OPINION BY
Judge RENÉE COHN JUBELIRER.
R. Scott Martin and Pamela S. Martin, Douglas M. Fitzgerald and LyndseyM. Fitzgerald, and Harvey A. Nickey and Anna M. Nickey (Condemnees) appeal from the September 29, 2015 Order of the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County (common pleas) that overruled Condemnees’ Preliminary Objections to Declarations of Taking (Declarations) filed by Condemnor Sunoco Pipeline, L.P. (Su-noco) to facilitate construction of the phase of its Mariner East Project known as the Mariner East 2 pipeline. Condemnees assert that common pléas erred when it overruled their Preliminary Objections because: Sunoeo’s Declarations are barred under the doctrine of collateral estoppel by an earlier York County decision; the Mariner East 2 pipeline is not an intrastate pipeline subject to Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) regulation; the Mariner East 2 pipeline does not provide PUC regulated service; and, no public need exists for the Mariner East 2 pipeline. After careful review of the record, we find no error and therefore affirm.
I. PUC and PERC Jurisdiction, Sunoco and the Mariner East Project
Before we address the specific facts of these appeals and their merits, it will be helpful to provide some general background information on the nature of the interrelationships between Sunoco, PUC and.Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), as well as the nature and history of the Mariner East Project.
A. Regulation of Public Utilities by PUC and by FERC
Section 1511(a)(2) of the Business Corporation Law of 1988 (BCL), 15 Pa. C.S. § 1511(a)(2), provides that “public utility corporations” may exercise the power of eminent domain to condemn property for the transportation of, inter alia, natural gas and petroleum products. Section 1108 of the BCL, 15 Pa.O.S. § 1103, defines public utility corporation as ‘-[a]ny domestic or foreign corporation for. profit that ... is subject to regulation as a public utility by the [PUC] or an -officer or agency of the United States — ” FERC is an agency of the United States that may regulate an entity as a public utility under this section.
Jurisdiction over the certification and regulation of public utilities in the Commonwealth is vested in PUC through the Public Utility Code (Code). However, simply being subject to PUC regulation is insufficient for an .entity to have the power of eminent domain. Section 1104 of the Code, .66 Pa.C.S. § 1104, requires that a public utility must possess a certificate of public convenience (CPC) - issued by PUC pursuant to Section 1101 of the Code, 66 Pa.C.S. § 1101, before exercising the power of eminent domain.
Both FERC and PUC regulate the shipments of natural gas and petroleum products or service through those pipelines, and not the actual physical pipelines conveying those liquids. (R.R. at 1344a.) FERC’s jurisdiction is derived from the Interstate Commerce Act (ICA) and applies to interstate movements, while the Code and PUC’s jurisdiction apply to intrastate movements. This jurisdiction is not mutually exclusive. See, e.g., Amoco Pipeline, Co., 62 F.E.R.C. ¶ 61119, at 61803-61804, 1993 WL 25751, at *4 (Feb. 8, 1993) (finding that “the commingling of oil streams is not a factor in fixing jurisdiction under the ICA”); (R.R. at 687a, 693a, 1379a-80a.) In Amoco, FERC held as follows:
Amoco argues that the commingling of the crude oil from Wyoming and other states makes all of the commingled crude oil subject to the interstate rate. This argument has no merit. As the cases demonstrate, the commingling of oil streams is not a factor in fixing jurisdiction under the ICA. Rather, we look to the “fixed and persistent intent of the shipper,” and to such factors as whether storage or processing interrupt the continuity of the transportation.
It is not disputed that both interstate and intrastate transportation occur over the pipeline segments in question, nor is there any dispute that crude oil shipped by Sinclair over these segments, no matter where produced, is destined for Sinclair’s Wyoming refineries. Therefore, the crude oil produced outside of Wyoming and transported over Amoco’s Wyoming facilities to Sinclair’s refineries in that state is moving in interstate commerce and is covered by the tariffs filed by Amoco with this Commission. Transportation over Amoco’s facilities of that portion of the crude oil that is both produced and refined in Wyoming is subject to the regulation of the Wyoming [Public Service Commission]. Commingling does not alter the jurisdictional nature of the shipments, and as Sinclair has stated, the question of jurisdiction arises only in the context of the facts relevant to individual shipments. Amoco argues that later decisions have effectively overruled this precedent. However, the cases cited by Amoco relate to the transportation of natural gas, which is governed by the Natural Gas Act (NGA), and which do not control our determination of the effect of commingling crude oil from various sources.
62 F.E.R.C. at ¶¶ 61803-61804, 1993 WL 25751 at *4. See also National Steel Corp. v. Long, 718 F.Supp. 622, 625 (W.D.Mich.1989) (holding in a prospective challenge to the exercise of regulatory jurisdiction by the Michigan Public Service Commission that the federal scheme under the ICA “is not so comprehensive as to address the local interests which are the focus of state regulation.”); Humble Oil & Refining Co. v. Tex. & Pac. Ry. Co., 155 Tex. 483, 289 S.W.2d 547 (1955) (where shipper produced oil in New Mexico and Texas and delivered it by pipeline to Texas tank farm where it was commingled and shipped by rail to various destinations, the shipper accepting at destination the equivalent of oil delivered to farm, that portion of oil shipped which was equivalent in volume to that produced in New Mexico was subject to interstate rate, while that portion equivalent in volume to that produced in Texas was subject to intrastate rate.); Removing-Obstacles to Increased Elec. Generation & Natural Gas Supply in the W. United States, 94 F.E.R.C. ¶¶ 61272, 61977 (Mar. 14, 2001) (FERC authority limited to regulating terms and rates of interstate shipments on a proposed line). Thus, it is apparent from these authorities that it is PUC, and not FERC, that has authority to regulate intrastate shipments. Similarly, the record shows that pipeline service operators in Pennsylvania, such as Sunoco, can be, and frequently are, simultaneously regulated by both FERC and PUC through a regulatory rubric where FERC jurisdiction is limited only to interstate shipments, and PUC’s jurisdiction extends only to intrastate shipments. (R.R. at 1379a-80a.)
B. Regulation of Sunoco as a Public Utility
As to Sunoco generally, the record shows that it has been operating as á public utility corporation in Pennsylvania since 2002, at which time Sunoco received PUC approval for the transfer, merger, possession, and use of all assets of the Sun Pipe Line Company (“Sun”) and of the Atlantic Pipeline Corporation (“Atlantic”), both of which were subject to PUC jurisdiction. (R.R, at 28a-33a, 670a.) As such, Sunoco came into possession of a pipeline system operated previously by Sun and its predecessors and Atlantic and its predecessors. This “legacy” pipeline system operated under CPCs issued in 1930 and 1931 by PUC’s statutory predecessor, the Pennsylvania Public Service Commission. (R.R. at 89a-90a.) The record substantiates that the pipeline system previously provided and currently provides interstate and intrastate service on the same pipelines. (R.R. at 90a-93a, 657a, 672a, 687a, 821a-22a, 1383a-87a.) PUC has regulated Sunoco’s intrastate pipeline transportation of petroleum products and refined petroleum products since 2002, and FERC has regulated Sunoco’s interstaté service of the same products on the same pipelines. (R.R. at 90a-93a, 1383a-87a.)
As to regulation by PUC, that agency in an Order entered on October 29, 2014 concluded that: “Sunoco has been certificated as a public utility in Pennsylvania for many years, and [that] the existence of Commission Orders granting the [CPCs] to Sunoco is prima facie evidence ... that Sunoco is a public utility under .the Code.” (R.R. at 116a.) PUC further explained that Sunoco’s existing authority under its prior CPCs gave it the right to reverse -the flow within the existing pipeline and to add new pipelines if Sunoco concluded it was necessary to expand the previously certificated service, stating:
Thus, Sunoco has the authority to provide intrastate petroleum and refined petroleum products bi-directionally through pipeline service to the public between the Ohio and New York borders and Marcus Hook, Delaware County through generally identified points. This authority is not contingent upon a specific directional flow or a specific route within the certificated territory. Additionally, this authority is not limited to a specific pipe or set of pipes, but rather, includes both the upgrading of current facilities and the expansion of existing capacity as needed for the provision of the authorized service within the certificated territory.
(R.R. at 122a (emphasis added).)
Additionally, by Order dated July 24, 2014, PUC clarified Sunoco’s authority under its existing CPCs to transport petroleum products and refined petroleum products, including propane, between Delmont, Westmoreland County and Twin Oaks, Delaware County. (R.R. at 41a-51a.) Therein, PUC stated that Sunoco retained that authority under its 2002 CPCs, its prior suspension and abandonment of gasoline and distillate service notwithstanding. (R.R. at 49a.) PUC further found that Sunoco’s proposed intrastate propane service would result in “numerous potential public benefits” by allowing Su-noco “to immediately address the need for uninterrupted deliveries of propane in Pennsylvania and to ensure- that there is adequate pipeline capacity to meet peak demand for propane during the winter heating season.” (R.R. at 49a-50a.)
Further, by Order dated August 21, 2014, PUC granted Sunoco’s Application for a CPC to expand its service territory into Washington County. (R.R. at 60a-64a.) In that Application, Sunoco stated that it intended to expand the capacity of the Mariner East Project by implementing the Mariner East 2 pipeline, which would increase the take-away capacity of natural gas liquids (NGLs) from the Marcellus Shale and allow Sunoco to provide additional on-loading and off-loading points within Pennsylvania for interstate and intrastate propane shipments. (R.R. at 61a-62a.) PUC, by authorizing the provision of intrastate petroleum and refined petroleum products pipeline transportation service in Washington County in the August 21, 2014 Order expanded the service territory in which Sunoco is authorized to provide Mariner East service. (R.R. at 60a-64a.) PUC found that the expansion was in the public interest, stating:
Upon full consideration of all matters of record, we believe that approval of this Application is necessary and proper for the service, accommodation, and convenience of the public. We believe granting Sunoco authority to commence intrastate transportation of propane in Washington County will enhance delivery options for the transport of natural gas and natural gas. liquids in Pennsylvania. In the wake of the propane shortage experienced in 2014, Sunoco’s proposed service will increase the. supply of propane in markets with a demand for these resources, including in Pennsylvania, ensuring that Pennsylvania’s citizens enjoy access to propane heating fuel. Additionally, the proposed service will offer a safer and more economic transportation alternative for shippers to existing rail and trucking services....
(R.R. at 63a (emphasis added).)
Therefore, pursuant to PUC’s Orders, Sunoco has CPCs that authorize it to transport, via its pipeline system, petroleum and refined petroleum products, including propane, from and to points within Pennsylvania. This authority was expanded to include Washington County in recognition of the public need and the importance of increasing the supply of propane to the citizens of Pennsylvania.
C. The Mariner East Project
In 2012, Sunoco announced its intent to develop an integrated pipeline system for transporting petroleum products and NGLs such as propane, ethane, and butane from the Marcellus and Utica Shales in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio to the Marcus Hook Industrial Complex (“MHIC”) and points in between. (R.R. at 9a, 46a, 1377a.) Sunoco’s various filings describe the overall goal of the Mariner East Project as an integrated pipeline system to move NGLs from the Marcellus and Utica Shales through and within the Commonwealth; and to provide take away capacity for the Marcellus and Utica Shale plays and the flexibility to reach various commercial markets, using pipeline and terminal infrastructure within the Commonwealth. (R.R. at 61a, 91a, 93a-94a, 656a, 662a.)
1. Mariner East 1
The Mariner East Project has two phases. The first, referred to as Mariner East 1, has been completed and utilized Sunoco’s existing pipeline infrastructure, bolstered by a 51-mile extension from Houston, in Washington County, to Del-mont, in Westmoreland County, to ship 70,000 barrels per day of NGLs from the Marcellus Shale basin to the MHIC. (R.R. at 46a, 93a, 498a, 1377a.)
1. Mariner East 2
Sunoco has begun work on the second phase of the Mariner East Project, known as Mariner East 2. (R.R. at 16a.) Unlike Mariner East 1, which used both existing and new pipelines, Mariner East 2 requires construction of a new 351-mile pipeline largely tracing the Mariner East 1 pipeline route, with origin points in West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. (R.R. at 658a, 1377a-78a.) Sunoco’s plans for the Mariner East 2 phase include constructing two adjacent pipelines separated by approximately five feet over the portion of the Mariner East line which runs from Delmont, Pennsylvania to the MHIC, and a single line over the portion of the Mariner East line which runs between Delmont and the West Virginia border. (R.R. at 17a.) With the exception of some valves, Mariner East 2 will be below ground level, with most of it paralleling and within the existing right of way of the Mariner East 1 pipeline. Part of Mariner East 2 will be located in Cumberland County which is within the geographic scope of the CPC issued to Su-noco by the PUC. (R.R. at 12a, 18a.)
While Mariner East 1 was underway, Marcellus and Utica Shale producers and shippers advised Sunoco that there was a need for additional capacity to transport more than the 70,000 barrels of NGLs per day being transported by Mariner East 1. (R.R. at 694a-95a, 1339a, 1378a.) Sunoco thus undertook to expand Mariner East Project capacity and developed the Mariner East 2 pipeline. (R.R. at 1339a-40a, 1384a.)
This expansion of the Mariner East 1 service will enlarge capacity to allow movement of an additional 275,000 barrels per day of NGLs, (R.R. at 498a), thereby allowing shippers from the Marcellus and Utica Shales to transport more barrels of NGLs through the Commonwealth to destinations within the Commonwealth, as well as to the MHIC for storage, processing, and distribution to local, domestic, and international markets. (R.R. at 604a, 1251a.) It is intended to increase the take-away capacity of NGLs from the Marcellus and Utica Shales and enable Sunoco to provide additional on-loading and off-loading points within Pennsylvania for both interstate and intrastate propane shipments and increase the amount of propane that would be available for delivery or use in Pennsylvania. (R.R. at 661a-64a, 1377a-78a.)
PUC recognized this sécond phase of the Mariner East Project in its August 21, 2014 Order granting Súnoco’s CPC application for Washington County, stating:
Subject to continued shipper interest, Sunoco intends to undertake a second phase of the Mariner East project, which will expand the capacity of the project by constructing: (1) a 16 inch or larger pipeline, paralleling its existing pipeline from Houston, PA to the Marcus Hook Industrial Complex and along much of the same route, and (2) a new 15 miles of pipeline from Houston, PA to a point near the Pennsylvania-Ohio boundary line. This second phase, sometimes referred to as “Mariner East 2”, will increase the take away capacity of natural gas liquids from the Marcellus Shale and will enable Sunoco to provide additional on-loading and offloading points within Pennsylvania for both intrastate and interstate propane shipments.
(R.R. at 61a-62a (emphasis added).)
Sunoco does not contest that the Mariner East Project .initially was prioritized for interstate service.. However, before PUC and common pleas, Sunoco explained that during and after winter 2013-2014, as a result of the “polar vortex,” it had a significant increase in shipper demand for intrastate shipments of propane due to an increase in consumer demand within Pennsylvania as a result of shortages due to harsh winter conditions and insufficient pipeline infrastructure. (R.R. at 694a-95a, 1378a.) These changes in market conditions led Sunoco to accelerate its provision of intrastate service on the Mariner East Project. Sunoco thus sought and obtained PUC approval to provide intrastate service on the Mariner East 1 and 2 pipelines as described above.. As described in more detail below, PUC issued three final Orders in 2014 and two final Orders in 2015 confirming that Sunoco is a public utility corporation subject to PUC regulation as a public utility. PUC also recognized that the service provided by both phases of the Mariner East Project is a public utility service.
3. PUC Orders and Tariffs
Sunoco on May 21, 2014 filed an application pursuant to Section 703(g) óf the Code, 66 Pa.C.S. § 703(g), to clarify an August29, 2013 PUC Order granting Su-noco authority to suspend and abandon its provision of east-to-west gasoline and distillate service (and the corresponding tariffs) in certain territories along its pipeline in order to facilitate the west-to-east Mariner East service of NGLs in those territories. (R.R. at 10a!) PUC on July 24, 2014, issued an Opinion and Order granting Sunoco’s Application ’and reaffirmed Sunoco’s authority under its existing CPCs to transport petroleum products and refined petroleum products, including propane, between Delmont, Westmoreland County, and Twin Oaks, Delaware County. (Id.) This approved route includes Cumberland County. (R.R. at 12a, 18a.)
PUC in its July 24, 2014 Order recognized that: circumstances changed regarding the Mariner East Project since August 2013 and that in response, Sunoco intended to provide intrastate transportation service of propane to respond to changing market conditions and increased shipper interest in additional intrastate pipeline service facilities; the definition of “petroleum products” is interpreted broadly to encompass propane; and Sunoco’s proposed intrastate propane service will result in numerous public benefits by allowing it “to immediately address the need for uninterrupted deliveries of propane in Pennsylvania and to ensure that there is adequate pipeline capacity to meet peak demand for propane during the winter heating season.” (R.R. at 48a-50a.)
In addition to the May 21, 2014 application, Sunoco on June 12, 2014 filed Tariff Pipeline Pa. P.U.C. No. 16, with a proposed effective date of October 1, 2014. This tariff reflected PUC-regulated pipeline transportation rate for the west-to-east intrastate movement of propane from Mechanicsburg (Cumberland County) to Twin Oaks. (R.R. at 53a-54a.) PUC by final Order dated August 21, 2014, permitted the tariff to become effective on October 1, 2014. (R.R. at 53a-57a.)
PUC, by these actions and through Su-noco’s previously obtained CPCs, authorized Sunoco as a public utility to transport, as a public utility service, petroleum and refined petroleum products both east to west and west to east in the following Pennsylvania counties through which the Mariner East Project is located: Allegheny, Westmoreland, Indiana, Cambria, Blair, Huntingdon, Juniata, Perry, Cumberland, York, Dauphin, Lebanon, Lancaster, Berks, Chester, and Delaware. (R.R. at 10a-12a, 48a-49a, 60a-64a.)
Sunoco’s service territory originally did not include Washington County because Sunoco did not maintain facilities there and had not applied to PUC for a CPC for that county. However because the planned Mariner East service would originate in Washington County, Sunoco on June 6, 2014 applied to PUC to expand its service territory into that county. (R.R. at 12a-13a.) PUC . by Order dated August 21, 2014 granted Sunoco’s application and authorized the provision of intrastate petroleum and refined petroleum products pipeline transportation service in Washington County, thus expanding Sunoco’s service territory for its intrastate Mariner East service. (R.R. at 60a-64a.)
II. Background of the Instant Appeals
The genesis of this matter was the filing by Sunoco on July 21, 2015 of the three Declarations in common pleas. As to Con-demnees R. Scott Martin and Pamela S. Martin, Sunoco sought to condemn a permanent non-exclusive easement of 1.5 acres, a temporary workspace easement of 0.72 acres, and an additional workspace easement of 0.12 acres on the Martins’ property on Longs Gap Road, North Middleton Township, Cumberland County. (R.R. at 7a-156a.) As to Condemnees Douglas M. Fitzgerald and Lyndsey M. Fitzgerald, Sunoco sought to condemn a permanent non-exclusive easement of. 0.14 acres and a temporary workspace easement of 0.07 acres on .the Fitzgeralds’ property at 281 Pine Creek Drive, Carlisle, Cumberland County. (R.R. át 307a-454a.) As to Condemnees Harvey A. Nickey and Anna M. Nickey, Sunoco sought to condemn a permanent non-exclusive easement of 0.7 acres, and a temporary workspace easement of 0.31 aerés on the Nickeys’ property at 125 Blain McCrea Road, Lower Mifflin Township, Cumberland County. (R.R. at 157a-306a.) Condemnees filed Preliminary Objections to the Declarations for their respective properties; (R.R. at 455a-507a, 561a-613a, 508a-560a.)
Condemnees are here, and were before common pleas, represented by the same counsel. Hence all three sets of Preliminary Objections raised the same objections to theDeclarations subject to variances for tÜe individual properties. All Condemnees objected: that Sunoco lacked the power or the right to condemn their land as Sunoco was not a public utility regulated by PUC for the Mariner East 2 pipeline; that Su-noco’s corporate resolution authorized takings only for an interstate pipeline and not an intrastate pipeline; that the declarations were barred by collateral estoppel on the basis of the. York County decision; that the Mariner East 2 pipeline was an interstate pipeline and not an intrastate pipeline; that the Declarations sought to condemn their properties for two pipelines while the agency Condemnees assert has sole jurisdiction, FERC, approved only one pipeline; that Sunoco lacked the FERC Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (Certificate) necessary to exercise eminent domain power for the pipeline; and that Sunoco’s proposed bond amounts were insufficient. (Id.)
Sunoco filed responses to Condemnees’ Preliminary Objections that were, like the objections, essentially uniform. With regard to the corresponding objections referenced in the preceding paragraph, Sunoco asserted: that PUC recognizes that, the fact that Sunoco has FERC authorization to make interstate movements on Mariner East notwithstanding, Sunoco also has authority under state law to provide intrastate service as a public utility regulated by PUC; that the borporate resolution attached to the Declarations is not defective in any way; that the identical issue of whether Sunoco-has the power of eminent domain to condemn for the Mariner East 2 pipeline was not decided previously in the York County decision; that the Mariner East 2 pipeline is regulated by both PUC and by FERC; that FERC’s regulation of interstate shipments on Mariner East 2 pipeline is inapplicable to a determination of Sunoco’s eminent domain authority as a Pennsylvania-regulated public utility; that a FERC Certificate is not the only method by which a public utility can obtain eminent domain power in Pennsylvania where state law provides eminent domain authority both to utilities regulated by PUC and to utilities regulated by an officer or agency of the United States, such as FERC; and that the bonds posted by Sunoco were adequate. (R.R. at 621a-33a, 951a-63a, 786a-98a.)
III. Common Pleas Decision
Common pleas consolidated the three Declarations and Preliminary Objections for hearing as they essentially were identical, and scheduled a hearing on the Preliminary Objections for September 22, 2015. Both Condemnees and Sunoco offered testimony and entered exhibits into the record. (R.R. at 1328a-1998a.) Common pleas on September 29, 2015, entered its Order overruling Condemnees’ Preliminary Objections. Condemnees appealed to this Court and common pleas directed the filing of a Concise Statement of Errors Complained of on Appeal (Statement) pursuant to Rule 1925(b) of the Pennsylvania Rules of Appellate Procedure, Pa.R.A.P. 1925(b). Following receipt of Con-demnees’ Statements, common pleas on December 22, 2015 issued its Opinion in support of its September 29, 2015 Order. Common pleas first addressed Con-demnees’ contention that FERC possesses sole jurisdiction over the Mariner East 2 pipeline. After repeating the text of the first paragraph of the footnote from the September 29, 2015 Order, common pleas noted that “the Natural Gas Act (NGA)[] 15 U.S.C. § 717(a)(5)[ ] ... grants ‘FERC exclusive jurisdiction over the transportation and sale of natural gas in interstate commerce for resale,’ ” but observed further that “[hjowever, [Mariner East 2 pipeline] will transport natural gas liquids (NGLs), and thus, the physical pipeline is not regulated under the ambit of FERC through the NGAC].” (December 22, 2015 Op. at 3 (footnote omitted) (citation omitted).) Common pleas stated further that:
Condemnees[] also argue that because [Sunoco] did not receive a Certificate .... from FERC for ME2, they do not possess the power of eminent domain under federal law. Again, Con-demnees are operating under the mistaken belief that FERC regulates the siting of NGL pipelines.” FERC, pursuant to the NGA, regulates the siting of pipelines that carry interstate shipments of natural gas, doing so through the issuance of a CPC.[ ] Because FERC does not possess authority to regulate the siting of NGL pipelines, the responsibility falls to state agencies regardless of the physical jurisdiction of the NGL pipeline.[ ]
We were satisfied that the PUC regulates intrastate shipments of NGL. Therefore, [Sunoco] is considered a “public utility corporation” under Pennsylvania’s Business Corporation Laws (BCL).[] Pursuant to 15 Pa.C.S.[] § 1511(a)(2), public utility corporations “have the right to take, occupy and condemn property for [the] principal purpose!] and ancillary purposes reasonably necessary or appropriate for .the accomplishment of ... [t]he transportation of ... petroleum or petroleum products . for the public.” As a result, [Sunoco] has the power of eminent domain to condemn property for the construction of [Mariner East 2 pipeline].
(December 22, 2015 Op. at 3-4 (footnotes omitted).)
Common pleas next addressed Con-demnees’ collateral estoppel argument and relied on the text of the second paragraph of the footnote from the September 29, 2015 Order quoted above in holding that the reasoning in the York County decision relied upon by Condemnees, Sunoco Pipeline, L.P. v. Loper, 2013-SU-4518-05 (C.P.York, February 24, 2014) (reaffirmed March 25, 2014), did not apply in this instance because Sunoco reconfigured the Mariner East 2 pipeline “to be both an interstate pipeline as well as an intrastate pipeline subject to PUC regulation.” (December 22, 2015 Op. at 4-5.) With regard to Condemnees’ argument that Sunoco, to obtain the power of eminent domain under the BCL, must be granted a FERC Certificate as set forth in Natl Fuel Gas Supply Corp. v. Kovalchick Carp., 74 Pa. D. & C.4th 22 (2005), common pleas concluded that Kovalchick also was inapposite to the facts of this case. Common pleas noted that the condemnor in Kovalchick was granted eminent domain power because it was subject to FERC regulation under the NGA. However, as common pleas earlier concluded that the Mariner East 2 pipeline was not regulated by FERC under the NGA because it does not transport patural gas; common pleas held that Sunoco did not need a FERC Certificate to obtain the eminent domain power under the BCL. (December 22, 2015 Op. at 5-6.) Common pleas also rejected Condemnees’ argument that PUC’s orders issued to Sunoco regarding the Mariner East project did not include a reference to the Mariner East 2 pipeline, noting that PUC Order attached to each Declaration as Exhibit D provides:
Subject to continued shipper Interest, Sunoco intends to undertake a second phase of the Mariner East project ... This second phase, sometimes referred to as ‘Mariner East 2’, [sic] will increase the take-away capacity of natural gas from the Marcellus Shale and will enable Sunoco to provide additional on-loading and offloading points within Pennsylvania for both intrastate and interstate propane shipments.
(December 22,2015 Op. at 6.)
IV. Issues Before This Court
A. Collateral Estoppel
Condemnees appealed to this Court. Condemnees first argue that common pleas erred when it declined to find that Sunoco’s Petitions were barred by the doctrine of collateral estoppel based on Loper. As described above, common pleas concluded that Loper is inapposite to this matter because it was decided when Sunoco’s plans for the Mariner East 2 pipeline featured a purely interstate pipeline, crossing Pennsylvania state lines but containing no stations for the offloading of transported materials in Pennsylvania. Common pleas pointed out here that in Loper, Sunoco argued that FERC provided it with the power of eminent domain for a purely interstate pipeline, and that subsequently Sunoco repurposed Mariner East 2 to be both an interstate pipeline as well as an intrastate pipeline subject to PUC regulation.
Condemnees argue here that common pleas erred and that Mariner East 2 is in interstate service only. On that basis, PUC lacks jurisdiction and Sunoco thus is not a public utility corporation under the BCL. Moreover, Condemnees assert that Sunoco is regulated by FERC as a common carrier and not as a public utility with the power of eminent domain. Con-demnees state that in Loper, Sunoco contended that it is a public utility under the BCL and therefore clothed with the eminent domain power and that Sunoco makes the same argument in this matter. For these reasons, Condemnees argue that the issue presented before common pleas is identical to that presented in Loper and that collateral estoppel applies to bar Su-noco’s Declarations as to Condemnees..
Collateral estoppel bars any subsequent action where the sole issue requiring judgment was litigated previously. Thompson v. Karastan Rug Mills, 228 Pa.Super. 260, 323 A.2d 341, 343 (1974). For collateral estoppel to apply, the following conditions must be met: (1) thé issue or issue of fact previously determined in a prior action are the same (no requirement that the cause of action be the same); (2) the previous judgment is final on the merits; (3) the party against whom the doctrine is invoked is identical to the party in the prior action; and (4) the party against whom estoppel is invoked had full and fair opportunity to litigate the issue in the prior action. Dep’t of Tmnsp. v. Martinel- li, 128 Pa.Cmwlth. 448, 563 A.2d 973, 976 (1989).
Based on the record in this case, common pleas did not err in finding that collateral estoppel does not bar this action. The issue decided in Loper is not the same issue raised in this case, and so it does not meet the first condition. At issue in Loper was whether Sunoco satisfied the definition of public utility corporation as a result of the regulation of its interstate service by FERC and not as a result Of PUC’s regulation of its intrastate service. At the time Loper was decided, Sunoco had hot yet sought or obtained PUC approval to provide intrastate service. (R.R. at 107a, 1378a.) The Lopef court addressed only whether Sunoco was a public utility corporation because it was subject to regulation as a public utility by an officer or agency of the United States, i.e., FERC, and did not decide whether Sunoco was a public utility corporation because it was subject to regulation as a public utility by PUC, the issue raised here. Although Con-demnees disagree that Sunoco can prevail on this issue that is a separate inquiry from whether the issue was previously decided. For these reasons, we agree that collateral estoppel is not a bar to this case.
B. Whether Mariner East is both an Interstate and Intrastate Pipeline
Condemnees next argue that common pleas erred when it concluded that the Mariner East 2 pipeline was both an interstate and an intrastate pipeline subject to PUC jurisdiction. This argument is grounded in the fact that Sunoco is a common carrier under the ICA and that it obtained FERC approval to transport NGLs from Ohio and West Virginia to the MHIC and beyond via the Mariner East 2 pipeline. Put another way, Condemnees assert that PUC has jurisdiction only over pipelines beginning and ending entirely in Pennsylvania, and that the Mariner East 2 pipeline is solely in interstate commerce because it crosses state lines. Con-demnees maintain that Sunoco thus lacks eminent domain power because the Mariner East 2 pipeline can never be regulated by PUC as the .Code prohibits PUC from regulating interstate commerce. Con-demnees argue that common pleas used an incorrect conception of interstate commerce and cite numerous decisions for the proposition that a pipeline that crosses a state line is in interstate commerce and that products in that pipeline remdin in interstate commerce during their entire journey. Condemnees thus disagree with common pleas’ conclusion that, because the Mariner East‘2 pipeline “will provide both loading and offloading of ethane, propane, liquid petroleum gas and other petroleum products within the Commonwealth ... [it] provides intrastate service, regulated by the [PUC].” (September 29, 2015 Order at 2n. 1.)
Based on our review, we conclude that the record establishes that the expanded service to be provided by the Mariner East 2 pipeline will involve both interstate service (subject to FERC regulation) and intrastate service (subject to PUC regulation) and that common pleas did not err when it overruled Condemnees’ Preliminary Objection. FERC’s decision in Amoco and the other authority previously discussed support this conclusion. Condemnees apparently do not accept that the service at issue can be both interstate and intrastate, and the cases they cite are not on point as they address general principles.of interstate commerce and/or transport of natural gas.- Moreover, PUC Orders related to the Mariner East Project and the testimony before common pleas establishes that the Mariner East 2 pipeline will provide both interstate and intrastate service. (R.R. at 49a, 58a-54a, 61a-62a, 66a, 68a, 72a-73a, 118a-19a, 667a, 669a, 1336a, 1339a, 1344a, 1378a.)
The record establishes that the Mariner East 2 pipeline will consist of a physical structure with access points in Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. Product will be placed into the pipeline and removed at multiple points within Pennsylvania. (R.R. at 945a.) In addition, Sunoco has filed, and receivéd PUC approval, of multiple tariffs applicable to Sunoco’s provision of intrastate service through the Mariner East Project, including the use of Mariner East 2. (See supra note 10.) As we noted, under Section 1302 of the Code, authority to file a tariff is limited to a public utility regulated by PUC. We thus conclude that Sunoco is a public utility corporation empowered to exercise eminent domain under Section 1511 of the BCL, and that common pleas did not err when it overruled Condemnees’ Preliminary Objection that the Mariner East 2 pipeline was an interstate pipeline and not an intrastate pipeline.
C. PUC Regulation of Mariner East 2 Service
Condemnees next argue that common pleas erred when it concluded that the Mariner East 2 pipeline provides service regulated by PUC. There are two related prongs to Condemnees’ argument; that PUC Orders do not cover service on the Mariner East 2 pipeline; and, that PUC did not issue a CPC for Mariner East 2 because it provides interstate commerce. Common pleas found both of these arguments unpersuasive.
The record reflects that Sunoco, on June 9, 2014, applied to PUC to expand its service territory for the Mariner East Project, including Mariner East 2, into Washington County, the only service territory not previously certificated for Mariner East service by prior CPCs. (R.R. at 60a.) By Order dated August 21, 2014, PUC granted the application authorizing Suno-co’s provision of intrastate petroleum and refined petroleum products pipeline transportation service in Washington County thus expanding Sunoco’s service territory for its Mariner East service. (R.R. at 59a-64a.) PUC’s Order accompanying the CPC described the authorized service, and specifically described Mariner East 2 service as an expansion of existing Mariner East 1 service. (R.R. at 61a.) The result of this Order is that PUC authorized Mariner East 1 and Mariner East 2 intrastate service in 17 counties, from Washington County in western Pennsylvania, through 15 other counties, including Cumberland County, to Delaware County in eastern Pennsylvania. (R.R. at 1637a.)
Subsequently, in its October 29, 2014 Order, PUC stated that:
[T]his authority [under existing CPCs] is not limited to a specific pipe or set of pipes, but rather, includes both the upgrading of current facilities and the expansion of existing capacity as needed for the provision of the authorized service within a certificated territory.
(R.R. at 122a (emphasis added).) From these PUC Orders we conclude that Suno-co’s CPCs apply to both Mariner East 1 service and to Mariner East 2 service, as it is an authorized expansion of the same service. (R.R, at 657a-59a, 1344a, 1377a.) In addition,- Sunoco’s approved tariffs proposed to add the new origin point of Houston, Washington County for west-to-east intrastate movements of propane, based on the CPCs issued. (R.R. at 66a.) On these bases, we hold that common .pleas did not err when it concluded that “PUC regulates intrastate shipments of NGL[s,]” including service provided by Mariner East 2, and that “[a]s a result, [Sunoco] has thé power of eminent domain to condemn property for the construction of [Mariner East 2].” (December 22, 2015 Op. at 4.)
D. Demonstration of Public Need
Condemnees’ final argument is that common pleas erred when it overruled the Preliminary Objections and approved a pipeline where no public need was demonstrated. According to Condemnees, PUC approval of a service is only a preliminary step, and it was common pleas’ responsibility to review the public need and to make a determination of the scope and validity of the condemnation for the Mariner East 2 pipeline.
PUC filed an amicus brief solely addressing this issue. PUC expresses concern that Condemnees’ argument, if credited, would permit eminent domain litigants to challenge the validity of PUC-issued CPCs before courts of. common pleas, which would constitute impermissible collateral attacks on otherwise valid PUC orders and raises serious jurisdictional concerns., -PUC argues, as does Sunoco, that the CPCs Sunoco obtained through its acquisition of Sun and Atlantic were for an integrated pipeline system and not a single pipeline, and that PUC’s October 29, 2014 Order confirms that Sunoco’s intrastate transportation of propane and other petroleum hydrocarbons is within its existing certificated authority for petroleum- and petroleum products. PUC cites the same history we detailed above to-establish that it, on numerous occasions, has asserted its regulatory authority over Sunoco and its public utility service on .the Mariner East system. - -
1. PUC has statewide jurisdiction over public utilities
Initially, we observe that the Code charges PUC with responsibility to determine which entities are public utilities and to regulate how public utilities provide public utility service. This has long been the statutory mandate. See, e.g., Pottsville Union Traction Co. v. Pennsylvania Public Service Comm’n, 67 Pa.Super. 301 (1917). It is beyond purview that the General Assembly intended PUC to have statewide jurisdiction over public utilities and to foreclose local public utility regulation. Duquesne Light Co. v. Monroeville Borough, 449 Pa. 573, 298 A.2d 252 (1972).
As previously described, in the public utility context, an entity must meet separate but related requirements set forth in both the BCL and the Code to be a public utility corporation clothed with the power of eminent domain. Section 1511(a)(2) of the BCL provides that “public utility corporations” may exercise the power of eminent domain to condemn property for the transportation of, inter alia, natural gas and petroleumproducts. Section 1103 of the BCL defines public utility corporation ás “[a]ny domestic or foreign corporation for profit that ... is subject to regulation as a public utility by the [PUC]....” 15 Pa.C.S. § 1103. Section 1104 of the Code requires that a public utility must possess a CPC issued by PUC pursuant to Section 1101 of thé Code before exercising eminent domain. While courts of common pleas have jurisdiction to review whether an entity attempting to exercise eminent domain power meets the BCL criteria, that jurisdiction does not include the authority to revisit PUC adjudications. A CPC issued by PUC is prima facie evidence that PUC has determined that there is a public need for the proposed service and that the holder is clothed with the eminent domain power. This Court has stated “[t]he administrative system of this Commonwealth would be thrown into chaos if we were to hold that agency decisions, reviewable by law by the Commonwealth Court, are also susceptible to collateral attack in equity in the numerous common pleas courts.” Aitkenhead v. Borough of West View, 65 Pa.Cmwlth. 213, 442 A.2d 364, 367 n. 5 (1982).
2. The Eminent Domain Code governs the scope and validity of a taking, and not public need
The Eminent Domain Code governs process and procedure in condemnation proceedings. Section 306 of the Eminent Domain Code provides in pertinent part that:
§ 306. Preliminary objections.
(a) Filing and exclusive method of challenging certain matters.—
(1) Within 30 days after being served with notice of condemnation, the con-demnee may file preliminary objections to the declaration of taking.
(2) The court upon cause shown may extend the time for filing preliminary objections;
(3) Preliminary objections shall be limited to and shall be the exclusive method of challenging:
(i) The power or right of the con-demnor to appropriate the condemned property unless it has been previously adjudicated.
(ii) Thesufficiency of the security.
(iii) The declaration of taking.
(iv) Any other procedure followed by the condemnor.
26 Pa.C.S. § 306(a).
The Eminent Domain Code does not permit common pleas to review the public need for a proposed service by a public utility that has been authorized by PUC through the issuance of a CPC. In Fairview Water Co. v. Public Utility Comm’n, 509 Pa. 384, 502 A.2d 162 (1985), our Supreme Court discussed the proper forum for a condemnee’s challenge to the legality of a taking when a public utility attempts to condemn an easement and PUC has . determined that condemnee’s property is necessary for the utility service. The case stemmed from a dispute between Fairview and a power company over the power company’s continuing use of an easement previously agreed to by the parties. Id. at 163. The power company filed an application with PUC requesting a finding and determination that its transmission line was necessary and proper for the service, accommodation, convenience, or .safety of the public. A PUC Administrative Law Judge determined that- the service was necessary and proper and also determined the scope and validity of the easement. This court affirmed. On appeal, Fairview argued that PUC lacked jurisdiction to determine the scope and validity of the easement. Id. at 163-64. The- Supreme Court agreed and stated: “[o]nce there has been a determination by the PUC that the proposed service is necessary and proper, the issues of scope and validity and damages must be determined by a- Court of Common Pleas exercising equity jurisdiction.” Id. at 167. As Suno-co here holds CPCs issued by PUC and PUC in its Orders issuing the CPCs found the authorized service to be necessary and proper, it is left to common pleas to evaluate scope and validity of the easement, but not the public need.
As illustrated by Fairview, determinations of public need for a proposed utility service are made by PUC, not the courts. Section 1103 of the Code requires an applicant for a CPC to establish that the proposed service is “necessary or proper for the service, accommodation, convenience, or safety of the public.” 66 Pa.C.S. § 1103(a). Under this section, the applicant must “demonstrate a public need or demand for the proposed service....” Chester Water Auth. v. Public Utility Comm’n, 581 Pa. 640, 868 A.2d 384, 386 (2005) (emphasis added).
In this case, PUC in its July 24, 2014 Order held that Sunoco’s proposed intrastate propane service would result in “numerous potential public benefits” by allowing Sunoco “to immediately address the need for uninterrupted deliveries of propane in Pennsylvania and to ensure that there is adequate pipeline capacity to meet peak demand for propane during the winter heating season.” (R.R. at 49a-50a.) Further, in granting Sunoeo’s CPC application to extend its service territory into Washington County, PUC stated:
[W]e believe that "approval of this Application is necessary and proper for the service, accommodation, and convenience of the public. We believe granting Sunoco authority to commence intrastate transportation of propane in Washington County will enhance delivery options for the transport of natural gas and natural gas liquids in Pennsylvania. In .the wake of the propane shortage experienced in 2014, Sunoco’s proposed service will increase the supply of propane in markets with a demand for these, resources, including in Pennsylvania, ensuring that Pennsylvania’s citizens enjoy access to propane heating fuel. Additionally, the proposed service will offer a safer and more economic transportation alternative for shippers to existing rail and trucking services.
(R.R. at 63a (emphasis added).)
Here, both PUC and common pleas followed their statutory mandates and evaluated the issues within their respective pur-views. There is no basis for a common pleas court to review a PUC determination of public need, In fact, to allow such review would permit collateral attacks on PUC decisions and be contrary to Section 763 of the Judicial Code, 42 Pa.C.S. § 763, which places. review of PUC decisions within the jurisdiction of this Court.
-For - these reasons, we conclude that common pleas did not err when it overruled Condemnees’ Preliminary Objections to Sunoco’s Declarations of Taking. We further conclude that Sunoco is regulated as a public utility by PUC and is a public utility corporation, and Mariner East intrastate service is a public utility service rendered by Sunoco within the meaning of the BCL, 15 P&C.SÍ §§ 1103, 1511. The September 29, 2015 Order of the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County is hereby affirmed.

See, e.g., 42 U.S.C. § 7155; 42 U.S.C. § 7172(b) (transferring authority conferred by ICA upon the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) to regulate pipeline transportation of oil to FERC); 49 U.S.C. § 60502 (regarding FERC jurisdiction over rates for the transportation of oil by pipeline formerly vested in the ICC). According to its website, FERC is an independent agency that among other duties regulates the interstate transmission of electricity, natural gas and oil. The website further notes that many areas beyond FERC’s jurisdiction are within the province of state public utility commissions. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, What FERC Does, available at http://ferc.gov/about/ferc-does.asp (last visited May 20, 2016).
. Pipeline transportation services are defined as public utility services under Section 102 of the Code, 66 Pa.C.S. § 102, which provides as follows:
§ 102. Definitions.
* * *
Public utility.
(1) Any person or corporations now or hereafter owning or operating in this Commonwealth equipment or facilities for:

Id.
. Sunoco points out that the term "public utility corporation” is not limited to corporations, but also includes partnerships and limited liability companies, citing Section 8102(a)(2) of the BCL, 15 Pa.C.S. § 8102(a)(2), which provides that:
§ 8102. Interchangeability of partnership, limited liability company and corporate forms of organization.

Id.
. PUC has interpreted the definition of petroleum products” broadly to encompass what would otherwise be an exhaustive list of products. This list includes propane. See Petition of Sunoco Pipeline, L.P. for Amendment of the Order Entered on August 29, 2013, Entered July 24, 2014, Docket No. P-2014-2422583, at 9 n. 5, (R.R. at 41a-51a); and Petition of Granger Energy of Honey Brook LLC, Docket No. P-00032043, at 14 (Order entered August 19, 2004). In thesfe Orders, PUC held that this interpretation is consistent with the definition of petroleum gas” in the federal gas pipeline transportation safety regulations at 49 C.F.R. Part 192. Part 192 has been adopted by PUC and defines petroleum gas” to include propane, 49 C.F.R. § 192.3. PUC posits that its interpretation also is consistent with the definition of petroleum” in the federal hazardous liquids pipeline safety regulations at 49 C.F.R. Part 195. Part 195 also has been adopted by PUC (52 Pa.Code § 59.33(b)) and defines "petroleum” to include natural gas liquids and liquefied petroleum gas, which can .include propane. 49 C.F.R. § 195.2. The following definitions can be found in the Parts 192 and 195 of the C.F.R.:
§ 192.3 Definitions.
As used in this part:
Petroleum gas means propane, propylene, butane, (normal butane or isobutanes), and butylene (including isomers), or mixtures composed predominantly of these gases, having a vapor pressure not exceeding 208 psi (1434 kPa) gage at 100° F (38° C).
49 C.F.R. § 192.3
§ 195.2 Definitions
As used in this part—
* * *
Petroleum means crude oil, condensate, natural gasoline, natural gas liquids, and liquefied petroleum gas.
Petroleum product means flammable, toxic, or corrosive products obtained from distilling and processing of crude oil, unfinished oils, natural gas liquids, blend stocks and other miscellaneous hydrocarbon compounds.
49 C.F.R. § 195.2 :
. According to the United States Energy Information Administration:
Natural gas liquids, (NGLs) are hydrocarbons — in the same family of molecules as natural gas and crude oil, composed exclusively of carbon and hydrogen. Ethane, propane, butane, isóbutane, and pentane are all NGLs ,.. NGLs are used as inputs for petrochemical plants, burned for space heat and cooking, and blended into vehicle fuel ....
The chemical composition of these hydrocarbons is . similar, yet their applications vary widely. Ethaneoccupies the largest share of NGL field production. It is used almost exclusively tp produce ethylene, which is then turned into plastics. Much of the propane, by contrast, is burned for heating, although a substantial amount is used as petrochemical feedstock-

. Sunoco also points out that it has filed all necessary tariffs required to implement the intrastate service proposed by the Mariner East Project. The authority to file a tariff is limited to a public utility regulated by PUC. Section 1302 of the Code states that “every public utility shall file with the [Cjommission ... tariffs showing all rates established by it and collected or enforced, or to be collected or enforced, within the jurisdiction of the [C]ommission.” 66 Pa.C.S. § 1302. The record contains the following with regard to Su-noco’s tariffs:
Sunoco filed Tariff Pipeline — Pa. P.U.C. No. 16 on June 12, 2014. By final Order dated August 21, 2014, in Docket No. R-2014-2426158 PUC permitted the tariff to become effective on October 1, 2014. (R.R. at 53a-56a.) On November 6, 2014, Sunoco filed Supplement No. 2 Tariff Pipeline-Pa P.U.C. No. 16 (Supplement No. 2) to become effective January 5, 2015. (R.R. at 66a.) Supplement No. 2 proposed to add the new origin point of Houston, Washington County for west-to-east intrastate movements of propane, based on the CPCs issued. (Id.) On December 18, 2014, Sunoco filed Supplement No. 4 voluntarily postponing the effective date to January 16, 2015. PUC allowed Tariff Pipeline-Pa. P.U.C. No. 16 and Supplement No. 2 to become effective. (R.R. at 53a-57a, 66a-69a.)
. The York County decision upon which Condemnees rely for their collateral estoppel argument and which we address infra was issued during this timeframe and prior to Sunoco’s decision to expand service on the Mariner East Project to include intrastate service.
. Section 703(g) of the Code provides:
§ 703. Fixing of hearings.

(g) Rescission and amendment of orders.— The commission may, at any time, after notice and after opportunity to be heard as provided in this chapter, rescind or amend any order made by it. Any order rescinding or amending a prior order shall, when served upon the person, corporation, or municipal corporation affected, and after notice thereof is given to the other parties to the proceedings, have the same effect as is herein provided for original orders.
66 Pa.C.S. § 703(g).
. (December 22, 2015 Op. at 2 n. 1.)
. Common pleas added the following footnote to its September 29, 2015 Order:
We feel that a brief explanation of our decision is appropriate in regards to [sic] Preliminary Objections 1, 3 and 7. As to the first Preliminary Objection, the Mariner East 2 (ME2) pipeline at issue will provide both loading and offloading of ethane, propane, liquid petroleum gas and other petroleum products within the Commonwealth. As such, ME2 provides intrastate service, regulated by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC). [Sunoco] is a "[p]ublic utility corporation” as defined at 15 Pa. C.S.[] §1103. Pennsylvania public utility corporations possess the power of eminent domain. 15 Pa.C.S.[] § 1511. Since ME2 may be regulated by both the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the PUC, federal preemption is not at issue. As to the third Preliminary Objection, the Honorable Judge Linebaughs decision in Sunoco Pipeline, L.P. v. Loper, 2013-SU-4518-05 (C.P.York, February 24, 2014) (reaffirmed March 25, 2014) is inapposite to the case at bar. Loper was decided when Condemnor’s plans for ME2 consisted of the installation of a purely interstate pipeline, crossing Pennsylvania state lines but containing no stations for the off-loading of transported materials. In Loper, Condem-nor had argued that FERC provided that with the power of eminent domain for a purely interstate pipeline. Since that decision Condemnor has reconfigured ME2 to be both an interstate pipeline as well as an intrastate pipeline subject to PUC regulation.
While we had questions as to the adequacy of the bond, the Condemnees failed to present any evidence as to the effect of the taking upon the value of their property.. Therefore we have no alternative but to overrule their seventh Preliminary Objection.
(September 29, 2015 Order at 2 (emphasis in original).)
. Pa. R.A.P. 1925(b) provides as follows:
Rule 1925. Opinion in Support of Order
* * *
(b) Direction to file statement of errors complained of on appeal; instructions to the appellant and the trial court. — If the judge entering the order giving rise to the notice of appeal (judge”) desires clarification of the errors complained of on appeal, the judge may enter an order directing the appellant to file of record in the trial court and serve on the judge a concise statement of the errors complained of on appeal (Statement”).
Id.
. Common pleas also rejected Condemnees’ arguments that Sunoco’s corporate resolutions authorized takings for interstate pipelines only. (December 22, 2015 Op..at 5-6.) Condemnees do not pursue that argument here.
. In an eminent domain case disposed of on preliminary objections this Court is limited to determining if common pleas necessary findings of fact are supported by competent evidence and if án‘ error of law or an abuse of discretion was committed. Stark v. Equitable Gas Co., LLC, 116 A.3d 760, 765 n. 8 (Pa.Cmwlth.2015).
. See, e.g., Maryland v. Louisiana, 451 U.S. 725, 101 S.Ct. 2114, 68 L.Ed.2d 576 (1981) (for purposes of evaluating effect under the Commerce Clause of state tax, natural gas flowing from Gulf of Mexico in pipelines through Louisiana to up to 30 other states does not lose interstate character even if processing to remove NGLs takes place in Louisiana); California v. Lo-Vaca Gathering Co., 379 U.S. 366, 85 S.Ct. 486, 13 L.Ed.2d 357 (1965) (sale of gas which crosses a state line at any stage of its movement from wellhead to ultimate consumption is in interstate commerce within the meaning of the Natural Gas Act).
. Testimony shows that on-loading in Pennsylvania will occur in Independence Township (Washington County), Houston (Washington County), Delmont (Westmoreland County), and Mechanicsburg (Cumberland County). (R.R. at 1340a.) Off-loading points in Pennsylvania are in Mechanicsburg, Schaefferstown (Lebanon County), Montello (Berks County), and Twin Oaks (Delaware County). (R.R. at 1341a.)
. PUC takes no position regarding the affir-mance or reversal of common pleas’ decision or whether Sunoco . appropriately exercised eminent domain authority against Con-demnees’ real property interests.
. 26 Pa.C.S. §§ 101-1106.
. Condemnees cite several decisions for the proposition that "[t]he Court must ... review whether Mariner East 2 pipeline satisfies the public purpose test.” (Condemnees’ Br. at 26-27.) However, none of the cases cited support the proposition that common pleas may review a public utility’s CPC in an eminent domain context because those cases involve appellate review of PUC decisions related to public need for a particular service, nocourt decisions involving eminent domain.
