Sunoco Pipeline Limited Partnership has released a 197-page Remedial Action Plan, which outlines how the company will continue cleaning up a jet fuel spill that has contaminated groundwater, private wells and soil in the Upper Makefield Township’s Mount Eyre neighborhood. The company also scheduled a July 8 public meeting to discuss the remediation plan. The plan, required by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, addresses the leak from Sunoco’s 70-year-old Twin Oaks Pipeline — which carries jet fuel from refineries south of Philadelphia through Bucks County to Newark, New Jersey — after a crack in a pipe sleeve was discovered in Mount Eyre in late January 2025. Neighbors had complained of a gasoline odor in their drinking water dating back to September 2023. Information on the remediation plan is available on the Upper Makefield Township website.
