The Department of Environmental Protection will hold a meeting and hearing March 26 on the proposed response to TCE contamination of water supply wells in the Rose Valley Lake area of Gamble Township in Lycoming County. (PA Bulletin page 1219)

The water supply wells of six homes in the Rose Valley Lake have been contaminated by trichloroethene at levels that approach or exceed the statewide cleanup standard.

DEP is proposing and is in the process of providing water treatment systems to remove the TCE from the water supplies to ensure residents have water that meets or is below the statewide health standards for TCE.

The combined meeting and hearing will be held at the Gamble Township Community Hall, 17 Beech Valley Road, in Trout Run.  The meeting will start at 6:00 p.m. DEP staff will be available to discuss the contamination and the response during the meeting.  The hearing will start at 7:00.

Persons wishing to present comments at the hearing should register in advance by contacting Megan Lehman at 570-327-3659 or send email to: meglehman@pa.gov.

Documents related to this response are available for public review at the DEP Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, in Williamsport. Call 570-327-3636 to set up a review of the file at this location.
