime, Sunoco had shut down the 8-inch line that runs from Reading to Buffalo, N.Y. Sunoco has taken a lot of heat for its pipelines recently. Local opposition against the Mariner East 2 pipeline has resulted in arrests and lawsuits. Sunoco is also behind the planned Dakota Access pipeline that has drawn international attention for protests by Native Americans. And a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-usa-pipeline-nativeamericans-safety-i-idUSKCN11T1UW\">analysis by Reuters<\/a> of government data on pipeline spills shows Sunoco pipelines leak more often than any other operator, with 200 releases since 2010.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The gasoline in the Susquehanna river also prompted the shutdown of a water treatment plant in the area, though at this time water quality is said to not be affected.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>This article retrieved from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hazmatnation.com\/pennsylvania-pipeline-rupture-sends-55000-gallons-of-gasoline-into-waterway\/\">HazMatNation.com<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HMN-Pipeline officials noticed a pressure drop on a Sunoco gasoline pipeline Friday morning, along with reports of a gasoline odor in the area.\u00a0 This came after a breach in the pipeline released 55,000 gallons of gasoline into a Pennsylvania waterway.\u00a0 According to NPR the 8 inch line ruptured after heavy rains and flooding in the &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":22632,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[83],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Pennsylvania pipeline spill sends 55,000 gallons of gasoline into waterway<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Flash floods, landslides in Pennsylvania have caused a Sunoco pipeline to rupture.
