Norristown, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) listed the Nockamixon TCE Site to Pennsylvania’s Priority List of Hazardous Sites for Remedial Response (PAPL) on January 18, 2025. Since 2009, DEP has conducted soil, surface water, and groundwater investigations on the contamination – and has worked with the impacted local homeowners to install protection measures to ensure they can have clean air and pure water. While DEP has already addressed the immediate public health impacts, adding the Site to the PAPL allows DEP to address the problem head on and remediate the contamination at the source.
