The Department of Environmental Protection Thursday announced it has determined the Phase II Part B portion of Elcon Recycling Services, LLC’s commercial hazardous waste treatment and storage facility application in Falls Township, Bucks County to be administratively complete.

The application will now undergo a 10-month technical review which will include opportunities for public participation. 

DEP conducted a series of administrative completeness reviews on the hazardous waste application, resulting in two DEP administrative deficiency letters dated May 30, 2017, and January 9, 2018.

In response to those review letters, Elcon supplemented the application with responses received by DEP on October 13, 2017, and May 9, 2018. 

The responses were intended to address the comments noted in DEP’s two administrative deficiency letters and supplemented the application by providing additional information and/or revisions to pages, forms, reports or drawings submitted in the application. 

Additional DEP application submittals are expected for this project.

A copy of the hazardous waste application, correspondence on the project, opportunities for public participation, as well as other project updates can be found at DEP’s Elcon Permit webpage.
