ADVISORY – NORRISTOWN – DEP to Host Public Hearings Regarding Air Quality Plan Approvals for Proposed Compressor Stations in Delaware, Bucks Counties



The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) will host two public hearings regarding Adelphia Pipeline Company, LLC’s plans to construct two compressor stations, one each in Delaware and Bucks counties, as part of its Adelphia Gateway project. Both hearings will be held on Tuesday, December 4, 2018, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the Lower Chichester Township Municipal Building and the West Rockhill Township Municipal Building.
    
These hearings are intended to allow residents the opportunity to comment on the draft plan approvals. Air Quality Plan Approvals address air pollution sources and applicable control devices, including monitoring and recordkeeping, that will ensure construction and operation are conducted in compliance with applicable rules and regulations. DEP will record testimony and receive written comments throughout the hearing, as well as accept written comments until December 14, 2018. All comments, whether submitted orally or in writing, are considered equal and will be responded to in a comment response document following the review.
 
Those wishing to testify in person should contact Community Relations Coordinator Virginia Cain at vicain@pa.gov or 484-250-5808; pre-registration is requested but not required. Written comments may be sent to: Jim Rebarchak, Environmental Program Manager, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401. Comments may also be emailed to epseroaqpubcom@pa.gov, with the subject clearly stating that the email is intended for public record.
