Jet Fuel in the Kitchen Sink

This "Deep Dive" podcast documents a July 2026 public meeting where Sunoco Pipeline and its consultants presented a Remedial Action Plan (RAP) to address a jet fuel leak in Washington Crossing, PA. The representatives detailed a strategy centered on multi-phase extraction (MPE), a technology designed to remove fuel vapors, liquid product, and contaminated groundwater through a 30-day pilot test. Local residents and officials expressed significant frustration over the lack of transparency, specifically regarding redacted data in the report and the unknown total volume of the spill. Community members raised urgent concerns about safe drinking water, the long-term maintenance of filtration systems, and the potential for property value decline. Additionally, township leaders and legislators advocated for a permanent alternate water supply, criticizing the current cleanup progress as insufficient and slow. The meeting concluded with a call for complete accountability.
