Drilling operations for a 350-mile pipeline that would run through several states and 17 Pennsylvania counties must stop until early August, according to an order issued Tuesday by the Pennsylvania Environmental Hearing Board.

The order impacts 55 drilling locations in Pennsylvania.

The Sunoco Mariner East 2 Pipeline would carry natural gas liquid from Ohio and the Pittsburgh area to a facility in Marcus Hook in Delaware County. Tuesday’s ruling comes after a leak at the Delco site caused thousands of gallons of drilling mud to flow into Chester Creek in Middletown Township, Pennsylvania.

The mud, which consisted of potable water and non-toxic bentonite clay, entered a tributary of the creek near the site of the drill.

“Residents living along the route of the pipeline have been assailed over the last few months by drilling spills and damage to water wells and water quality due to Sunoco’s reckless drilling,” said Joseph Otis Minott, executive director and chief counsel for the Clean Air Council, one of three organizations that petitioned to halt drilling operations associated with pipeline construction.

“Today’s decision provides residents with much-needed protection over the next two weeks.”

The temporary order expires Aug. 7 unless the Environmental Hearing Board extends it.

The $2.5-billion project winds through portions of Delaware, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Plans for Mariner East 2 span more than 23 miles in Chester County and more than 11 miles in Delco.

More than 80 percent of this pipeline will follow the same corridor as the existing Mariner East 1 project, which was completed in late 2014. It will have an initial capacity of approximately 275,000 barrels a day. The pipeline will be 20 inches in diameter.

Pennsylvania’s Department of Environmental Protection issued permitting in February, but the pipeline has been riddled with controversy from the beginning.

Most recently, a judge granted an injunction to halt construction in West Goshen Township after officials accused Sunoco Pipeline LP, a subsidiary of Sunoco Logistics LP, of violating a settlement agreement. A spokesperson for West Goshen claimed Sunoco started construction to install and operate the pipeline near Greenhill and Boot roads without notifying local officials.

Last week, 1,500 gallons of bentonite clay leaked into the Chester Creek in Middletown Township. Members of the Middletown Coalition for Community safety asked local officials for a meeting with community leaders, Sunoco representatives and the state environmental agency. 

Sunoco promised to rigorously test all pipes and monitor operation in real time. “Certified controllers closely watch the pipeline’s pressure, temperature and flow, 24 hours, 7 days a week from a control center dedicated exclusively to the safe operation of our pipelines, and can shut down pipeline operations remotely,” the company said on its website.

Earlier this month, residents in West Whiteland and Uwchlan townships claimed the pipeline contaminated their drinking water. A number of homeowners on Township Line Road, Valley View Drive, Biddle Drive and Shoen Road who rely on well water reported problems with low volume or muddy water. 

Sunoco provided residents with clean drinking water, paid for repairs to private drinking wells and offered to put residents up in hotels. The company also offered to pay to extend municipal water mains to dozens of Chester County households impacted by pipeline construction.

Sunoco was not immediately available for comment.

Dear Jersey Shore beach-goers,

Sharks, including great white sharks, some of earth’s top predators, are lurking close to the New Jersey and Delaware coast, and researchers are tracking their every sighting.

“We believe that you all are living in some critical habitat here,” said Chris Fischer from OCEARCH.

[[436525483, C]]

OCEARCH is a non-profit organization that tracks sharks with satellite tracking tags in order to learn more about them, protect their declining population and help the public to be aware and not afraid.

OCEARCH Global Shark Tracker has tracked sharks like Mary Lee, a great white who now has 126,000 twitter followers after being tagged five years ago.

They’ve also tracked Hilton, a 1300 pound great white shark that recently surfaced along the shores of Atlantic City.

“They’re here. They’re swimming these waters. They always have been," said Dr. Mike Hyatt, a veterinarian with Adventure Aquarium.

The group has tracked nearly two dozen great white sharks in our Northwest Atlantic Ocean.

[[436525573, C]]

Researchers don’t know much about great whites except that their population is declining.

“What we’re trying to do is solve the northwest Atlantic white shark puzzle,” Hyatt said.

They hope their research will help rebound the decline. Young great whites, a crucial creature at the top of the food chain, are especially vulnerable and are caught unintentionally.

“They help kind of manage the eco-system, the populations of all the other fish stocks," Hyatt said.

“We’re trying to figure out where our great white sharks in this region of the east coast are mating, birthing, traveling and where the babies live," said Fischer.

[[436525633, C]]

The group does not work solely in our Jersey Shore area. They’ve researched in the southeastern U.S. as well as New England.

NBC10 got the chance to board an OCEARCH ship near Wildwood, and you can track along with them as well.

Police say a father shot his son after the son attacked him with a sword inside a Pottstown, Pennsylvania home.

The father and son were inside their home on the 400 block of Lincoln Avenue around 5 p.m. Wednesday when they got into an altercation, according to investigators. The son, who police say was armed with a sword, allegedly attacked his father. The father, who police say was armed with a gun, opened fire and shot his son several times, according to investigators.

The son, identified by police as Andrew Lee, was taken to Reading Hospital where he is in critical condition. Lee’s father suffered a laceration to his hand after he was cut by the sword, police said. He was treated at the Pottstown Memorial Medical Center for non-life-threatening injuries.

Police continue to investigate what led to the altercation.

A group of Good Samaritans, including a former police officer, jumped into action when they found a woman trapped in an overturned car on the Blue Route.

Matt Weachter was driving home Monday on I-476 when he spotted a convertible flipped on its side at mile marker 14 between Villanova and the Schuylkill Expressway.

“Out of the corner of my eye I saw a car flipping over onto the shoulder,” he said.

Weachter pulled over, parked and got out of his vehicle to investigate. Moments later he heard a woman trapped inside the car. Other drivers passing by also stopped and the group worked to rescue her.

“By the grace of God other people stopped,” he said. “And there was enough manpower to lift that car.”

The group flipped the vehicle on its side and then freed the woman.

“I gave my pocket knife to a guy closer to the convertible top,” Weachter said. “He told her to, ‘Get back, get back,’ and he cut the convertible top.”

Weachter said the woman didn’t say a word when the group pulled her out.

“It was a blank stare,” he said. “”Obvious and total shock.”

State Police say the woman refused medical treatment at the scene.

The incident stirred up familiar feelings for Weachter, a former police officer of 14 years.

“I’ve run into many difficult crashes,” he said. “That one was scary because of the entrapment factor.”

What began as a moment of fear turned into a rewarding story Weachter and his family will talk about for a long time.

“It felt like you just won a sports event,” he said. “There was lots of high-fives, handshakes, chest bumps and hugs. It’s a good thing to do good for other people.”

The future of your health care is now in the hands of the U.S. Senate. Republicans barely got the votes they needed to simply debate a new health care bill and their first option for replacing Obamacare was voted down. NBC10's Keith Jones spoke to local patients who are waiting for answers in regards to their health care.

Construction is scheduled to begin next week on a project to repair and resurface 12 miles of the outer lanes on Roosevelt Boulevard (U.S. 1) between 9th street and the Bucks County line in Philadelphia. Work on the project is expected to be finished in mid-November.

"Improving our highways throughout Pennsylvania is a must, especially within a busy and vital corridor connecting the neighborhoods of north and northeast Philadelphia," Governor Tom Wolf said. “Roosevelt Boulevard is a key transportation artery, and this project will preserve and improve the local travel lanes.”

The outer lanes of the Boulevard from the Bucks County line to Red Lion Road and from Cottman Avenue (Route 73) to 9th street will be closed for milling and paving operations beginning Monday, July 31 through Thursday, August 3 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The closures will also be in effect Friday, August 4 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 10 a.m.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling on the Boulevard during those times due to expected backups and delays during the construction.

A data breach at one of Pennsylvania’s largest health networks has sparked safety concerns and questions regarding why it took several months for patients to be notified.

The Women’s Health Care Group of Pennsylvania, which is based in Oaks, Pennsylvania but has 45 offices serving women in Montgomery, Chester and Delaware Counties, sent a letter to patients this month informing them that hackers had stolen their information. That information included patient names, birth dates, social security numbers, pregnancy histories, blood type information and medical diagnoses.

“Once the information is out there, it’s out there,” said Kevin Hyde, a cyber security expert with Layer 8 Security. “There’s no getting it back. There's no pulling it back in." 

Hyde told NBC10 hackers can sell medical records on the dark web in bulk.

“So the information that’s captured is highly dangerous, highly sensitive information,” he said.

Chris Higgins, whose wife is a patient with the Women’s Health Care Group, emailed NBC10 after receiving a letter from the medical office detailing what was stolen.

“If a doctor’s office I think is going to ask for this type of information, you really feel like it should be encrypted as best as possible,” Higgins said. “It was a little infuriating for my wife and I.”

According to the letter, the information was stolen in January but they didn’t discover it was stolen until May and patients weren’t notified until July.

“It concerns me it took them that long,” Higgins said.

The Women’s Health Care Group of Pennsylvania filed a report with the FBI. They also told patients they are offering a year of identity protection. NBC10 reached out to the group who told us they have “no comment.”

Vote Shows GOP's Problems in Replacing Health Law: Where the Senate Republican effort to demolish the Obama health care law ends up is anyone's guess, but early indications are the GOP will have a hard time replacing that statute with any sweeping changes. Senators planned to vote Wednesday on a Republican amendment repealing much of President Barack Obama's law and giving Congress two years to concoct a replacement. A combination of solid Democratic opposition and Republicans unwilling to tear down the law without a replacement in hand were expected to defeat that plan. Late Tuesday night, the Senate voted 57-43 to block a wide-ranging proposal by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell replacing Obama's statute with a far more restrictive GOP substitute. Those voting no included nine Republicans, ranging from conservative Mike Lee of Utah to Maine moderate Susan Collins, in a roll call that raised questions about what if any reshaping of Obama's law splintered Republicans can muster votes to achieve.
