State regulators have ordered Energy Transfer LP – the operator of the Revolution Pipeline that exploded near Monaca last month – to stop all work on that pipeline because of subsequent environmental violations. The state DEP issued an order on Monday to the pipeline company (which is based in Texas), alleging that its construction practices are failing to control erosion and soil movement and have impacted several streams in the area. The company must stop all activities, temporarily stabilize its work sites and submit a series of plans before it can continue with its work to get the pipeline back up and running again.

BREAKING NEWS: There were restrictions on the Pennsylvania Turnpike after a construction truck hit an overpass this morning. The crash happened between Cranberry Township and Beaver Valley exits in the area of Freedom Road. There were no reports of injuries. The restrictions were lifted shortly after 5:30 this morning.

FBI says suspicious parcel was addressed to CNN in Atlanta
By CURT ANDERSON, AP Legal Affairs Writer
MIAMI (AP) — Bomb squads were called to a post office in Atlanta on Monday about a suspicious package sent to CNN, investigators said Monday, just hours before a court hearing for a Florida man accused of sending packages containing explosive material to prominent Democrats.
The FBI said via its Twitter account that the recovered package was “similar in appearance” to those sent by 56-year-old Cesar Sayoc, whom authorities accuse of sending explosive material to Democrats and other prominent critics of President Donald Trump.
CNN President Jeff Zucker says all mail to CNN has been screened offsite since last week, when a series of package bombs began appearing around the country. Among them were two apparent mail bombs sent to CNN.
Sayoc was scheduled to appear Monday in federal court in Miami. He is accused of sending bubble-wrapped manila envelopes to Democrats such as Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. The packages were intercepted from Delaware to California. At least some listed a return address of U.S. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, former chair of the Democratic National Committee.
She represents the Florida district where the former male stripper, pizza driver and strip club DJ lived in an older van covered with bumper stickers praising Trump, disparaging Democrats and CNN and showing rifle crosshairs over liberals like Clinton and filmmaker Michael Moore.
Although authorities did not immediately say who might be responsible for the most recent package to CNN, the FBI said it believes the package discovered Monday is “similar in appearance” to those that Sayoc is accused of sending. Law enforcement officials have said they believe the packages were staggered and more could be discovered.
Separately, a U.S. official told The Associated Press that Sayoc kept a list of elected officials and others who investigators believe were intended targets. The official also said authorities recovered soldering equipment, a printer, and stamps similar to those used on the package bombs.
The official wasn’t authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity to the AP.
Sayoc was arrested Friday outside a South Florida auto parts store after investigators said they identified him through fingerprint and DNA evidence. He is being prosecuted in New York, so his Florida hearing will likely be brief and process-oriented. The main issue will be whether he waives extradition to New York and whether he seeks release on bail.
Authorities say Sayoc faces more than 50 years in prison if convicted on all charges. None of the bombs exploded and no one was injured.
