The Phase I portion of the application was found to be in conformance with the exclusionary siting criteria regulations on November 12, 2015.

A digital copy of the application and subsequent amendments to the application are available on DEP’s Southeast Regional Office webpage.

In addition, copies are available for review at DEP’s office in Norristown, the Levittown Branch of the Bucks County Library, 7311 New Falls Road, Levittown, and the Westampton Branch of the Burlington County Library, 5 Pioneer Boulevard, Westampton, New Jersey).
