The Wolf Administration’s PFAS Action Team announced a public meeting of the Action Team will take place on Monday, April 15, 2019, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Abington Senior High School on 900 Highland Avenue in Abington, PA.

“At this meeting we will hear updates from DEP on a sampling plan to identify potentially contaminated drinking water sources and from the Department of Health on the pilot study for blood levels,” said Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Secretary Patrick McDonnell.

Governor Wolf formed the Action Team in September 2018, to address perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contaminants across the commonwealth and protect Pennsylvania residents. Representatives from local governments and water utilities will also present on the challenges of managing PFAS chemicals, as well as working with the commonwealth and the federal government to address cleanup at the U.S. Navy at the former Willow Grove Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base, The Pennsylvania Air National Guard at the Joint Reserve Base in Willow Grove, and at the Naval Air Development Center in Warminster, PA.

 The meeting will include an opportunity for members of the public to provide comment in person. Commenters are asked to present no more than three minutes of remarks. Residents unable to attend or who would like to submit remarks in writing can use DEP’s eComment system.
