Terrie Baumgardner never considered herself an activist. But after learning about Shell's plans to build a multi-billion dollar ethane cracker near her community, she was all in.
The Department of Energy collected perspectives from Ohio Valley communities impacted by the ethane and petrochemical industries to include in a report to Congress.
The agency didn't issue Shell a fine for "probable violations" along sections of the Falcon pipeline but instead ordered the company to fix the problem.
Shell has put policies in place to try to prevent the spread of COVID. But photographs obtained by The Allegheny Front and StateImpact Pennsylvania show that policy isn’t always followed.
