DEP to Host Public Meeting and Hearing on Easton Road PFC HSCA Site Investigation and Proposed Response Action

Norristown, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) will host a public meeting and hearing on Monday, November 18, 2019, to provide an update on its investigation of the Easton Road PFC Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) Site and to receive comments on its proposed response action of whole-house filtration systems in Doylestown Township, Bucks County.
 
The meeting will begin at 6:30 PM at Lenape Middle School, 313 W. State St. in Doylestown, with an investigation update and proposed response action overview, followed by a short question-and-answer session.

The formal public hearing will begin after a brief intermission. Residents will have up to three minutes to provide comments on the proposed actions; time may not be relinquished to others, and organizations are asked to designate one representative to provide comments on their behalf.

DEP will record the comments throughout the formal public hearing and will accept written comments until January 17, 2020. DEP will add the recorded oral comments and written comments to the Administrative Record, which is the information that documents the selection and forms the basis of the response action.

The Administrative Record is available for review online at www.dep.pa.gov/eastonroad or by appointment between the hours of 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM at DEP Southeast Regional Office, 2 E. Main St., Norristown, PA 19401, 484-250-5910, and at the Doylestown, Plumstead, and Buckingham township buildings.

Written comments may be sent to Josh Crooks, project officer at DEP, 2 East Main St., Norristown, PA 19401. Comments may also be emailed to jocrooks@pa.gov, with the subject “Easton Road PFC HSCA Site Administrative Record Comments.”
