Gov. Wolf announced Wednesday that a new task force will formulate "policies, guidelines and tools" governing pipelines that deliver natural gas from the Marcellus Shale formation.

Wolf said the Pipeline Infrastructure Task Force will include representatives from state agencies, the legislature, federal and local governments, the pipeline and natural-gas industries, and environmental groups. John Quigley, acting secretary of the Department of Environmental Protection, will serve as chairman.

The proliferation of gas infrastructure projects has created friction with those living along pipeline routes. The task force will provide a final report detailing its findings by February 2016.
