Energy Transfer remains committed to the cleanup and restoration of the Mt. Eyre neighborhood. We recognize that this will be a lengthy process, but we have and will continue to take more immediate steps. We initiated the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Act 2 process last month, and we have begun the installation of Point of Entry Treatment (POET) systems to many homes in the community.

Site Investigation and Characterization Work

We continue to work on the site investigation and characterization under the oversight of the DEP. As part of this important work, we had scheduled to begin drilling the first two recovery wells at 108 Spencer Road this week. This work has been postponed until we receive full access to the site. We anticipate this work beginning in the near term. We will share more information in the very near future. 

Water Testing

Energy Transfer’s third-party environmental consultants continue to perform water testing for residents and are now working through a second round of tests. As of 4 p.m. Monday, March 3, consultants have performed 301 first-round tests, 118 second-round tests and 11 post-treatment tests in the neighborhood. We have received results for 374 tests. The number of wells impacted either with light non-phase liquid petroleum (LNAPL) or with constituents present above statewide health standards remains at 6, and the number of wells with constituents present within the method reporting limit, but below statewide health standards, is 5. We continue to schedule and perform both first- and second-round water tests.
