The explosion led to the death of seven individuals, and injuries to 10 others. After two years of federal investigation, various causes rooted in a lack of workplace protection and pipeline safety were found to be at fault for the incident.

On March 24, 2023, an explosion occurred at the R.M. Palmer Chocolate Factory in West Reading, powerful enough to destroy the building and damage neighboring factory buildings and homes.

“There are still tens of thousands of gallons of hazardous liquid product sitting in an open trench which can soak into the soil and move toward groundwater, and its vapors can reach nearby communities. We need to know what’s in that liquid, what the monitoring shows, and what the cleanup plan is.”

“The only reason this accident wasn’t a catastrophe is luck. Not Enbridge’s safety practices and not our pipeline safety regulations,” Pipeline Safety Trust Executive Director Bill Caram said.

Its ignition behavior, leak profile, and tendency to embrittle common pipeline materials are precisely the risks that call for deep gas-pipeline expertise, not a jurisdictional handoff to an agency starting from zero.

Pipeline Safety Trust @pstrust.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Hydrogen gas presents risks that the Office of the State Fire Marshal has never had to manage, and no regulations are in place to address them.

100

Pipeline Safety Trust @pstrust.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

California's hydrogen pipeline bill, SB 804, hands oversight to a state agency with no experience regulating gas pipelines — while leaving the real safety gaps - such as leak monitoring, and setback distances, completely unaddressed.

Used in Germany since the 90s. They're required in the state of Massachusetts. We need them throughout the rest of the United States. #PipelineSafety #GasSafety #FireSafety #PublicSafety, #EnergyPolicy

A ruptured gas line can make a fire worse. Fire shutoff valves (FSVs) close automatically when exposed to high heat, such as a fire, which stops the flow of gas to the structure.

Calling 8-1-1 has proven to be the most effective preventative measure in excavation safety and helps to avoid potentially catastrophic accidents. #811, #energy, #energypolicy, #pipelinesafety

Pipeline Safety Trust @pstrust.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

21 years ago, the 811 call system was created and it helps protect lives and property every day. Since 2002, excavation damage has been in the top three leading causes of all significant and serious pipeline incidents.

Pipeline Safety Trust @pstrust.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Today is National #811Day and a great reminder to call 8-1-1 before any digging projects.

Congress should require all operators to install Rupture Mitigation Valves — or alternative equivalent technologies — on all existing pipelines in High Consequence Areas. #PipelineSafety #EnergyPolicy #Energy #SanBruno pstrust.org/wp-content/u...

Nearly 16 years later, PHMSA's improved RMV regulations still only apply to new pipelines, leaving older pipes in densely populated areas unprotected.

Pipeline Safety Trust @pstrust.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

This is San Bruno, California — September 9, 2010. A gas pipeline ruptured, killing 8 people and destroying 38 homes. It took over an hour to shut off the gas. Rupture Mitigation Valves could have significantly reduced that timeline.

Pipeline Safety Trust @pstrust.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

To protect our communities, Congress should mandate the publication of the PHMSA Final Rule "Pipeline Safety: Gas Pipeline Leak Detection and Repair" to the Federal Register for immediate incorporation into federal regulations. #methane, #energypolicy, #pipelinesafety, #naturalgas

000

Pipeline Safety Trust @pstrust.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

In 2020, Congress passed the PIPES Act of 2020, mandating that PHMSA create rules to modernize its leak detection and repair standards as well as mitigate intentional emission events. PHMSA submitted a final rule to the Federal Register but the rule was never published.

Pipeline Safety Trust @pstrust.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

Pipeline Safety Trust @pstrust.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

While PST cannot support a bill with these provisions included, we hope that the bill can continue to be strengthened and these provisions be removed as the reauthorization process continues. We thank the Committee members and staff for their hard work developing this bill.

Pipeline Safety Trust @pstrust.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

And another expanding the cost-benefit requirement that already keeps needed safety rules off the books.

Including a provision gutting PHMSA’s ability to protect the public in the special permit process.

Pipeline Safety Trust @pstrust.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

While we are pleased to see that the updated Pipeline Safety Authorization Act released this morning by the House Energy and Commerce Committee makes important improvements over the problematic previous version initially proposed, we remain concerned over multiple provisions.
