Is the Muckinipattis Wastewater Treatment Plant an area of potential concern for area residents [i.e., any potential pathways of exposure] based on previous “dangerous” disposal practices at this facility? Do you believe sampling is necessary at this facility?

The area of the present day DELCORA Pumping Station is believed to historically been used for the drying of sewage sludge generated at the former Muckinipattis Wastewater Treatment plant, based on historic newspaper articles and aerial photography.  This area is now fenced off to prevent access to the Pumping Station and does not present a threat of exposure to the general public. There have been no samples collected from the area where the former treatment plant structures used to be located, however sediment samples have been collected along Muckinipattis Creek which borders that site.  EPA does not have any data or information (alleged or verified) to warrant sampling of the former Wastewater Treatment plant property to determine if hazardous substances are present that are impacting human health or the environment.
