Remediation plan filed for Bishop Tube Superfund site
Plan consists of a combination of in situ chemical injections, soil mixing, engineering practices, institutional controls and long-term monitoring to address soil, groundwater and surface water contamination.
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) filed a remediation plan that addresses contamination in soil, groundwater and surface water last week. It provides for a public water connection to a private homeowner at the Bishop Tube Hazardous Site Cleanup Act (HSCA) site in East Whiteland Township, Chester County.
“This remediation plan represents the culmination of a thorough assessment and review of a complex site,” says DEP Southeast Regional Director Pat Patterson. “We believe this remedy selection will provide a comprehensive pathway for cleaning up and reusing the site in a way that is protective of public health and the environment.”
