The East Goshen Pipeline Task Force provided input for reviews of both the Chester County and Pennsylvania hazard mitigation plans. The plans provide blueprints for first responders in emergency situations. In the past, pipelines have been approached using an all-hazard response. The Pipeline Task Force, along with other interested parties, is actively pursuing more specific and comprehensive response plans for pipelines. The taskforce has the cooperation of the East Goshen Township Board of Supervisors in actively advocating for a pipeline-only response. East Goshen Township has 11 pipelines that are currently located within its boundaries. Problems have been rare. The existing 2018 commonwealth plan can be viewed here.
